Roman V captures the bright citrus opening and creamy woody base of Opus V quite competently, with strong fidelity to the original's structure. The heart notes diverge slightly with geranium taking more prominence over iris, creating a marginally greener, less refined floral character. Overall longevity and sillage fall slightly short of the designer original, though the clone performs well for its price point.
The heart notes lean slightly greener due to geranium emphasis rather than iris prominence. Longevity and sillage are noticeably lighter than Opus V, lasting approximately 6-7 hours versus 8-10 hours on skin.
