What does Opus V - Woods Symphony smell like?

The top pairs orris absolute with rum, while rose, jasmine and orris root concrete in the heart give it a floral, powdery core. The base brings oud, dry woods and civet, adding a sweet, resinous and animal warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and is chosen less often for the office. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine. Chanel Coco (Eau de Parfum) and Hind Al Oud Pink Musk have a close profile.
