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.

Our Verdict - Bois Mystique Eau de Parfum

A seriously sophisticated woody-spicy fragrance that's a dead ringer for Creed Royal Oud for many, though its subtle projection means Houbigant has nailed 'quiet luxury' with this one. Some find the performance lacklustre, but the scent itself is pretty much universally adored.
