Modelled profile
Orris in both absolute and concrete gives a cool, buttery iris that rum warms with a boozy lift, while civet and dry woods add a low animalic hum. Rooty and refined, it balances powdery restraint against a quiet muskiness.

Opus 5 carries sweetness without letting it define the scent.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
