Amouage Opus V

Amouage Opus V opens with bergamot and pepper in the house's signature precise, slightly spiced manner — the opening clean and purposeful, immediately setting up the more complex and more demanding experience to follow. Opus V does not rush itself; it reveals itself.

Iris and violet form a heart of cool, powdery florality — the iris particularly prominent, its metallic, slightly medicinal quality used here with the complete confidence that only Amouage can bring to challenging materials. Opus V is not for the faint-hearted.

Oud and sandalwood create a woody base of considerable depth and tenacity. Opus V is for the Amouage collector who has explored the more accessible chapters and is ready for something that requires more from the wearer — more patience, more attention, more openness to beauty that is not immediately obvious.
