Which Should You Buy?
A quietly sophisticated mix of pepper, woods, and incense softened by rose. Restful lives up to its name with a soothing, spa-like aura that's elegant but never showy. Superb value if you crave calm over drama.
If you're after an Oriental attar that's bold, evocative, and takes you on a journey, Oud Luban is your ticket. It's a gorgeous, potent beast of an oud that will turn heads.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Black pepper, dry cedar, and frankincense make a crisp fall and spring profile, with a soft veil of rose for elegance. Mild winter wears well; high summer is the weakest fit because the resinous incense dries out in heat.
Occasions
Discreet projection and a clean spicy-woody character work for office and casual day wear, while the rose and incense give it enough quiet presence for a date. Lacks the gravitas for formal evenings and is too aromatic for sport.
Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
This fragrance isn't for the faint of heart or the close-quarters office, given its potent oud and strong sillage. It's best reserved for dates or formal events where its commanding presence can be appreciated, transporting you to exotic locales without being out of place.
