About

Opus X smacks you with a vivid, crimson rose, not soft or dewy, but sharp and almost industrial. This isn't a walk in grandma's garden; it's a rose found in a sculptor's studio, mingling with metallic shavings and the ghost of fresh varnish. Geranium adds a green, slightly tart edge, while the base grounds it with hints of worn leather, mineral facets, and a whisper of smoky oud, creating a compellingly strange beauty.
