Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opus 1870
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 - Crysta Oud
This one's a proper dark horse. Crysta Oud takes a classic rose-oud combo and gives it a modern twist that manages to be both familiar and surprising. It's a challenging wear for some, a hidden gem for others, but rarely boring.

Season and Occasion Fit

Opus 1870

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

The spicy woods and smoky incense make it ideal for cool spring and especially autumn days, while the moderate weight and citrus opening keep it wearable in winter or a fresh summer evening.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its refined spicy-woody character is versatile and understated enough for office and formal settings, with just enough warmth and complexity for dates or casual wear. The low projection keeps it discreet, not suited for sport.

Crysta Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and significant longevity, this scent is a bit too much for the office. It truly shines for dates and formal events, reflecting its sophisticated and bold character, while being a bit too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.
