Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Library Collection Opus I
A divisive, opulent floral beast that demands patience. The opening might try your nose, but if you stick with it, Opus I unfolds into a complex, woody-floral masterpiece for some, a cloying mess for others. Definitely not a blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Niche Royal Rouge
This one's a wild ride. Expect a sharp, boozy start that softens into a creamy, powerful floral. Maison Alhambra Niche Royal Rouge is a divisive scent that will definitely get you noticed, especially after a good maceration period. Best for bold wearers who enjoy a strong, woody-floral statement.
