Our verdict on Opus: Acquired

A modern homage to classic oriental perfumery, this one's a divisive delight. Expect a complex journey from bright citrus to a vanilla-drenched, powdery dream. Some say it's a masterpiece; others find it a cloying 'baby powder bomb.'

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, noted by many reviewers, make it less suitable for the office. However, its sophisticated and luxurious character, paired with its comforting warmth, makes it ideal for dates and formal occasions. It's also versatile enough for casual wear if applied lightly.

About

Opus opens with a vibrant, almost tart citrus blast of bergamot and mandarin, quickly softened by the warm, resinous spice of elemi. The heart introduces a plush, powdery iris and delicate orchid, cushioned by smooth cashmere wood. The true magic unfolds in the dry down, a rich blend of creamy vanilla, ambergris, and benzoin, with subtle hints of soft leather and sandalwood adding depth and luxury.
