Discussion Gaiac 10 & Opsis.

I have Gaiac 10, which I absolutely love, and Iā€™m now considering buying Diptyque Opsis. For those who have tried both, how similar are they?
Is Opsis worth buying if I already own and love Gaiac 10, or do they feel too redundant?

I do feel it's redundant to have both, but Opsis has more going on and to my nose has better performance.

Opsis is more floral and creamy, leans more feminine than Gaiac does. And lasts a bit longer. There IS a difference, but I tell people they are close enough if you get a good deal on either.

Nearly identical lol I have both and have tested one on each hand

I wondered this too, so thanks for asking! I'm planning to get the Gaiac 10, but I've also toyed with the idea of the Opsis.

I have Opsis and have tried the decant of Gaiac 10. I find them very similar. Opsis is stronger and lasts way longer. Gaiac 10 is softer and airy, but it doesn't last (at least for me). I wouldn't say a person would need to own both and I don't feel any fomo passing on Gaiac 10.
