OPUS XII – ROSE INCENSE

Opus XII, Rose Incense opens with an intriguing blend of ink, elemi, and olibanum, creating an intense yet sophisticated introduction that sets the stage for what’s to come. As it evolves, the heart reveals a sumptuous Damask rose intertwined with the rich, resinous qualities of olibanum, bringing a depth that is both floral and mystical. The dry down is where Opus XII truly shines, grounding itself in a warm base of vanilla, cedar, myrrh, and sandalwood, crafting a comforting yet enigmatic finish that lingers on the skin. This unisex fragrance is best suited for fall and winter, making it an excellent choice for both daytime wear and evening occasions. With its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, Opus XII, Rose Incense offers versatility while maintaining a sense of presence. It stands out in the realm of contemporary fragrances, skillfully balancing the warmth of amber and woodiness with the elegance of rose. For those who appreciate a fragrance that challenges the conventional while remaining wearable, this scent is a worthy addition to your collection, comparable to the likes of Diptyque's Philosykos but with a more pronounced depth.

Opus XII – Rose Incense opens on olibanum and ink before easing into a damask rose and olibanum heart. Myrrh, sandalwood, and vanilla carry the base, which is where the wear ultimately lives. Expect a reasonable, well-behaved wear, not a beast, not a whisper. Hits hardest across fall and winter at any hour. The 4.2-star rating with 5,066 voters behind it makes a blind buy defensible.
