Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Luna Parfum
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Shalimar EDC
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

Luna

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

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.

Shalimar

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

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.
