Opus V – Woods Symphony

Opus V opens with a boozy, roasted orris—honeyed and almost grainy—before rum's warmth deepens into something buttered and spiced. Jasmine and rose bloom softly in the middle, anchored by that creamy orris accord, lending a powdery elegance without vanishing into abstraction. As it settles, dry woods and agarwood emerge with quiet intensity, their resinous, slightly animalic character sharpened by civet's musky undercurrent. The whole arc feels measured and architectural, never loud—a composition where each layer waits its turn, sensual without theatrics.
