OPUS
Fragrance notes
Character
OPUS by Mad Parfumeur opens with a crisp apple note that sits beside cardamom and pepper. The lavender in the top layer adds a clean edge to the spice, keeping the fruit from feeling heavy. The first impression is fresh and green, with the pepper providing a slight bite that moves the scent away from a simple fruit opening.
In the heart, cedar takes a central role alongside lavender and iris. The cedar brings a dry woodiness that grounds the earlier spice, while the iris adds a powdery texture. The accord remains woody and warm spicy, with the fresh spicy element from the top notes carrying through. The transition feels smooth as the green freshness recedes and the wood becomes more prominent.
The base of patchouli and amber settles the fragrance into a deep, woody finish. The amber adds a warm resinous quality to the earthy patchouli, creating a rich foundation that suits a dimly lit room and a quiet evening. The scent stays within its woody and spicy boundaries, offering a straightforward path from the initial fruit and pepper through the cedar and into the resinous closing notes.
