Opus V – Woods Symphony
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A divisive blend of regal iris and boozy oud that's either a masterful, long-lasting statement or a synthetic headache. Expect strong opinions, though a few sprays will ensure you make an unforgettable entrance.
This one's a proper head-scratcher and polarising as they come. Many find Opus V lacks imagination, smells of bleach, or is just 'meh', but its few devotees hail it as a masterpiece of creamy orris and subtle woods. Definitely not a blind buy.
