Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cafe
Cafe is a divisive little number. Some adore its vintage spice as a lighter, more wearable Opium twin, while others find it a cheap, fleeting disappointment. Approach with caution and an open mind.
Statement
Our Verdict - Havana Cologne
Light, bright and tropical without being sickly sweet, Havana is a warm, spicy hug that projects serious holiday vibes. A modern twist from a classic house, it's pretty versatile and a solid crowd-pleaser.
