Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Library Collection Opus V Eau de Parfum
A divisive blend of regal iris and boozy oud that's either a masterful, long-lasting statement or a synthetic headache. Expect strong opinions, though a few sprays will ensure you make an unforgettable entrance.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Star Of The Season Eau de Parfum
Prepare for a delightful muddle. Star of the Season is a luxurious, creamy vanilla-sandalwood dream for most, but beware the elusive cumin note if your skin amplifies spices. This one is polarising; check the notes carefully and try before you buy.
