Optus VII
Fragrance notes
Character
Thyme and tarragon open Optus VII with a kitchen-garden sharpness that feels pulled straight from a clay pot on a cool evening patio. Pink pepper adds a brisk snap that keeps the herbs from settling into something sleepy. Costus enters with a warm, animalic breath that turns the green opening into something lived-in and slightly unwashed. Galbanum pushes back with a bitter, resinous edge that stops the heart from becoming too soft.
Leather and patchouli anchor the base with a dark, earthy weight that suits a dimly lit restaurant or a late walk under bare trees. The aromatic accord holds the herbs and spices together so the animalic facets never overwhelm the skin. It is a rugged composition that asks for a wearer who enjoys scents with a rough edge and a bit of attitude. Those who prefer clean, soapy finishes will find the costus and leather too forward for their taste. The overall impression is herbal, spicy, and unmistakably leather.
