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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Incensi EDP
This one is a proper head-scratcher and not for the faint-hearted. It opens with a brutal green punch that divides opinion sharply, morphing into a complex, warm, balsamic incense that some hail as king, while others deem it too medicinal or overly sweet. You'll either adore its unique journey or scrub it off in disdain.

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.

Incensi

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent initial green notes might be a bit much for a conservative office, but its sophisticated dry-down shines in formal settings or on a date. It's a complex, long-lasting scent, making it less suitable for casual or sport activities.
