Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Base Orange EDP
If you're after a bold, fresh scent that stands out from the crowd, Base Orange might be your new go-to. It's a modern twist on spicy fruit, definitely not for those who prefer to blend in.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Opium Pour Homme EDP
A legendary, opulent elixir from a bygone era that still commands absolute adoration. It's a rich, spicy, semi-gourmand masterpiece, but buyer beware - the vintage EDP is the real star here; newer versions have dampened its beastly magic.
