Which Should You Buy?
A legendary scent that still delivers incredible impact. Vintage Opium is a divisive powerhouse, eliciting passionate love or strong dislike. Not for the faint-hearted, it’s a bold statement that demands attention.
Divisive and bold, New York Amber is a beast of a scent that some adore for its rich, oriental character and others reject as synthetic and overwhelming. Be warned: it's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, with monstrous projection and longevity.
