Upon application you get thrown in the midst of a surreal nightmare. Deep dark green. A personal review: Some years ago I came across Opus VII in a shop, the bottle was the darkest shade of green, and the first spray too, to my surprise, had not kept anything back and smelled nightmarishly dark and green, it was loud and sharp and so new to me, I looked at the SA in shock and just said wow what is this! I'm not into greens, let alone one so overtly over the top and deeply insane. But for the next days I started craving it more and more wanting to face that shock, I ended up going back opening the cap of the tester, thinking yes this is it, buying and falling in love with it. The love itself felt like a mistake/hate at first full wearings, like a struggle, I knew it's mine but it felt too insane at times, years later now I know every single detail about Opus VII, I enjoy the smooth musc under its rough face, I find the pissy leather as beautiful as a panther marking its territory and not at all repulsive, I enjoy the ridiculously dark green opening, the galbanum, frankincense and the oakmoss. And all the struggle makes VII more special to me than a love at first sniff. And to be honest I still am ready for a fight whenever it calls me to wear it! What does it make me feel? Lost in a dark forest. What do I imagine when wearing this? There's an strong wild being lurking in the depth of this forest, like I said it took me some wearings to befriend her. Who do I imagine wearing it? Honestly noone famous irl comes to mind, it belongs to someone who's seen things that most couldn't handle, he's cold, elegant. A modern lone cowboy with a bike and a dark past. In short, Taylor Kitsch in True Detective S2. To whom do I recommend it? If you like green perfumes, the oldschool ones, if you can handle One Man Show or vintage Quorum this will blow your mind. And it will keep doing so for many wearings, with its depth and complexity. If you like animalics, leathers, dark gothic perfumes try it you may like it, if you want something new challenging dark and really niche you're in for a treat test it you'll have fun even if you decide it's not for you. if you keep looking for "panty droppers" or consider Aventus or Office as the Holy Grail, don't bother with this. If you want something not offensive, no it's not here, this will turn heads, every single one, and some of them will be in disgust. VII lasts a day and then some, projects like sirens for 5 hours and then strongly for another 5 before being reduced to smooth muscy green leather for it's long lasting final act which feels like a whole strong perfume on itself! (I have the first batch, but I doubt it was ever changed) Don't blindbuy, and when testing hang on tight through the darkest green of perfumery, may you tame the beast. 🌹

Perform a quick search across the infallible and faultless internet, and you will find this piece of information: the most commonly used, or most popular, spice in the world is cumin. Even for those "experts," including the self-proclaimed ones, that do not place it as number one usually give it a spot in their top 3 or 4. This probably surprises most of us in the US and Europe - but that's our solipsism talking. The world is a very big place, most of its people are not in the US or Europe, and cumin is a staple of cooking for the majority besides. Interestingly, Amouage does not say that you should smell cumin in Opus VII. To them, it smells of galbanum, pink pepper, cardamom, fenugreek, nutmeg, amber, oud, patchouli, leather, ambergris, cistus, musk, sandalwood, olibanum, and cypriol. Upon application the galbanum and cardamom are definitely there and singing at full volume. The sweet pepperiness of the galbanum collides with aromatics of cardamom to give - to my nose - a distinct impression of fresh cumin. However, as it dries down over the first hour it becomes clearer that you're not smelling cumin at all since the stated notes begin to come through as if they're separating from each other to no longer work as a whole but to stand on their own. Slightly vegetally sweet from the galbanum; bold aromatics from cardamom and anisic fenugreek, and solid helpings of nutmeg; woody, earthy, animalic - and definitely funky - from the oud, patchouli, leather, ambergris and musks. The vegetal sweetness, the seed aromatics, and the funk: it's the illusion of cumin. The final dry down is a skin-hugging scent of woody, slightly leathery ambers. Cumin was never really there. Tricks were played on me; that most popular and unique of spices is very multifaceted. Take enough facets from the right things and there the illusion lives. Savory is a great word for this perfume. If you think about a very aromatic dish from Central America or South Asia, vs a very aromatic dish composed of largely the same spices from Arabia, the Central American or South Asian dish will smell "wet" - aromatic and savory, yes, but also wet. Maybe sort of steamy or fatty, i.e. hydrated, whereas the Arabian dish is likely to smell airy and dry. The food reflecting the two different landscapes. The latter drier locale/cuisine is the direction Opus VII goes. I have to admit that I'm lost here. I absolutely love what this perfume is accomplishing. It is an artistic and technical mind-blower. Do I want to wear it? Do I really want to smell like I've been in the kitchen of an Arabian restaurant all day? Well, I don't know. Who honestly wants to smell like spicy funky food... but damn does it taste good.

