By the editors · 2 min readOpoponax opens with a resinous and slightly medicinal warmth, immediately grounded by galbanum's sharp green bitterness. Narcissus emerges as the heart, its narcotic floralcy weaving through the initial resinous-green tension with a narcotic and earthy richness. Sandalwood provides a creamy woody base that softens the composition, while oakmoss and patchouli lend a dry, mossy earthiness to the dry-down. The scent evolves from a bold aromatic opening to a more intimate, skin-hugging floral-woody character over several hours. Projection remains moderate initially but settles close to the skin, offering good longevity for cooler weather evenings. Its complex green-floral structure suits autumn and winter occasions where its depth can be appreciated fully.
