".......A dialogue between reality and illusion."  You have to try this eighth addition in the Library collection to believe it!

Opus VIII is a warm weather masterpiece! The notes listed above are all present. The quality is top shelf. This parfum glides effortlessly from first mist onto the skin to the dry down. Green, clean and wet in the top notes. Followed by soft powdery, yet clean florals. Moving gracefully into the heart, I nearly didn't notice. Soft leathery notes appeared with woody, earthy scents. Silver Frankincense slid into the composition incense, smooth and creamy. Moving effortlessly along, gaiac wood with hints of vanilla warm on the skin and it is ready now for the base notes. Warm and sweet balsam with benzoin adding a little more vanilla to warm and spicy Jamaican Bay.

Opus VIII is both Masculine and Feminine. Sweet and dry. Light and Dark. Floral, spicy and woody. Two fragrances layered on top of each other. Together yet, apart.

Perfumers Pierre Nigren and Richard Herpin worked under the direction of Christopher Chong to create this Eau de Parfum. it is meant to be juxtaposing layers, light hitting a crystal with those flashes of color shooting out. It was created with the parfum connoisseur in mind, regardless of age or gender.

My second trial of this magnificent parfum was different from the first trial. It was spicy, moist and woody. It changes ever so slightly with your body chemistry. However on my skin, it is most times as the first trial. I love this latest edition in the Library Collection. For me it is as if I have two fragrances in one bottle and possibly a third. At the end of my testing, I found it to be wonderful for all seasons, occasions and time of the day or night. Be prepared for the many compliments you will receive while wearing it. Opus VIII is so magnetic that strangers and friends alike will forget themselves and lean toward you to breathe deep, explaining that they cannot help themselves because you smell wonderful.

Try Opus VIII and enjoy this wonderful masterpiece for yourself. Then breathe deeply the multiple facets of you!
