“The best iris perfume i ever smelled is prada infusion d'iris. Still praise it for being well blended.Opus V however smells raw and straight forward in a niche way. I still prefer prada IdIris over this.But the sillage & lastingness is monster contra to prada. Very pleasant and office safe too.I just need more of its potential to justify its asking price. Opus V could be better.”
“FANTASTIC.. Simply fantastic I know my oud and this is far from a potent oud aroma, very European not Asian at all, very beautiful, very long lasting and smells of sugar cane again and again.. Beautiful & fantastic if you like sweet smells and can afford the price of sheer luxury get it..A short update five days after spraying this fantastic EDP on my neck some of it must have landed on my jacket and I can still smell the aroma like it was put on yesterday.. serious longevity..”
“Very good, even amazing scent! I like the bitter start most. Having just tried and even bought The British Bouquet by Atkinsons, I thought that they are very similar. Comparing them hand by hand at the same time, it turned out that BB is sweeter kind and Opus V is more bitter or oudy, I don't really know what that note is that makes the difference. But they both have a similar base, BB disappearing quicker.”

Sillage
The original Opus V has superior longevity and a creamier ambroxan finish that the clone struggles to replicate fully. Dua's version is brighter and slightly more linear, missing some of the original's nuanced floral complexity and warmth in the dry-down.
