French Avenue Opus Magnum is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025.

Opus Magnum is a bold, challenging beast of a fragrance. Prepare for nuclear performance and a divisive, ultra-masculine tobacco-spice bomb. Not a blind buy, but if it clicks, it's a treasure that punches way above its weight.

About

This one hits hard with a blast of fresh, pungent basil and cardamom, quickly deepened by smoky incense. The heart unfolds into a rich, wet tobacco, given an intriguing complexity by fenugreek and a hint of calming lavender. It dries down to a commanding base of dark oud, warm amber, and sweet balsam, enveloped by creamy tonka bean. It's a journey from sharp spice to a deep, resonant, smoky sweetness.
