Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive enigma. Some rave about its fresh, fruity sophistication, calling it a summer BR540. Others recoil from a 'plastic' or 'chemical' note, leaving it a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Try it first, then decide if it's your kind of magic or just a headache waiting to happen.
A modern fruity-floral that's getting serious buzz as a Greenwich Village clone, Opus Grande is either a delicious, easy-reach summer staple or something akin to a mall toilet freshener. Love it or hate it, there's no denying its personality.
