Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Oriental EDP
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 - Sole Patchouli EDP
This one's a divisive marvel. Some call it a masterpiece of modern patchouli; others recoil from its medicinal bite. It’s either a fresh, clean take on a classic or a harsh, synthetic mess. Definitely try before you buy, as 'Sole Patchouli' ignites strong opinions.

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.

Sole Patchouli

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its potent projection and longevity suggest a 'less is more' approach across occasions. While versatile due to its fresh, clean patchouli, its intensity might be too much for a formal office setting. It shines in casual and date settings where its unique presence can be appreciated without overwhelming.
