What does Opus X smell like?

It opens on rose, rose oxide and rosebud, with geranium and varnish adding a cool, synthetic sheen. Leather leads the heart, while metallic notes, ylang-ylang, ambrarome and Laotian oud build a spicy, woody, resinous base.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter close behind, and it is linked mostly to evenings and nights out. Votes split fairly evenly between feminine and masculine, so it sits between the two. It has been discontinued. Mancera Black Line and Hermetica Verticaloud have a close profile.
