Which Should You Buy?
This one is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, Opus XIV is a masterpiece. Forget your typical sweet tobaccos - this is a bold, complex, and unashamedly powerful scent for confident individuals who aren't afraid to stand out. It's not for the faint of heart.
This one's proper divisive, a true love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Forget blind buys, you absolutely need to get your nose on Decibel before committing, because what some call unique and mesmerising, others call 'disgusting' and 'church-like'.

Occasions
Decibel's strong sillage and warm, smoky, unique accords make it unsuitable for most office environments, but great for a night out or a casual evening gathering. Its distinctive character aligns well with date nights in cooler weather.
