Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Library Collection Opus VI Eau de Parfum

A powerhouse amber that's either a magnificent, opulent journey or an overpowering, spicy onslaught. Love it or hate it, its discontinuation has only amplified its legendary status and the demand for this 'holy grail' scent.

Our Verdict - Sacreste Eau de Parfum

Sacreste is a divisive beast: an unapologetically 'churchy' incense, for some it's a nostalgic spiritual journey, for others, it's a flat, sour, or even synthetic mess that conjures images of burnt sofas. Test before you commit, because this ain't for everyone.
