Vilhelm Parfumerie Opus Kore Review (Jerome Epinette) + Technicolor Spring Draw

January 20, 2022January 20, 2022

It is as if Mr. Epinette is a master conductor of a grand orchestra with his baton poised still in the air. This orchestral burst of life is in the first spray of Opus Kore, an Ode to Spring. There is the joyous rush of vivid color – pinks, yellow, greens, all backed by a clear, cloudless (and finally warm!) blue sky.
