Smells like adventure!
After wearing it a few times, Opus XI seemed so familiar...and yes, yes, I have already smelled it somewhere!
Testing it in parallel with Abdul Samad Al Qurashi Aoud Fawah (Fragrant Oud oil): they're definitely related. Opus XI is a different type of leather (drier) and a different type of oud (cleaner), like a sharper-dressed, citadine relative of a much more expansive Aoud Fawah with its animalistic oud and fresh, warm leather.
This type of oud always awakens an adventurous side (if not in deed, at least in mind): I daydream of horse riders arriving at the edge of an ancient forest (Rohirrim at the edge of Entwood), or cowboys and the conquest of the Wild West...And if the wilder Aoud Fawah by Qurashi is what Indiana Jones would wear (- but it is unisex to my nose, and if you fancy yourself a female Indiana Jones you could definitely pull it off) the more polished Opus XI is for a Mughal princess on a falcon hunt. In a nutshell - if you're up for an adventure while being dressed to the nines, Opus XI will be your best companion!

Opus XI is a smoky oud-leather scent with a spicy, herbal and aromatic marjoram, hints of dust and burning wood. Rugged and intense.

A rather dusty, slightly challenging, leathery resinous-woody Winter fragrance, with a pungent spicy-smoky opening. Nice take on Oud!

The opening is dark and heavy, tar-like. After 20mins it settles and becomes oudy(hindi a bit?)-leather scent. A bit boring actually.
