Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opium Collector's Edition 2013 EDP
This Collector's Edition of Opium brings all the spicy, resinous drama of the original, with a touch more freshness for good measure. Fans of the classic will find it comfortingly familiar yet distinctly potent.
Acquired
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Opium Collector's Edition 2013

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its powerful and long-lasting spicy-amber profile makes it too intense for the office or casual daywear. This is best reserved for evenings out, where its heady projection can truly shine on a date or at a formal event.

Colonia Mirra

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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.
