Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a potent, traditional rose-oud experience that some will adore for its quality and beastly performance, while others will find it too 'barnyard' or just plain unpleasant. Definitely sniff before you splurge.
Saffron and pink pepper warm a rose and frankincense base in this spiced, smoky floral, inspired by Octavian Electimuss. Light and close to the skin, best on cooler days and evenings.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A year-round scent - easy to wear in any season.
Occasions
With its nuclear performance and intense oud-rose profile, Octavian is far too potent for the office or casual settings. It's best reserved for evening dates or formal events where its luxurious depth can shine without overwhelming those around you.
Seasons
Best in autumn and winter - the warm spicy, floral profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for evening and daily - the warm spicy accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
