Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Library Collection Opus VII

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions like no other. It’s an aggressive, dark green beast that’s definitely not for the faint-hearted. Prepare for a full-on olfactory assault that demands a certain kind of wearer.

Our Verdict - Oud Al Abyadh

This one's a bold chypre that takes you back in time, full of cypress, leather, and oakmoss. It's not for the faint-hearted, boasting a strong, earthy character that's definitely old-school, but in a rather good way. A proper statement scent.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Also Works:

Formal

Its overwhelming strength and divisive nature make it completely unsuitable for the office or casual wear. It leans towards formal or special occasions where its unique, bold character can be appreciated without causing offence, particularly in colder seasons given its heavy composition.

Given its bold opening and woody accords, this scent leans towards evening formal occasions rather than casual or office wear. The substantial character suggests it's best reserved for making a definitive statement.
