Opus VII Reckless Leather is a spicy, woody, aromatic scent created for Men and Women in 2022 by perfumers Alberto Morillas and Pierre Negrin.
Review
This scent is rich in spices, leather and woods. It is almost green in its earthy quality. Leather, spices, peppers, woods and Ambers blend together to create a scent that is reminiscent of the original Opus VII, but also something new. It might be a little too rich for the workplace, but will work for just about any time, place, setting, or occasion in the colder months. This is a scent that will last. It is comparable to the Amouage Opus VII created in 2013 by the same perfumers. Try this sample and let us know what you think!
Inspiration
Opus VII Reckless Leather evokes the conflict that comes from reconciling your past inorder to pursue your future. It is the calm within the chaos and the chaos within the calm.
Notes
This scent begins with the spices of Pink Pepper, Cardamom and Nutmeg blended with the herbal quality of Fenugreek and the earthy resinous essence of Galbanum. Patchouli takes this earthy quality a step further in the heart, as this scent becomes deeper with Leather and Agarwood Smoke. Ambox and Ambergris create a smoothness that transitions effortlessly into a warm base of Sandalwood, Muscone, and Cypriol. Olibanum brings back a resinous quality as this scent dries down, and Costus Root plays nicely off of the herbs and spices at the beginning.
