What does Opus VI smell like?

The opening is sharp with pepper and laurel, with frankincense adding a resinous edge. In the heart, silk vine, nagarmotha and patchouli lay down an earthy base. In the base, sandalwood and gum rockrose bring sweetness and woody warmth, and an oriental, smoky side runs through it.

Voters find its longevity very strong and its sillage strong. Most pick fall and winter, and evening or a night out. Most voters read it as masculine, though a sizeable group finds it feminine. Profumum Roma Patchouly and Versace Versace pour Homme Oud Noir have a close profile.
