Penhaligon's - Opus 1870

The word Opus is derived from Latin and means "masterpiece." Created in 2005 to celebrate 135 years of great success, Opus 1870 is an elegant and complex woody chypre. It opens with a luxurious accord of sweet citrus and burning black pepper; the heart is illuminated by the delicacy of clove, English rose, and evocative frankincense. The base notes are glorious, waves of aromatic smoky cedarwood and sandalwood. Opus 1870 is wonderfully warm and comforting, a fragrance to wrap yourself in during cold winter nights. The fragrance is a message that marries tradition with the contemporary, for a modern person with traditional values.
