Opinion For Men

Being as much visually oriented as I am olfactorily, this bottle was just irresistible as I continued to encounter it on my quest for lesser-known releases from the past. I had to take the plunge and blind buy it, and I certainly was more than pleased with the result, as this carries so many elements that draw me in. It opens with aldehydic citrus, honey, and spices, but what's outstanding is this animalic leather and musk overarching the composition from the start. It's a captivating hook, and persists as the aldehydes fade out and there is a more musty, dusty, tobacco and dry woods enter the picture, with the animalic undercurrent enduring and sensuous. If I could compare Opinion, it would be sort of in between the aromatic spiciness of Equipage and the animalic, honeyed original Boss (No. 1). However, the dry down is unique to Opinion as far as my nose can discern, as it reaches this level of sensuality that isn't quite evident in either of the above. This is mythic, virile masculinity tempered with a bit of sweetness, a metaphor, if you will. Thumbs up!

Thanks Fragrantica for the adds!I bought 10 ml decant,because it's powerful,masculine stuff.almost erotic...Spices,honey and the musky leather with tobacco notes.Opinion is a strong,romantic,full of mistery and definitely a mirror of his era.It reminds me Hugo Boss No1,TL Pour Homme and PR Tenere.Good job HANORAH!

Nice adds. Hanorah also have a female fragrance named Hanorable which I own. And more others from 60s and more recents.
