Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opus V Woods Symphony EDP
This one's a proper head-scratcher and polarising as they come. Many find Opus V lacks imagination, smells of bleach, or is just 'meh', but its few devotees hail it as a masterpiece of creamy orris and subtle woods. Definitely not a blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Le Parfait Panache EDP
This is a solid, budget-friendly alternative to pricier designer scents. It's a classy, versatile performer that punches well above its weight, even if it won't blow anyone's mind with originality.
