The story behind the bottle.
Opus XV – King Blue by Amouage is a complex Oriental Woody fragrance that blends rich, earthy notes with fresh and spicy accents. Launched in 2023 and crafted by Alexis Grugeon and Hamid Merati-Kashani, it opens with the bright zest of mandarin orange and black currant, followed by the sharp freshness of pink pepper and frankincense. The heart is a harmonious blend of amber and oud, while the base notes include leather, oak, sandalwood, and patchouli, creating a warm and enveloping finish.
This fragrance has a strong presence from the start due to its bright top notes. For optimal wear, apply it in layers — two sprays initially, followed by a light touch-up after an hour as the base notes begin to develop. It's best worn during cooler hours or indoors where its warmth and depth can be fully appreciated.
