Which Should You Buy?
Sand Aoud by Mancera is a polarising scent, loved by those who appreciate its unique, spicy oud character and despised by others for its challenging, sometimes medicinal opening. It's a statement fragrance for the bold.
Tom Ford Plum Japonais is a legendary, much-missed masterpiece. This opulent, boozy plum and spiced oud scent was tragically discontinued, sparking fervent demand and cries for its return.
