What do reviewers say about Opus Magnum and Gretel?
This isn't a safe bet. Opus Magnum projects hard and smells powerful, the kind of scent that fills a room before you've finished walking into it. Ideal for cold months, evenings, anyone who wants.Opus Magnum
The fairy tale works because it ends wrong. That's this fragrance too: starts sweet enough to eat, finishes with smoke in your clothes. If you want a gingerbread that plays nice, look elsewhere.Gretel
