What does Opus Magnum smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, close to eight out of ten, though the number of votes is small. It is classed as masculine, and its dense build suits cooler weather best.

The top pairs bergamot and basil for a green, spicy start, with frankincense and cardamom adding resinous depth. In the heart, lavender, fenugreek and tobacco push the scent towards smoky and leathery. The base of oud, Peru balsam, tonka bean and amber dries down woody and oriental, with a warm finish.
