Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Jean Lowe Matière
A divisive yet distinctive rose and oud combo. Some find it a masterpiece, others get rubber and burnt incense. Expect a heady floral opening that settles into a dark, earthy, and sometimes sweet dry-down. It's affordable, but recent rebrands might mean a different scent profile.
Favourite
Our Verdict - The Library Collection Opus X
Divisive, challenging, and utterly unique, Opus X is for those who dare to embrace the unusual. It’s a metallic rose for niche enthusiasts, not for the faint of heart or anyone seeking a crowd-pleaser.
