Filippo Sorcinelli Opus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Opus opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Jasmine, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Iris, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Filippo Sorcinelli's Opus carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

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.'

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

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.
