Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Belle d'Opium EDP
A tragically discontinued masterpiece, Belle d'Opium is a uniquely seductive, smoky white floral that consistently garners compliments. It stands miles apart from its 'Opium' family, a true shame it was ever pulled from shelves.
Statement
Our Verdict - Niche Royal Rouge EDP
This one's a wild ride. Expect a sharp, boozy start that softens into a creamy, powerful floral. Maison Alhambra Niche Royal Rouge is a divisive scent that will definitely get you noticed, especially after a good maceration period. Best for bold wearers who enjoy a strong, woody-floral statement.
