Reading Opus IV, Chapter by Chapter
Chapter One: Citrus and Coriander
Lemon, mandarin and grapefruit open sharp and juicy, with coriander adding an herbal, slightly peppery lift.
Chapter Two: Cumin, Cardamom and Rose
Elemi, cardamom and cumin bring warm, savoury spice, while rose, rose berries and violet leaf add a soft floral note.
Chapter Three: Labdanum, Frankincense and Musk
Labdanum, frankincense and musk finish dense, resinous and slightly sweet.
A Warm, Resinous and Divisive Character
Expect a warm, spicy, resinous scent with a bright citrus start. Beneath the spice, labdanum and musk keep it rounded rather than sharp. The cumin gives it a savoury edge that some love and others find too strong, which is exactly why a sample helps.
A Sample Reader’s Guide
Start with 1ml for a first impression, or 5ml to wear it a few times, since cumin can surprise on first spray. Move up to 10ml if you want to test it across different weather. Apply to clean skin and give it several hours to settle into the resins. Opus IV suits autumn and winter and, depending on skin chemistry, its resinous base is generally expected to last several hours.
Who Should Pick This Chapter
Try it if you enjoy spicy, resinous, incense-tinged scents and want something bold and distinctive. Skip it if you prefer light, clean or sweet gourmand fragrances.
