Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Library Collection Opus IX
Divisive, dramatic, and unapologetically animalic. This isn't for the faint-hearted; it's a bold, indolic jasmine bomb that demands attention and polarises opinions, but those who love it, really love it. A true niche statement.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Amiri Collection
This one's a proper beast - luxurious and potent, but it's probably not for the faint-hearted. It demands respect, so wear it where it can truly shine and project its serious intent.
