Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its overwhelming strength and divisive nature make it completely unsuitable for the office or casual wear. It leans towards formal or special occasions where its unique, bold character can be appreciated without causing offence, particularly in colder seasons given its heavy composition.

About

Opus VII kicks off with a bold, spicy-green blast, dominated by galbanum and cypriol oil, creating an intense, almost camphor-like opening. As it settles, a rich, dark leather note emerges, intertwined with warm, earthy spices. The dry-down mellows into a woody amber blend, retaining a smoky, resinous depth that lingers for ages. It's a journey from sharp verdancy to a deep, complex leather and wood, with a persistent fresh-spicy hum.
