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.
A truly gorgeous, comforting amber that's not afraid of a bit of spice and a fresh aromatic kick. It's divisive only because some say its performance is poor, but the scent itself is a hug in a bottle.
