Which Should You Buy?
This isn't your Nanna's Opium, but it still packs a punch for those who love a full-bodied oriental. Expect diviseness; some find it a gorgeous, nuanced beast, while others smell bug spray and regret. Not for sugar-sweet scent lovers.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong sillage and longevity, even for an EDT, make it less suitable for the office unless managed carefully. However, its sensual and sophisticated amber-oriental character is perfect for dates and evening events, embodying confidence without being overly casual.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
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.
