Our verdict on The Library Collection Opus V: Acquired

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.

About

Opus V opens with a rich, powdery hit of orris and a surprisingly gentle rum note. As it settles, a floral heart of iris, rose, and jasmine emerges, wrapped in an earthy, woody embrace. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of soft oud and musky undertones, creating a luxurious and complex olfactory experience.
