Alioth

Which Should You Buy?
This is a bold, dark, woody oud with a strong leathery character that, confusingly, some find an inoffensive crowd-pleaser and others a petroleum-soaked villain. It's a statement scent for those who like to stand out, but be warned that some find the dry-down disappointing.
This isn't a shy one. Alioth is a regal, unapologetic oud-rose, polarising for its animalic depth but celebrated by those who crave a distinctive, opulent scent. It's an investment, but many find it utterly essential.
