Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Moon Eau de Parfum
A truly polarising beast, The Moon is either a masterpiece or an unwearable scrubber, depending on who you ask. If you're a fan of mega-loud, animalic oud with a fruity twist, this could be your holy grail. For everyone else, tread with extreme caution.

Our Verdict - Oud du Jour Eau de Parfum
Don't let the name fool you - this isn't an oud bomb, despite the strong sillage and longevity. It's a classy, sweet-fruity-oud for those who want a crowd-pleasing scent for cooler weather. A true masterpiece for some, a 'Tuscan Leather' clone to others, but one thing is clear: it's not a true oud fragrance.

Season and Occasion Fit

The Moon Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its nuclear performance and strong sillage make it unsuitable for office or casual wear, as it's likely to overwhelm. This fragrance is best reserved for formal events or evening dates where its opulent and bold character can truly shine.

Oud du Jour Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Formal

Despite its strong sillage and longevity, many users find this wearable in an office setting due to its well-balanced, less aggressive oud profile. Its elegant fruity-sweet character with warm spicy undertones makes it perfect for dates and evening events, while still being appealing for smart casual wear; however, it's far too rich for sport.
