Opus VII Reckless Leather

That 24% oil concentration is no joke—two sprays and the leather and green woodiness last through a full workday. The three-week maceration really shows; it opens sharp but settles into something deep and quietly confident.

The dry-down is where this one shines—that green woody leather stays close to the skin for hours without turning sour on me. I can tell the 6-week ageing did its job, because the blend feels rounded, not sharp like some cheaper leathers.

The green woody base hits that sweet spot between polished and wild—I keep catching whiffs of leather hours later. Six weeks of ageing really shows; it's smooth but still has an edge that feels intentional.
