What does Opus XV - King Blue smell like?
It wears strong, with very strong longevity and a clear trail. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evening and night-out wear. Voters read it as more masculine, though it is classed as unisex.
The top opens fruity and spicy with blackcurrant, mandarin orange and pink pepper. Amber and frankincense add a resinous warmth in the heart. The base of leather, oak wood, sandalwood, Assam oud and patchouli settles it into a smoky, woody, animalic character. Louis Vuitton Nouveau Monde and Estēe Lauder Amber Mystique have a close profile.
