Which Should You Buy?
A quintessential British spicy-woody, Opus 1870 is refined yet quietly charismatic, balancing peppery freshness with smoky woods and a soft rose. Reserved, contemplative, and always dignified.
This one's a divisive modern woody-spicy. Some reckon it's a solid, longer-lasting twist on classic Egoiste or Ombré Nomade; others find it uninspired and dusty. Don't go in expecting a revolution, but it might just hit the spot if you're after something familiar with a bit more punch.
