Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opus XV King Blue EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a challenging, animalic oud opening that demands patience, but stick with it and you'll be rewarded with a rich, fruity-amber dry down that many consider a masterpiece. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, but seriously addictive for the initiated.

Our Verdict - Rose Supercritique EDP
This one is a real Marmite. Some rave about its gentle, modern rose, others can't see past the 'old lady' vibe. You'll either adore its sweet, powdery charm or think it's straight out of your nan's bathroom cabinet.

Season and Occasion Fit

Opus XV King Blue

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With beast-mode performance and a highly polarising opening, this fragrance is far too loud and challenging for an office environment. It shines on a date or for formal events where its unique character can truly make a statement, but only once the initial challenging notes have dissipated.

Rose Supercritique

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its gentle, transparent character and subtle sillage make it suitable for office and casual wear without being overpowering. While lovely for a romantic date, its slight elegance might be out of place for very formal events and it's certainly not a sport scent.
