Ahhh...A nice surprise in the Opus collection. This is reminiscent of L'artisan Perfumeur Fou D'Absinthe to me and that's a very good thing! Fresh with lavander and wormwood but well balanced, tiniest amount of smoked incense with spice from cardamom and a hint of cinnamon. It's really good...I love the opening...flip flopped a little about it...then decided it was nice again. Amouage for me are big occasion fragrances that would struggle to work as a regular scent...with some exceptions of course Jubilation XXV springs to mind. Opus II however is similar in that it's very wearable and for me although perfectly unisex does lean toward the masculine ever so slightly.
