The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Opus V Woods Symphony by Amouage was launched in 2011 and crafted by the renowned perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. The composition is a harmonious blend of iris, woody, and powdery accords, with rose and oud providing depth and warmth. This fragrance opens with orris root and rum, leading to a heart of rose and jasmine before settling into a base of agarwood (oud), dry wood, and civet. The result is a rich blend that balances floral elegance with the earthy richness of woods.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for the best longevity. The orris root and rose notes are bright but subtle, while the oud base develops slowly over time, so give it a chance to unfold on your skin.
