Which Should You Buy?
Oscar is a classic 70s powerhouse, divisive for its 'old-fashioned' vibe, but loved by many for its opulent white florals and warm embrace. It's a journey, not a fleeting trend, demanding confidence but rewarding with a truly unique presence.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong sillage and impressive longevity, Oscar leans away from everyday office wear where it could be overwhelming. Its rich white floral and amber accords, combined with a 'classy' and 'luxurious' sentiment from reviews, make it perfect for formal events and romantic dates, while being less suited for casual or sporty settings.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
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.
