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 - 1000 Kisses EDP
Prepare for a marmite experience: 1000 Kisses Deep is either a beguiling, complex amber-citrus masterpiece or a fleeting, soapy disappointment. Its unique character divides opinion sharply, largely due to its elusive performance.

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.

1000 Kisses

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

The amber and resinous accords lend themselves to evening and cooler weather occasions, making it suitable for dates and sophisticated casual wear. Its perceived low longevity and sillage by many reviewers mean it's less ideal for formal settings where projection is key, and it's certainly not a sports scent.
