Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Library Collection Opus IX EDP
Divisive, dramatic, and unapologetically animalic. This isn't for the faint-hearted; it's a bold, indolic jasmine bomb that demands attention and polarises opinions, but those who love it, really love it. A true niche statement.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Persephone Extrait
Persephone is a divisive, full-bodied animalic floral that some find incredibly sensual, while others are simply bewildered. It's a powerhouse, a confident blast from the past for those who dare, but absolutely not for the faint of heart.