This is serious. Should come with a warning label, not for those with a weak stomach. I just tested this from a 2ml sample, wore it to the gym. This was making the Lysol spray used for cleaning the equipment smell like a perfume. Someone mentioned in the comments the nagarmotha is a plant originally grown in India and a species of the papayrus plant, it has a penetrating quality that invades your respiratory system. I definitely get that with how this fragrance wears. I also get a strong indian make up with this fragrance, the fenugreek being the star of the show here for me. Someone else mentioned this is cumin, no it's not, there's no cumin in this. I kept waiting for cumin to come out because it just feels like the kind of scent your going to all of a sudden get an unwelcomed blast of cumin, but no it's not here. I imagine that person is thinking this because of the other spices paired especially with the fenugreek are common in Indian cuisine and typically cumin is present. The fenugreek here is tart, bitter, it's so distinct, but if you've never had it in food you might not pick it out. But to me it's really what makes this whole composition so unique. I used to get Indian food from a local place, the family lived a few houses down from me, it was real deal Indian food. Smelling this fragrance immediately reminded me of this one vegetarian dish, "saag paneer". Don't get me wrong opus 7 is no where near a gourmand, but the Indian spice blend definitely plays a big role in this scent. This is definitely a wearable fragrance, possibly challenging for some, but beautiful in it's own way. It is very dark, it's very green, it's tart, bitter, woodsy, spicy, some oud and insense. It's very nice. Going in my want list.

Peppery, hard, very dry, spice is what hits you first and like a freight train! The cardamom and fenugreek is huge and borderline unpleasant. The theme with these fragrances are the top notes of dry spice exist as a thin veil which mellows and thins out further but never quite completely goes away until deep, deep into the drydown. Somehow yet again Amouage have created something that conjures up all the imagery and feeling of the Middle East and yet again when the spice subsides a little after an hour or so the heart and base of the fragrance are revealed and it's wonderful!!!! The Oud is lovely and works well in this composition. Unfortunately this is the first and only one I've tried from the library collection but it seems like an educating and thoroughly worthwhile spin on the Amouage carousel. Need more samples of the others. Update: Having worn this again since my first review I have to say although I would never accuse any Amouage fragrance of being linear and not possessing depth, I couldn't get past that heavy cardamom opening. As this thing changes though you start to pick up on a creamy, Oud, sandalwood, definite leather coming through after the first hour or so and smoke it's really really really good!!! There's almost a sweetness coming from something deep under all that dark dark heaviness and it's also quite green too. Very complex, completely bonkers, almost satanic in its darkness I can just imagine Al Pacino wearing this in that devils advocate movie! (I nicked that from another reviewer BTW, can't remember who but thanks because that chimed with me)

Opus VII is a rich spicy-amber scent with a good dose of aromatic green herbal notes. The spices are peppery and reminiscent of Indian cooking - delicious in context, but not what I typically look for in a perfume. However, Opus VII pulls it off - it is a luxurious, masculine-leaning spicy leather scent with a herbal-woody edge. OVII opens with strong, aromatic spicy notes, green and savoury, like a spice market. Peppery cardamom is very prominent here. The balsamic amber base develops from the beginning, melding beautifully with the rich spices. Herbal notes add to the food-like portion of this scent. The galbanum adds hazy greenness, while warm, peppery spice and patchouli make for a earthy, dark accord, offset by some smoky incense. The amber accord becomes increasingly leathery as it develops, musky and just the right amount of animalic. The patchouli becomes more balsamic as it progresses. Smooth sandalwood grounds things as it dries down, complementing the rich amber accord beautifully. The spices and earthiness remain - it is very well-blended throughout. In a nutshell, the leather accord develops as the spices mellow, with the smoky-woody-herbal-earthy notes rounding it out. Sillage is strong and longevity is long-lasting, and it is best worn in autumn/winter. A rich, high-quality scent, OVII is multifaceted yet cohesive. It is one of the best of the Library Collection scents - a relic of Christopher Chong's time at the helm of Amouage. I would love this on a man. 4.5/5.

