About

Opoponax by Les Néréides opens with a fleeting citrus spark before settling into a rich, powdery warmth. A complex amber heart, laced with balsamic opoponax and creamy vanilla, creates a sensual, slightly sweet, and woody olfactory experience. Benzoin adds a smooth, resinous depth, evoking an old-world charm that's both comforting and luxurious.
