Interesting discussion about Aroha Kyaku and Oud Dhul Q.
I have both and both are beloved. The AR has incense in the beginning and towards the middle, you get a very sweet sensation which totally is the opposite of the beginning. Very long lasting and the dry down is incensy/sweet.
However the Oud Dhul Q starts off strong with a incense type note in the beginning and slowly turns into somewhat sweet tobacco towards the middle and at the end it's left with just sweetness which in my opinion is a notch better then AK.
At the end, it's ones own preference of what they like!
