Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Library Collection Opus VIII EDP
This is a seriously polarising floral monster. Some find it beautiful, complex, and luxurious: an ode to jasmine. Others call it a screechy, old-fashioned floral that smells like a nursing home. Love it or hate it, you can't dispute its huge presence.

Our Verdict - Lunar EDP
A divisive beast, Lunar is one of those 'love it or hate it' scents that sticks around. If you're a patchouli fiend who likes a dark, potent fragrance with some serious oomph, this could be your next signature. For others, it's a bit much.

Season and Occasion Fit

The Library Collection Opus VIII

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and exceptional longevity, Opus VIII is not ideal for the office or casual daily wear where subtlety is key. It's much better suited for date nights and formal events, where its bold and luxurious character can truly shine without overwhelming.

Lunar

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its intense character and powerful sillage, Lunar is far too overwhelming for office or casual wear. It shines on dates or formal events where its distinctive, bold presence can be appreciated without suffocating those around you.
