What do reviewers say about Louis and Opium Pour Homme?
Louis works because it never tries to convince you of anything. That cardamom freshness opens confident and cool, but the cumin-spice and iris drydown reveal something more interesting underneath.Louis
This one splits people immediately. That star anise opening is polarizing, and the galangal-black pepper heart does not play nice for the faint-hearted.Opium Pour Homme
