Scent Profile

Composition

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.

About

Opus opens with a bold burst of cinnamon and pepper, a spicy kick that quickly melds into a surprisingly smooth orange note. The heart unfolds with a luxurious bouquet of rose and ylang-ylang, adding a heady floral richness. As it settles, a warm and earthy base of patchouli and vanilla emerges, creating a long-lasting, enveloping aroma that's both comforting and exotic.
