Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opus VII Reckless Leather EDP
Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it punch to the senses. This one's an acquired taste, divisive as they come, and unapologetically bold. If you can handle the intensity, you're in for a complex, masterful journey.

Our Verdict - Untethered EDP
Untethered is Alexandria UK's take on Tom Ford Ombre Leather - a spicy cardamom-leather built around the same DNA. It trades the original's soft, jasmine-tempered polish for a louder, flatter opening and roughly half the six-hour skin life, but it nails the leather-amber core at a fraction of the cost.

Date

With its powerful projection and challenging, heavy spice and animalic accords, this is utterly unsuitable for an office or casual daytime wear. It's best reserved for formal evening occasions or intimate date nights where its luxurious and bold nature can shine without overwhelming.
