The Library Collection Opus V

Oh boy, another Amouage I love. Very different to the others I love from Amouage tho. Much more powdery, but finally, finally a powdery scent I can wear and actually thoroughly enjoy! The Iris in the early stages reminds me of the iris in L`Artisan Traversee du Bosphore, that lingering sweetness, not nearly as intense as Traversee here though yet certainly present. The surrounding notes in Opus V make those familiar Iris aspects a little more incensed though - and very slightly smoky in character. I think we are talking about the Oud in Opus vs Leather in Traversee here, as oud and leather notes can give off similar effect as note descriptors occasionally - which is perhaps what's bringing the familiarity. A slight leatheryness. But this is so much more than Traversee. There's much, much more complexity here. The florals playing with the other notes bringing in a soft sensuality, the oud also a light tanginess. That slight bit of animalic lingering in the background adding complexity. All dancing and playing together harmoniously with the Iris who plays centre stage to all of these notes. The Iris being the main player and yet so complimentary and in no way oppressive to the rest. More a state of constant interaction with the other notes drawing the best from them yet still remaining centre to them. Very complimentary. For me, the rum aspects tend to become more noticeabe after about 1.5 to 2 hrs into the drydown where the notes sort of meld together somewhat and produce a mild rummy sweetness. It's very nice actually and adds to the complexity. I still have that leathery iris but it's a little less obvious at this stage. A little more melded in. Amazing stuff here folks! It's one you really have to wear to fully appreciate. Words aren't always sufficient enough to encapsulate this kind of tapestried beauty. It's to be experienced! It's all pleasure, all Amouage and all good! (...ok sounds like a buy line but if you've experienced the kind of tapestried love Amouage is capable of delivering you'll know exactly where I'm coming from :) This is highly wearable for a male as well, and indeed also very unisex. Take part my friends and experience this one, it's really rather brilliant!

After reading all previous reviews, especially the ones describing disappointment, I came to conclusion that this must be one of this fragrances which development is HIGHLY dependent on skin chemistry. On some it will simply stink. On other it will turn into heaven. I'm in the lucky group whose skins chemistry agrees with Opus V. On my skin Opus V smells divine. It radiates warmth and comfort from my wrists which I cannot stop smelling and makes me think about sitting in a garden on a summer evening in August just after sunset but before dusk. It has a very light 'metallic' note which gives the drydown a kind of sharpness, but still it's a warm sharpness. I think it will be perfect for summer and I cannot wait to get a full bottle of Opus V! This is one of my ever favourites, it's been now in my cupboard for over 10 months. I really like the way it smells on me. However this is only my individual perception - my colleague at work asked me once if I can smell 'something weird and medicinal' - I figured he was referring to my perfume, so I presented my wrist with a question: This? 'Oh yeah!' and then he wrinkled his nose. We both started to laugh. The point of my story is that I really dislike people saying: this perfume is horrible. It's horrible for YOU. It doesn't suit YOU. YOU dislike it. But please, don't generalise: after all it's only YOUR subjective opinion. Paraphrasing the saying (I cannot remember literally): Somebody's heaven is somebody else's hell'

Well! According to the shop assistant I was only 'allowed' to try two of these! She believes from the couple of times I've been in (pffft!) that she 'knows what I like..and these two will be the ones' I'm a perfume lover...I'll try them all thank you very much! She was referring to Opus V and Opus III BTW which are quite different, maybe it was the ones she likes...who knows? I've got a sample vial of Opus VII and it's plain outrageous... It should be called 'Omen' instead of Opus I think as it has a devilish opening which actually turns into a great drydown. So that's my experience of the Library collection so far...I'm getting through them steadily. As for this one Opus V I have to say it's very pleasant and has some the complexity I've come to expect from Amouage but maybe not as much in this collection generally. It's a sweet one this with a top note of iris which is pleasant can't say I found it all that boozy which is a plus. Opus V is alright by me...It has a gentle vibe to it. Having got a proper sample to wear now I can conclude that this is my favourite of the Opus collection. Only slight contrary to what I said above it is boozy, in the best kind of way though...rum & wood this is absolutely what I'm about and it's super sweet with iris. I actually really love this and didn't think any of the Opus library collection would tempt me to buy but this one satisfies my sweet tooth so I might just have to get it.

The best example for development in the perfumery world. And the best examples for a synthetic perfume. It is not fully synthetic but it has a huge amount of synthetic molecules. Pure balance and beauty. And this was the inspiration for the perfume. In the past libraries and books are the reference for the information but today internet and digital libraries are the first reference for knowledges. Former director for Amouage Christopher Chounge wants to presents that development in a perfume. The Famous OPUS V by Jacques Cavallier. One of the latests Cavallier creation the I really love. Musky Powdery Floral Woody Pure white brighting full with salicylates (molecules with clean sweet silky floral charismatic). In the first impression you will think it's a simple blend, Vice versa. Imagine flat plains covered with snow you think its empty but with focusing you will start seeing a snowman a polar bear and white rabbits. Thats scene was full with lives. Brighting and delightful opened non-indolic white flowers mixed with clean earth orris accord. Silky powdery with wet florals impression like a water jars fully with floral petals a Jacques Cavallier DNA with most of his perfumes with soft cardamom touches. The basenote are drier sandalwoody rich too much white musk and a little animalic musk so its more clean than dirty.

مرحبا بعشاق العطور ✨، مرحبا بعشاق أمواج 🌊.. اكتشفت Opus V لأول مرة مع صديق مقرب لي💫، حينها ألفتت إنتباهي 😲 رائحة البهارات🏺 الممزوجة بالرم 🍷 و باقة زهور بهية 💐 و أخشاب طرية مما جعل المزيج متناغما و محسنا للمزاج، لذلك لجأت لظمه لمجموعتي العطرية، فلا شيء يماثل التأثير الفوري الذي رسمه العطر على قسمات وجهي. #opusv هو بالتأكيد أحد أفضل عطور خط مجموعة المكتبة الخاص بدار أمواج📚. جعلني العطر أحس بانتعاشة أقنعتني بأن هذا العطر هو الترياق الناجع لارتواء ظمئي..🏝️ أغمضت عيناي 🙈 واستنشقت عبيره الرطب الذي يذكرني بأجواء من طفولتي عند زيارة أحد أقربائي، تمدد منعش للغاية، رسمي و فريد من نوعه. إنه مزيج من الرم 🍷 و السوسن والجلد و خلاصات خشبية مختلفة و جرعة حيوانية طفيفة من قط الزباد. هناك من سيجد العطر نسائي، لكن ملاحظة الرم 🍷 بالنسبة لي أكسبته هوية الجنسين على حد سواء. إذا كنت تحب رائحة السوسن الترابي، فهذه رائحة جيدة بلمسة من العود الخفيف. الورد 🌹 هنا يضيف فقط مسحة فاكهية مائية، و هذه التفاصيل دائما ما تجعلني أحترم العطر و العطار. عطر آسر للغاية! أداؤه نووي🔥، أنصح به، و بشدة 💜 — دمت قارئا، و دام العطر رفيقك 🌹. _____________________________________________ للمزيد من التقارير المرجو زيارة صفحتي عبر الأنستغرام Luxe_cologne_reviews مودتي ❤️ _____________________________________________
