Opus 1870 by Penhaligon's, released in 2005, is a spicy fragrance with woody, floral and citrus sides. It is refined and dry, with pepper and cardamom framing rose and incense over soft woods.
The opening is a lively mix of bergamot and yuzu for brightness, with pink pepper, cardamom and juniper adding a peppery, aromatic sparkle. In the heart, rose adds a floral contour, cinnamon a warm sweetness and incense a light, airy smoke. The base of sandalwood, vanilla and leather is smooth, slightly sweet and gently leathery, keeping the spice refined rather than loud.
Most wearers report moderate longevity, with a minority finding it weak, and the sillage is moderate or intimate. It is voted for spring and autumn and mainly for daytime. That suggests a polished, understated choice for the office and smart daytime occasions, suited to someone who likes spice and woods in a quiet, gentlemanly style.
Opus 1870 — for men fragrance by Penhaligon's (released 2005). Top notes: Pepper, Yuzu, Coriander, Juniper, Cardamom, Bergamot, Pink Pepper. Heart notes: Incense, Rose, Cinnamon, Orris Root. Base notes: Virginia Cedar, Sandalwood, Musk, Leather, Amber, Vanilla. — Parfica open fragrance database
