Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and winter pair best.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
Occasions
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.
