Created in 2005, Opus 1870 is a complex and elegant woody chypre. Opening with a luxurious accord of sweet citrus and fiery black pepper, the heart is lit by the delicacy of English Clove Rose and evocative incense. The base notes are glorious, smoky waves of aromatic cedarwood and sandalwood. Opus 1870 is wonderfully warm and comforting, a fragrance to wrap yourself in on cold winter nights.
Top notes: Yuzu, Black Pepper and Coriander
Heart notes: Clove, Sandalwood and Incense
Base notes: Cedarwood, Australian Sandalwood, Woody Notes and Musk

Opus 1870
This your second request for my review of two fragrances purchased, both without previous experience. I was reticent to give a review because I knew it wouldn’t be particularly positive.
I chose Penhaligon’s Opus 1870 based on its profile in the product description. I’m not entirely disappointed with it. But it seems more like a cologne than a perfume. I’d also bought the Penhaligon’s trial collection, for which my reaction was similar. I found some of the scents pleasant, but just that; they seemed to me to be scent or cologne, & not really perfume. I’d recommend with that reservation.
