What does Opus VII - Reckless Leather smell like?

It opens with pink pepper, cardamom, nutmeg and galbanum, a spicy and green start. In the heart oud, leather and patchouli come forward, and in the base frankincense and sandalwood lay a resinous, woody floor. The accords run green, spicy and woody, with leathery, smoky, earthy and animal tones weighing heavily.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen more often for evenings and nights out. Most voters find it masculine, though it is classed as unisex. Amouage Epic Man and Rania J. T. Habanero have a close profile.
