Which Should You Buy?
This one is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, Opus XIV is a masterpiece. Forget your typical sweet tobaccos - this is a bold, complex, and unashamedly powerful scent for confident individuals who aren't afraid to stand out. It's not for the faint of heart.
No. 390 mirrors Mugler's Alien Man closely in structure - lavender-anise top, leather-cashmeran heart, white amber base - but the leather is softer and less resinous, so the polarising, provocative edge people either love or hate about the original is dialled well back here.
