Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Library Collection Opus VII Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions like no other. It’s an aggressive, dark green beast that’s definitely not for the faint-hearted. Prepare for a full-on olfactory assault that demands a certain kind of wearer.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Optus VII Eau de Parfum
This is a gutsy, niche-style scent with a surprising refinement for the price. It's not a crowd-pleaser and some find it challenging, but for those who appreciate a bold, mysterious leather, it's a real gem.
