Which Should You Buy?
A 'summer Opium' that keeps the original's recognisable charm but dials down the intensity. It's a crowd-pleaser that manages to be both familiar and fresher, making it an excellent warm-weather oriental. An underrated classic that gets plenty of love once discovered.
Essentiel combines modern freshness with classic sophistication, making it an excellent choice for the confident, contemporary man.
