Fragrance description Amouage Opus VIII
Amouage Opus VIII is an oriental and woody fragrance for men and women with a strong yet subtle floral component. This
Eau de Parfum from an independent luxurious perfume brand based in London, which draws inspiration from the rich and
varied heritage of its birthplace in the Sultanate of Oman, is calming and yet spicy and surprising, and like all
Amouage perfumes, uniquely inspiring.
The Opus VIII Eau de Parfum is part of the Amouage brand’s luxury collection. The Library Collection comprises ten
fragrances designed as timeless adventures of the senses that pay no attention to currently fashionable trends. Each of
the remarkable and magnificent fragrances from this collection celebrating integrity, originality and masterful
craftsmanship is inspired by memories and the major milestones on human life journeys. The Opus eaux de parfum are
labelled with “codes” from I to X, indicating their status as a complete work that forms part of a broader collection.
All of them deny conventional classification, cross gender boundaries and allow their wearers to write their own unique
story. The Library Collection of fragrances is a poetic homage to the art of living.
The Amouage Opus VIII Eau de Parfum is a fascinating fragrance characterised by superior quality and a long-lasting
scent. The renowned perfume designers Pierre Negrin and Richard Herpin have together created the eighth jewel of the
Library Collection: a timeless, classical fragrance born from the ancient art of the true masters of perfume-making.
They were inspired by the deceptive dialogue between reality and illusion. The composition of Opus VIII opens with notes
of jasmine, ylang-ylang and orange blossom. The heart delights with incense, saffron, ginger, lignum vitae and vetiver.
The base is formed by balsam accords, benzoin and allspice.
Amouage Opus VIII flows from the golden aura of its opening notes to an engaging and deep heart, all accented by an
imaginatively luxurious spirit that accompanies the dark intensity of its final accords. The Amouage Opus VIII Eau de
Parfum, a masterpiece of perfume-making which captures the creative clash between reality and illusion, will be
appreciated by all men and women who prefer imaginative fragrances that are utterly timeless. It will forever win the
hearts of those who enjoy woody and floral fragrances with an oriental and spicy touch, and delight everyone who can
appreciate true quality, originality and precision at each step of perfume-making. Opus VIII is suitable for day and
evening wear throughout the year. Its wearer will experience a calming and uplifting touch which helps them stand out
from the crowd with its unique and strikingly exceptional character.
Besides the arresting fragrances, which are the result of a manufacturing process meeting the strictest standards of
quality, all the perfumes made by Amouage also stand out with their luxurious packaging. The Opus VIII bottle, with its
appealingly rounded shape in a wonderful frosted pale pink with gold decorations, excites with its elegant,
sophisticated and sumptuous design. The packaging is completed by an unusually attractive box which dramatically
captures the image of a bottle in shades of grey.
