Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Queen of Silk EDP
This is a bold, divisive take on opulence - some adore its regal, head-turning presence, others find it overwhelmingly 'old-fashioned' or headache-inducing. Approach with caution, but if it clicks, it truly reigns.

Our Verdict - Philos Opus Noir EDP
This one's a proper Gothic romance in a bottle - sophisticated, dark, and sensual, but definitely not for everyone. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent profile, divisive and intriguing in equal measure, with some even reporting adverse skin reactions. Proceed with caution, but if it works for you, it's a steal.

Season and Occasion Fit

Queen of Silk

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and intense, complex character make it unsuitable for office wear, where it would overwhelm. This is a scent for making an entrance, perfectly suited for dates and formal events, particularly in cooler weather, where its warmth and depth can truly shine.

Philos Opus Noir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and dark, complex profile, this perfume isn't suited for office wear, but perfect for formal events or a romantic date. Its distinctive 'gothic' character, as many reviews highlight, makes it too specific for casual daily use.
