About This Perfume
Vilhelm Parfumerie Opus Kore comes across as bright lemon and berries, soft floral musks. It opens with Sicilian lemon and açaí, moves into pink magnolia, raspberry blossom and violet leaf and settles on musk, sandalwood and amber. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for the office and date nights. Released in 2015.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
