Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Belle d'Opium Eau de Parfum
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 - The Artist No.1 Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a 'generational wealth' rose-patchouli masterpiece; for others, it's straight-up dill pickle juice. Try before you buy, but expect compliments if it works for you.
