Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Opus 1870 Eau de Toilette
A quintessential British spicy-woody, Opus 1870 is refined yet quietly charismatic, balancing peppery freshness with smoky woods and a soft rose. Reserved, contemplative, and always dignified.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Lagos Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Dior Fahrenheit (1988) - mandarin orange, violet and leather translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
