Opus Kore

This is my signature. Yes, I know it is expensive, I got it as a gift after eyeing it for about a year. Though, nothing else I’ve tried smells similar and trust me I’ve tried for a YEAR to find a dupe. My bottle is very strong but when I had a sample it seemed weak though I might’ve been nose blind after some time. So perhaps it had macerated? I’m going to wear this when I study abroad in italy for sure for the scent memories. This is fairies with little dresses made of flowers dancing under the starlight, rain drizzled meadows, babbling brooks rushing next to your feet, river mermaids resting along the shoreline. It’s floral but not in a pungent way. It’s aquatic and fruity in the most refreshing way possible. Spring versus fall wearing this is a different experience. It’s very floral in spring and very aquatic in the fall. Opus Kore -> Persephone and as someone who was always intrigued by the goddess I have to say it very much is fitting to at least what I imagine. Lots of people have said it’s pungent, I’m not sure why though? I haven’t picked that up at all. It is very much a friendly intro into Niche perfumes and I think will generally be a people pleaser, but not a safe blind buy, especially for the price. This is my signature for summer and fall. This makes me think of Lady Amalthea when she is human along with Raine from Pixie Hollow. The aquatic florals both remind me of them so much and feel quite suitable

Beautiful! a very romantic and delicate perfume. The opening is sweet and dreamy, the acai note is strong but in a perfect way, this transported me to a sunny day in a lake, when spring is dying and summer is starting to show up, very fresh and uplifting. I have to admit that for a Vilhelm fragrance this is a little bit in the linear side, but I still can see this is not a common perfume. I can wear this all year maybe more on the spring and summer, but I do not think this would be out of place on fall, because the dry down is still very musky and ambery. I love this, I would finish the sample and decide if I want a big bottle, but I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a romantic and bright scent.

I recieved a sample of this with a recent order and am in love with it. It will definitely be my next purchase as I just can't stop sniffing on the sample bottle! It's so interesting how people experience fragrances differently. This doesn't smell sour to me at all! And brash is the opposite of how I would describe it. To me, this is all round gentle. Gently floral, gently fruit, gently woody and musky. It's just perfectly balanced. It is moderately long lasting with good silage. This fragrance leans feminine to me. It is perfect for daytime wear and it is unobtrusive. Very good for work but also beautiful for summer evenings.

This takes me back to high school when I wore PAC Sun Nollie (the green circle silicone bottle) and it’s soooo soooo lovely! My bottle of Nollie is 15 years gone so I can’t compare side by side but I think Opus Kore is a little bit better blended, slightly more put together. I’ll probably get a bottle of this one because it has memory tied to it and because it makes me happy. It’s very easy to wear and likeable, nothing revolutionary. But honestly I don’t want crazy and weird in the way I smell. I want beautiful, I want an art piece that evokes memories.

A delectable fruity scent without being overpoweringly sweet and synthetic smelling. It leans towards more clean and citrusy smelling, which I was pretty surprised to pick up, as I would believe this perfume was leaning more towards being a berry-based perfume, based on the notes. Don't get me wrong; the berry notes can be smelled, but they are not too overbearing and are more towards the softer side. To those who favor berry perfumes, I would suggest this one, only if you don't mind the scent of cleaner notes associated with it.
