Star Of The Season EDP

Which Should You Buy?
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.
Prepare for a delightful muddle. Star of the Season is a luxurious, creamy vanilla-sandalwood dream for most, but beware the elusive cumin note if your skin amplifies spices. This one is polarising; check the notes carefully and try before you buy.
