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 - Oudain Eau de Parfum
Prepare for a wild ride with Oudain: a divisive, love-it-or-hate-it scent that some call a masterpiece and others, a barnyard. It's not for the faint-hearted, but if you're brave enough to macerate, you might just unlock its seductive, niche-level charm.
