I do not own Amouage Opus V, so I am Not making a comparison. Optus V is a very pleasant fragrance, it does hit the advertised notes. It is an easy bottle to reach for when I want something that is very pleasant. It is not a beast by any means. It is very, very easy to layer, particularly with something that has a bit more rose, iris, or booze. I did not really pick up any animalic scents. So, for the money, it's a decent buy. If you are expecting Amouage type strength and performance, this is NOT it. I know that you can layer it with OGs or clones of TF Ombre Leather, TF Rose Prick, Amouage Lyric (Man or Woman), TF Velvet Blonde, and I think it will work very well others like that as well.
