Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.
