About
Opus XIII – Silver Oud by Amouage is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. Opus XIII – Silver Oud was launched in 2021. The nose behind this fragrance is Cécile Zarokian. Top notes are Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Patchouli and Virginia Cedar; middle notes are Agarwood (Oud) and Madagascar Vanilla; base notes are Castoreum, Birch, Guaiac Wood and Ambrarome. A protruding depth of Patchouli and smoky Cypriol confuses the senses. Instead of a top note, a wide variety of woods appear, foreboding a deep evolution. An exquisitely rich Oud Assam dances in unison with a leathery Madagascar Vanilla, while Ambrarome, Birch, Castoreum, and Guaiac Wood leave dark sillage imprints on the skin, blending in an endless finale. Inspired by the notions of Confusion, Passion, and Destruction expressed in Stendhal’s “The Red and The Black”, Silver Oud is a manifestation of the tension between idealism and realism, the contradiction between thinking and feeling, and the power of mimetic desire. Silver Oud is doubling in size compared to the previous flacon and is now permanently offered in 100ml. The other historic Opuses will remain available for sale through the Amouage Archive, on Amouage.com, and selected Amouage boutiques (while supplies last); a different framework that will leave ample space for The Library Collection to grow anew, attuned to a cohesive curatorial approach.Top Notes: Patchouli Molecular Distillation, Cypriol Essence, Virginia Cedar Essence.Heart Notes: Oud Assam Essence, Vanilla Madagascar Absolute.Base Notes: Ambrarome, Birch Essence, Guaiac Wood Essence, Castoreum.

About

The fragrance features Agarwood (Oud), Castoreum, Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Myrrh, Mushroom, Styrax, Patchouli, Vetiver, Labdanum, Tobacco, Ambergris, Sandalwood, Musk, Rose and Jasmine. "L'oudh is a fragrance that builds around a natural oudh essential oil from Laos. There is no olfactory pyramid as the fragrance is not composed around head, heart and body notes. L'oudh accord, with natural oudh and cypriol , to name two ingredients, is central to the fragrance. All other notes and ingredients are there to support a naturalistic, wild, untamed oudh. The oudh oil from Laos was imported with an offical CITES license."Notes: Oudh, castoreum, tobacco, musk, vetiver, morile, cistus, patchouli, myrrh, sandalwood, amber gris.Natural ingredients: Rose and jasmin absolute, oudh oil, cistus oil, styrax, tobacco, sandalwood (s. alba), myrrh oil, patchouli, vetiver, cypriol.Available as a 50 ml EDP.
