GUCCI GUILTY OUD

This scent combines the best of both the men's and women's fragrances from the Gucci house. The signature note of oud is reinvented with the addition of Bulgarian rose, leather, blackberry and patchouli to make it more exotic and smoky than ever.

HUGO BOSS BOTTLED OUD SAFFRON

One of the top notes of this oriental scent may be rose but this isn't your grandmother's rose. This floral note is elegantly combined with notes of saffron, agarwood and labdanum, giving the fragrance a nuanced, heady quality.
