Full description & fragrance notes

Overview

Rich, floral, and dramatically sophisticated, Philos Opus Noir by Maison Alhambra is a woody-floral fragrance that blends juicy fruits, Turkish rose, exotic ylang-ylang, warm leather, spicy nutmeg, amber, creamy vanilla, and deep woods.

It opens with fruits and Turkish rose, creating a sweet yet elegant introduction. The fruity accord adds brightness and richness while Turkish rose gives the opening a luxurious floral character.

As it develops, ylang-ylang, leather, nutmeg, and amber become more noticeable. Ylang-ylang adds a creamy floral quality while leather gives the fragrance depth and sophistication. Nutmeg brings warm spice, and amber adds richness to the heart.

The dry-down combines patchouli, vetiver, vanilla, musk, and cedarwood, creating a deep woody foundation with earthy warmth, creamy sweetness, and a smooth musky finish.

Try Before You Commit

Philos Opus Noir begins with juicy fruits wrapped around velvety Turkish rose, creating a sweet, floral, and attention-grabbing first impression.

As it settles, ylang-ylang brings a creamy floral richness while leather, nutmeg, and amber give the fragrance a warmer and darker character. Vanilla then softens the dry-down as patchouli, vetiver, cedarwood, and musk create a deep, smooth, and sophisticated woody trail.

What's in the vial

Every size is hand-filled from the original retail bottle. 1ml is a glass sample vial — roughly 10–12 sprays, enough to wear the scent for two or three days and see how it sits on your skin. 2ml, 5ml and 10ml come in refillable spray atomizers you can carry.

Will it smell like the original?

Where we name a designer reference, this fragrance was built in its image — close, not identical. Expect the same character and a different opening, drydown or longevity. The link above takes you to every other interpretation of that reference, and when we stock the genuine original you can decant both and decide for yourself.

Shipping, protection & free gifts

Orders ship by USPS Ground Advantage within 1–3 business days and usually arrive 2–5 days later. Spend $45 and we drop a free decant plus a mystery decant into your parcel — and shipping is free on orders $49+.

Add Route shipping protection to your order and a lost, stolen or damaged parcel is covered: file a claim with Route in a couple of taps and they handle the reorder or refund.

Genuine, guaranteed

Everything we sell is decanted from an authentic bottle bought from the house or an authorised distributor. Nothing is diluted or altered. If anything arrives damaged, leaking or missing, email us with a photo of your order sheet and we'll make it right.

Safety and use

Flammable. Fragrance contains alcohol. Keep away from heat, open flame and sparks, and don't spray near a lit cigarette or candle.

For external use only. Do not swallow. Avoid the eyes, mouth and broken or irritated skin. If it gets in your eyes, rinse well with water. If swallowed, contact Poison Control (1-800-222-1222) or a doctor.

Patch-test first. Fragrances contain natural and synthetic ingredients that can cause skin reactions in some people. Before wearing a new scent, spray a small area (like the inner arm) and wait 24 hours. Stop using it if redness, itching or a rash appears, and see a doctor if it continues. If you have known fragrance allergies or sensitive skin, ask your doctor before use.

Keep out of reach of children and pets. Sample vials are small glass and can break, and small parts can be a choking hazard.

Storage. Store upright, tightly closed, at room temperature and away from direct sunlight.
