Opus Kore
Opus Kore by Vilhelm Parfumerie is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with lemon and red berries, moves into raspberry, magnolia and violet and dries down to sandalwood, musk and amber. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Red Berries Generic jammy berry blend. Bright, sweet and crowd-pleasing.
Heart
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
- Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
