The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015, Opus Kore by Vilhelm Parfumerie is a floral woody musk fragrance crafted by perfumer Jérôme Epinette. This composition opens with the vibrant freshness of Sicilian lemon and raspberry bloom, creating an initial burst of fruity zest. As it settles, magnolia and violet leaves introduce a lush floral heart that transitions seamlessly into a warm base of sandalwood, amber, and musk. The ozonic and aquatic notes lend a subtle marine freshness that contrasts beautifully with the powdery and green undertones.
Apply Opus Kore in light layers — the citrus and fruity top notes are bright but fade within an hour. The musky base carries the scent through the day, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want something fresh yet comforting.
