Opus VII

“Do not believe anyone until you try this scent on your skin. I was expecting a dark green monster. Rubbish. It's green but the spices take control at the dry down. It's quite safe after the initial opening, it has nice longevity -but it's not a monster- with enough sillage and projection.All I get is dominant dandelion, dusty-rooty galbanum, some mild spices like cumin, nutmeg, white pepper and faint cardamom. Cypriol is quite tamed and safe. If you want a monster cypriol note try the Emerald by Bond No 9 house.Nice scent but quite mediocre for this house.”

“A very dark green scent. Different stages.One of the best dry downs. Opening littledifficult to manage but the remaining partis a different story. Its one of thosescents which you either love or hateFour hours after spraying I got unexpectedcompliments. It certainly has a great woodsydrydown.”

“When I first sampled this, I thought it was horrid. It smelled like spicy body odor to me. However, I keep samples on my desk and every so often, I'll pick one up and just try it again.Well, I tried it again and again and again and finally, it grew on me. Now, I've gone to an opening I hated to an opening I love. The drydown is very nice but the projection suffers a bit afterward, unless it's just me who has trouble smelling it.If you like this fragrance but would prefer something lighter, Puredistance M has an amazing resemblence to it.”
