Which Should You Buy?
Luna starts a bit wonky, but give it time to macerate and it transforms. What begins as a potent patchouli blast settles into a fantastic, unusual caramelised citrus and woody floral. Highly recommended for those who love a journey in their scent.
This is Shalimar for the modern punter; less of the classic heft, more of the sparkling, wearable magic. Despite being 'just' a cologne, it punches above its weight in presence and longevity. A must-try even if the EDP wasn't for you.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its initial potency and strong projection make it less ideal for the office, but its sophisticated dry down and unique character are perfect for dates and evening events. The warmth and sweetness lend themselves well to cooler weather and formal occasions.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and surprising longevity for an EDC make it versatile, though perhaps a bit too alluring for a conservative office. The rich amber and leather accords lend themselves perfectly to date nights and formal events, while its comforting warmth makes it a lovely casual choice.
