Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Colonia Mirra EDT
This is a seriously polarising scent - some find it an overlooked masterpiece, a warm and inviting embrace, but others recoil from a cloying, synthetic mess. It's a proper grown-up fragrance, undeniably sophisticated and for those who know their mind.
Statement
Our Verdict - 138 Opiem For Her EDP
No. 138 follows the same spicy-oriental path as YSL's original Opium - carnation and myrrh over patchouli-amber-vanilla - but the resinous depth and animalic warmth of the icon are dialled back, leaving a lighter, sweeter impression.

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

Occasions

Best For:

Its warm, resinous character makes it too heavy for sport and a bit much for casual daytime wear. It's ideal for dates and formal events, though its moderate projection might make it acceptable for a sophisticated office environment if applied lightly.
