Which Should You Buy?
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.
Composition Eight takes on Amouage's Opus VIII, that demanding, jasmine-forward floral oriental. Perfume Parlour captures the opulent jasmine and spicy-incense heart but smooths out the original's shape-shifting complexity, giving a steadier, more linear wear that loses some of the Amouage's artful unpredictability.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
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.
Seasons
The opulent florals, spice and incense lean cool-weather, peaking in autumn and winter and feeling heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Rich and statement-making, it favours evening and formal wear over the office or casual days.
