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.
