Vilhelm Parfumerie Opus Kore is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Jérôme Epinette. Opus Kore opens with Berries and Lemon, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, Magnolia, and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Vilhelm Parfumerie's Opus Kore carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A divisive scent for the price-conscious. Many will find Opus Kore a delightful, sparkling fruity-floral shampoo vibe, but others will sniff out expensive mediocrity. It's a fresh, easy-going warm-weather champion, but don't expect groundbreaking artistry.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its clean, fresh, and moderately projecting profile makes it excellent for casual wear or the office. It's a bit too light for formal events and lovely for a daytime date, though not overtly romantic. The 'shampoo' vibe lends itself well to active, sporty contexts.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opus Kore opens with a zingy burst of Sicilian lemon and tart berries, reminiscent of a sophisticated fruit cordial. As it settles, delicate magnolia and airy violet leaf emerge, lending a clean, almost 'shampoo-like' floral heart. The drydown rests on a soft base of creamy sandalwood, subtle amber, and a whisper of musk, leaving a refined, fresh impression without losing its bright beginning.
