Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive beast: an intense, smoky oud that polarises opinion. Some find it a rich, accessible oud; others, a rancid, putrid mess. Definitely not for the faint-hearted or a blind buy, best for those who truly love strong, traditional Arab incense vibes.
This one's a divisive beast. Some find it a 'Gothic masterpiece' with dark elegance; others are attacked by 'skanky oud' and 'outdated' rose that 'violates' the nose. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so test before you commit.
