Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Oriental
This is a seriously polarising scent, with some finding it a heavenly, modern take on oud, while others are put off by what they perceive as an overpowering, synthetic violet. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Pink Velvet
This rosy stunner is a crowd-pleaser, surprising many with its balance and sweetness. Ideal for those who adore a well-rounded rose, it's a refreshing change for anyone looking to broaden their scent horizons beyond oud and tobacco. It's affordable, versatile, and simply lovely.

Season and Occasion Fit

Oud Oriental

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it suitable for an evening date or formal event, where its luxurious and unique character can shine. It's too rich and complex for casual wear or sport, and could be a bit much for an office setting if over-sprayed.

Pink Velvet

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its balanced, sweet rose profile makes it excellent for dates or casual wear, offering a romantic and approachable vibe. While it can work for formal occasions, its sweetness might be a bit much for a very serious office setting, and it’s definitely not suited for sport.
