Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lunatique EDP
Lunatique is a truly divisive scent; a cold, metallic leather with an otherworldly vibe that you'll either adore for its uniqueness or absolutely despise for its harsh, industrial edge. Not for the faint-hearted.
Statement
Our Verdict - Alexandria Orientale EDP
This one is a properly divisive beast. Alexandria Orientale promises a rich, complex oud but delivers a challenging opening that will either turn heads or turn stomachs. Not for the faint-hearted, it’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little room for indifference.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lunatique

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent, unique profile and strong sillage mean Lunatique is too assertive for the office. It thrives in formal and date settings where its mysterious, bold character can make a lasting impression. Less suitable for casual wear due to its intensity and distinctiveness.

Alexandria Orientale

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its enormous longevity and projection, this is entirely unsuitable for an office environment, where it would overwhelm. It shines brightest at formal events or on a sophisticated date night, where its strength and unique character can be appreciated.
