Opus Magnum captures the smoky, leathery tobacco character of Royal Tobacco fairly well, with a similar spiced opening and woody-amber base. However, the clone lacks the refined complexity and longevity of the original, with the oud note feeling less integrated and the overall composition appearing more linear throughout its wear time.
Opus Magnum has noticeably shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 8+ hours) and softer sillage compared to Royal Tobacco. The clone's tobacco note is more straightforward and less nuanced, missing some of the original's sophisticated leather and oud interplay.
What people who wear French Avenue Opus Magnum report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“Huge black licorice and shisa/nargile blast in the opening, not exactly harsh on the nose but very intense! In the drydown it gets smoother and a bit more resinous and ambery with a hint of smoky sweetness.In my opinion it's a very masculine leaning and somewhat challenging scent to pull off for most settings.On my skin the performance is nuclear! From the moment i spray it on (3 sprays) it can be smelled by anyone within 2 meters and easily fills a small room. Longevity is also great, easily lasts the entire day!Well worth the money if this kind of scent profile floats your boat.”
“You will either love or hate this one, period. It is a very polarising scent from the opening to the dry down. But if tobacco-spicy is your thing, then you are in for a treat. I have issues with its performance, though, so I will let it sit for a while and see what maceration does to its longevity and sillage.”
“This is an excellent clone for the price.Opus Magnum is not suited for the normal nose.If you want a niche fragrance, this would be an excellent recommendation for someone who likes the notes.Performance is nuclear without becoming unbearable. Another slept-on beast from French Avenue!”
