About
The Library Collection Opus VI by Amouage is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. The Library Collection Opus VI was launched in 2012. Top notes are Incense, West Indian Bay and Sichuan Pepper; middle notes are Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Patchouli and Silk Vine or Milk Broom; base notes are Amber, Labdanum and Sandalwood. Opus VI, presented as a romantic fragrance creating its own vivid memories, is a woody amber oriental, inspired by the traditional medicine for broken hearts, amber. But whereas traditional amber is created through balsamic raw materials, creative director Christopher Chong approaches this most traditional concept through a modern lens, fusing synthetic molecules with a decidedly modern olfactory profile, such as Ambranum and Z11. This supposedly helps create a discordant effect which is not unlike the emotional frame of when someone tries to forget the memories of a heartache! According to Chong: " Personal memories are a fragmented journey into our lives. A source of profound knowledge, a sort of secret diary in the minds of each of us".top: Sichuan pepper, incense, Pimenta aracemosa (bay rum) heart: periploca graeca (silk vine), cypriol (cyperus oil), patchouli base: ambranum, Z11, Cistus ladanifer (rock rose), sandalwood

About

The house of Tiziana Terenzi, known for its scented candles, presents its first Extrait de Parfum line in 2012. The line is inspired by fire with four different experiences of journey. “The hypnotic power and beauty of fire are always present in our lives, connecting us with great symbolic power to our emotions and to all of creation. The four new perfumes embody the four stages of a journey consumed by fire. In fire, every emotion, every image, every fragrance comes to life and exists almost independently from our thoughts. Our perfumes capture the indomitable spirit of our emotions. The creation of these perfume essences comes from the never-ending quest to depict and capture emotions. These perfumes embody the powerful Faustian desire to try to hold on to a beautiful moment, and the constant exploration of the “self and the non-self”. The fragrances are named XIX March, Ecstasy, Gold Rose Oudh and White Fire. The ones that have “black soul” are Gold Rose Oudh and White Fire and are labeled with leather label, while the ones with “white soul”, labeled with wood, are XIX March and Ecstasy. Ecstasy is a mystical fragrance of “the most intense journey into the “sacred fire” of the soul, in search of total authentic in the suspended gravity of absolute beauty.” Top notes: pine, spruce, stone powder. Heart: incense, patchouli, rose, violet. Base: sandalwood, amber, cistrose, tonka, forest land, ancient wood. It is available as 100 ml Extrait de Parfum.
