Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opus XII – Rose Incense Eau de Parfum
This is a challenging but ultimately rewarding take on rose, a love-it-or-hate-it affair that’s definitely not for everyone. It's a statement, not a crowd-pleaser, delivering a dark, intellectual twist on a classic floral.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Warda Cologne
A creamy, intense rose and oud that begs for attention. This isn't a shy scent; it's a bold-faced statement that some will adore and others will find a bit much.