First off: This is a fantastic fragrance. At the start, it smells like burning oud - sharp, dark, smoky, and vaguely animalic. There's a greener scent following close behind; I think it's cypriol. I can't smell pepper as much as I can feel it prickling my nose. There are traces of something like leather, but more alive and almost plant-like. On the other hand, the actual plant notes are musky and animalic. All these strange notes combine into one very well-blended whole, and it's difficult for me to separate them from one another. While the 'Opus' in the name is meant to suggest a novel (as it's part of the Library collection), this reminds me more of a musical composition in how seamlessly the notes play together. This is the first fragrance that worked for me as an art piece rather than just something that smells nice. I've encountered other such fragrances since that time, but this one remains among the very best. I do think it's overpriced. However, I recommend trying a sample nonetheless, since even if you don't like it enough to wear, you may enjoy experiencing it.

i tested it today...it better than opus vi, no doubt similarity is there..due to the smell of oud,it is a part of the ingredient,,, ... it started with a blast of spice, i suspected cardamon, then the oud come out strongly..the unique takes on this part is the oud do not linger alone, all the spices is on top with oud in the base wafting in and out...after 6 -8 hours the leather comes out strongly with incense etc ...i cannot smell the oud any more...that is on the skin during spring time..a cold one actually.. on cloth the spice and oud combo still lingers throughout till 12 hours, knowing amouage style..it should last till tomorrow.... the thing i like is the bravery that is undertaken by amouage to try mixing amouage style of perfumery with leather..rather than..bamf straight away change the direction..like an art which is perfect, rather than remake another art it just add a frame, colours to the frame, find a perfect place to hang it with perfect lighting and background...to me it is the smell of a firm and strong character gentleman.....

Following the line of unashamedly spice-forward Opus scents, this joins the company of IV and VI. But you can sense the evolution and improvement along that path - IV too “grilled meat-y”, VI more wearable but the spices slightly disruptive to the beautiful resin and incense. VII finds a way to put the spice front and center without seeming forced or smelling too much like a kitchen. The secret is the selection of spices (natch). This goes on with a burst of fenugreek seed, evoking an Indian tarka (spices bloomed in hot oil). As it evolves it’s smoothed by plenty of cardamom over a fantastic woody/inky/leathery base. The fenugreek never gets sweaty or dirty or any other nastiness that can happen with spices in fragrance. Ironically the most spice-forward of the Library series is also the best and most wearable of its ilk. You magnificent bastards, you finally nailed it.

Reckless, but in a good way and tha was obvious why the change the name — like wearing a black leather jacket directly on bare skin for long hours, with that scent of leather and sweaty skin A smoky, green, animalic leather. The opening is spicy, as if a blend of cumin and nutmeg, with a prominent presence of heavy green galbanum carrying an intense smoky character that adds balance and harmony to the introduction. The fragrance is semi-linear, with minimal transitions. Some notes emerge while others mellow. As it settles, the leather becomes softer, revealing resinous, incense-like notes with creamy woody accords, though they remain subtle due to the fragrance’s intensity and the roughness of the opening. The base is an ideal Amouage-like composition of frankincense, amber, and patchouli, with a clear presence of leather that becomes smoother compared to the opening.

I sampled this in a blind sniff event, and I loved it without knowing the name or where it came from. I remember sniffing it and immediately being transported to a dark forest replete with ferns and undergrowth. Dark dark green. A slightly herby green opening. It has a bit of a leathery and oudy base as well. It was the fragrance I liked the most! After the reveal, I bought a full bottle. I was a bit nervous as first impressions can be misleading, but I was nervous in vain. I still loved it. sillage and performance are above average on me. It isn't a monster, but that is perfect for me.. Not for everyone...and definitely not in the mainstream sweet/ambroxan league. That is one reason why I love it. Deep dark green goodness. You can get lost in this scent in every good way.

