Sweet and animalic

Smells musky and sweet, very well blended.

Wonderful stuff that lasts for ages.

Very unique and opulent. To my nose Montale's Aoud Musk is very close to this.

Sillage, projection and lasting power are high.

Potent Amber; VERY Potent...

Opus VI opens with a peppery incense accord before quickly taking a backseat to the star of the scent... amber. The amber heart is super-potent and combines with frankincense to create an mildly spiced almost buttery almond undertone to the amber. Patchouli and sandalwood in the base complement the composition with just the faintest hint of sweetness, but the starring amber is never overly sweet throughout. Projection and longevity are both outstanding.

Wow, this is one potent scent! The first time I applied it I put just the smallest dab on my arm and it projected like crazy. It is obvious that one spray of this guy is all you need. Apart from its crazy strength, the amber really is well-done and Amouage has paired it rather nicely with the frankincense and mild spices. My primary gripe with the composition is it is just a bit *too* strong, even in small doses making it somewhat difficult to wear anywhere so versatility is lacking. That said, if amber is your thing this one is well worth a sniff. In my case it is just too much, but Opus VI still earns a good to very good rating of 3 to 3.5 stars out of 5. The best I have smelled of the lesser known Opus Series.

The opulence is dead and OPUS VI has left the building.

Sadly, this once beautiful masterpiece has been refomulated and making it a pale ghost of the Majestic scent it once was. Everything that contributed to the making of this once opulent scent is gone. Amouage sucks!

Amouage Opus VI

Sadly , this is not in production anymore . Somehow the new creative director decided to change the face of the Opus Collection and discontinue a few along the way.
A creation that was meant to represent the destruction and reinvention of knowledge and memories. A great description nonetheless ,but for me this is an opulent oriental amber the sophisticated omani incense coupled with the usual Amouage spices.
Longevity and projection are huge with this one so spray carefully .

Great together with Opus IV

Great opening, is a combination of pepper, spices, herbs and incense, looks like an old Shalimar type perfume, but it is vibrant, subtle and very refined. In this perfume the spices are in their fair amount without being overwhelmed.

Immediately the amber takes body, is buttery with a certain smell of toasted almonds, these notes are maintained until the end, turning around the patchouli and resins with a lot of quality.

In the drying the amber is the one that dominates but it is noticing how the resinous wood is taking center stage. This final stretch is very good and it becomes traditional to always perceive that incense, resins and balsamos.

It is together with Opus IV, the two best of The Library Collection, Projection and longevity very large.
