Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opus VII – Reckless Leather
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Vachetta
Vachetta is a 'love it or hate it' affair. Some adore its subtle spice and leather, while others find it a fleeting disappointment. If you're after a loud, room-filling scent, this probably isn't for you. But if quiet confidence is your game, proceed with caution.
