Yes, if you appreciate bold, sophisticated scents and enjoy rose-based fragrances.

Opus XII – Rose Incense is often described as a complex and rich fragrance that beautifully blends rose with incense and warm spices. Many users appreciate its depth and the way it evolves over time, with the rose and incense being prominent throughout. However, some find it too heavy or overwhelming, especially for casual wear. It is generally recommended for cooler weather and formal occasions, as it has a luxurious feel that suits evening events. The drydown is noted for its warm, balsamic qualities, but some users mention that it can be polarizing due to its intensity.
