Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Happy Oud
Divisive, potent, and a total steal for its price point. Ignore the 'Happy' in the name, this oud-leather beast is for those who like to make an entrance. It's not a blind buy unless you live for bold, Middle Eastern-inspired scents.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Dehn El Oud Shaheen
This is a divisive but budget-friendly oud oil. For some, it's a 'holy', 'comforting' introduction to oud, while others find it too animalic, like a 'horse stall'. A true love-it-or-hate-it experience.

Season and Occasion Fit

Happy Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong oud and leather accords, this is too assertive for most office environments, but perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event. It's a bit much for casual daytime wear unless you're feeling particularly bold, and definitely not for sport.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its potent oud and animalic character, described by some as 'strong' and 'long-lasting', make it less suitable for office environments where sillage needs to be controlled. However, its exotic warmth is suitable for special occasions like dates or formal events, and can be worn casually if applied sparingly.
