Which Should You Buy?
If your nose can handle the challenge, Lubb Al Oud is a deep, divisive fragrance. Prepare for a rich, intense experience that isn't for the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent.
Luxor is a challenging, divisive scent that demands patience. Its opening is often described as off-putting, even 'fecal', but those brave enough to push through are rewarded with a rich, complex dry-down. Definitely try before you buy, it's not for the faint of heart.