I don't know, Fred. To be fair to everyone, this perfume is about as exotic as it gets, and maybe some women appreciate something completely different and completely unexpected. And by "exotic", it's not how most more corporate brands market and promote "exotic", using cheap materials to smell like the magazine advertisement of a place. I'm sure that's what you meant, that this is not really an easy success. I agree. I'd also be interested in any woman who thought this smelled good on me, because it's a great one. Top-ten for me. I'm not hauling in the babes with it, the couple times a year I wear it, but I can imagine some tall, dark, and handsome stud wearing this and hauling in some babes, likely because he has some confidence. Maybe too much confidence? Who knows.

Amouage Opus VII is a complex and multifaceted fragrance that offers a unique and captivating experience. Its strong and heavy sillage ensures long-lasting wear, while the blend of galbanum, cardamom, fenugreek, and cooking spices creates a rich and aromatic profile. The fragrance also features notes of amber, leather, animalic accords, earthy elements, and a woody mixture, all of which contribute to its depth and complexity. Upon first sniff, I found the fragrance to be overwhelming, but after it dried down, I fell in love with it and imagined how it would smell on my partner, If they were to wear this fragrance, I would be delighted to be close to them.🥰🥰 The fragrance mellows into a harmonious and alluring scent that is both masculine and alluring.😊

I bought this based on the gorgeous review on the Kafkaesque blog and what a surprise. I have never smelled anything like this. It's green. I detect a distinct bay leaf note but this is also woody and incredibly smoky.It's like the sexiest peat bog you could ever wear. I never thought I could entertain a green fragrance until I smelled something as wild as Opus VII. That wildness is not chaos though, it is sleek, stealthy and predatory. Possibly the most unexpected and unique perfume I own.I was initially skeptical about the Opus Library.Firstly from the abstract, non-descript names (I,II, VI, what?) but I think I love them more than the "classic" Amouages. Buy this one. It will take you on an adventure.

Rich, dark green! According to the color and juice of the container, it is green and all green, dark and mysterious. The first spray had a completely nightmare-inducing dark and green scent. It shocked me since it was so loud and harsh and yet pleasant.. The absurdly dark green beginning, the galbanum, the frankincense, and the oakmoss are all pleasant to me. VII is more meaningful to me than a love at first sight because of all the hardship. If you enjoy green fragrances, choose this one for its depth and richness. Try it if you enjoy leather, dark gothic fragrances, and animalic notes. VII projects beautifully and lasts for at least a day. Dark, opulent, thick, and smokey! Masterpiece!

Vampires, ever fallen for someone but they’re more of a werewolf person? Just a modest spritz of this bestial elixir and they will never smell the difference. This is just pure full-moon bathed, foresty pagan ruttiness. There’s two levels of projection: the first is green and spicy, with the earthy fenugreek standing out and which you pick up at arm’s length, but get closer and it is intensely dark, sweaty, leathery and downright wolfish. For those wild nights out when you want to smell like the god Pan, and for ritual use only.

A lush herb infused Oriental offering from Amouage that immediately whisks you off to a tropical forest surrounding a river or lake. The perfume opens with notes of cardamom, pepper, fenugreek and pronounced galbanum. The heart is cypriol, costus, and olibanum. The perfume settles on a bed of ambergris, musk, patchouli and slight oud. Unisex masculine leaning with moderate to strong projection and sillage and good longevity. Very evocative and beautifully blended. Enjoy!

This is a strong intense juice. The first smokey spicy blast is huge, almost like a campfire. When the heart opens up you can feel the true beauty of this one with leathery, smokey, spicy oud and a bit of cumin. Very well balanced but a bit difficult at first. The heart and drydown are lovely, breath-taking. Not what I would call an everyday fragrance but other fragrance lovers will find this unique and somewhat enchanting. A little goes a very long way, use sparingly.
