Opus II

Amouage Opus II from the Library Collection
Eau de Parfum


Type: Oriental, Woody

Top Notes: Lavender, Absinth, Pepper, Pink Bay
Heart Notes: Jasmine, Rose, Cinnamon, Cardamom
Base Notes: Cedarwood, Patchouli, Amber, Musk, Frankincense

From the very first moment the top notes are light, green and fresh. In a minute Jasmine is noticeable followed by the spicy Cardamom and Cinnamon. Rose warms up the way that only the house of Amouage can show case an earthy rose! Five minutes later the entire base has made its entrance and joined with these precious notes to complete this beautiful soft, smoky, woody, green Eau de Parfum. First of the base are the Patchouli and Cedarwood, followed by sweet amber deepened into the soft smokey effect of musk and frankincense. All the while the rose is still present, surrounded by a bed of the soft smokey, woody notes to show her off.

Comfortable easy to wear, this fragrance reminds me of sitting on my deck in the summer with the fresh scents of the greens, wild flowers and woods on the hillside behind the moistness of the rushing creek wafting around warmed by the sun. Suddenly I enter the house into the library with the old leather bound books and old parchment paper, sitting on old wooden shelves, to sitting in an over sized comfortable old leather chair. This is the olfactory journey this fragrance takes me on. What will be the description of your olfactory journey. Try this one for yourself.

This eau de parfum may be purchased by the bottle or sample from Parfumerie Nasreen.

3.3 oz/100 ml bottle
