The 3 worth trying, ranked
Similarity is the owners' vote plus the note overlap. Price is a typical US bottle price when the house publishes one. Bars are each match's own accords.
Where it differs: Touch for Men is softer and more powdery with tonka, and lacks the incense, cinnamon and yuzu sparkle that give Opus 1870 its brighter, spicier edge.
Where it differs: Equus adds a noticeable leather accord and juniper, so it smells darker and more leathery than Opus 1870's clean pepper, cedar and soft incense.
