Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Library Collection Opus VII EDP
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 - Sellier EDP
Prepare for deja vu, because Byredo Sellier is basically Santal 33's edgy, leather-clad sibling. It's a divisive one - some adore its sophisticated, smoky depth, others find it shockingly similar to its famous cousin, often for a much higher price tag. Not a safe blind buy, but if you want to be the 'King of Assholes,' fill your boots.

Season and Occasion Fit

The Library Collection Opus VII

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.

Sellier

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong, smoky leather profile and often reported good longevity and sillage for a Byredo, Sellier might be too imposing for the office. It truly shines in evening settings, be it a sophisticated date or a formal event, where its luxurious warmth can make a statement. Some reviews indicate casual winter wear, but its intensity limits versatility.
