for me, "Opus XII - Rose Incense | Amouage" is one of the best Amouage releases of recent years. A fragrance of contrasts: mystical and calming, dark and light at the same time.

It starts with a juicy rose, soft in character and intense at the same time. Not the way I imagine rose in (Arabic) fragrances. This rose is realistic and tangible, close at hand. Green, herbal and natural. Simply bombingly good: otherwise I don't like rose in fragrances very much. The rose water fades slowly, but only disappears after many hours. It leaves the foreground to a fantastic incense note. The incense is bright and unburnt. Like the unburnt and fresh resin, complemented by sweet myrrh, vanilla and elemi. The depth of "Opus XII - Rose Incense | Amouage" is impressive, creating an impression of mysticism and complexity. At the same time, all the ingredients have a high-quality effect and are calming and meditative in themselves.

Compliments? Not a single one. The performance is really great, the longevity and radiance are worthy of Amouage. However, everyone who received "Opus XII - Rose Incense | Amouage" for testing was simply thrilled. This Amouage does not offend, is very pleasing and harmonious without being boring. Really rare for me: Truly unisex without being unsexy. A fragrance to go out in, to wear for yourself or to please others.

Sunshine is the first Amouage I've really loved so far, and right off the bat. Quite different from much of the offer, although I want to accuse everything else here monotony. Who can halfway do something with sweet fragrances and is looking for something special should give Sunshine a chance.

"Is there cake?" is what I was asked, get it. This is just tonka, and really good tonka at that. This one is already gourmand to me, but it doesn't really smell like something edible to me until the late drydown. Before that, an interesting medicinal lavender, candied orange and green notes accompany the opening, and it lasts a long time. The sunscreen associations are understandable, a mix of these almost synthetic vibes paired with a warming sweetness. After many hours then really almost something like creme brûlée.

As already mentioned: I just love Sunshine, was fascinated after the first test and then repeated this often. This was, by the way, in the depths of winter, for me also anything but a summer fragrance. If summer, then in the evening.
For me more masculine, why that is so I can hardly explain.
Durability and silage are top, strong projection for many hours.
A unique melange, which I have smelled so nowhere else.

Megamare is the sea, seaweed and a salty crust. A piece of wood has been floating for a long time. I don't usually like aquatics but this is just wonderful. Not a single reaction so far has been negative, durability and radiance are unparalleled. Whole houses can be filled with 2 sharps. Have tested on paper, but only on the skin becomes the so really convincing. Already washable, but a shower can survive the quite. Megamare remains transparent and ozonic, you can feel not only the spray but also a sun. A day at the sea, only just preserved and removable in cans.
After a hot day Megamare conjures me a smile, think I would have been somewhere else. Because it is then in any case still present.

Bergamask to understand is really not easy; it seems to disappear sometimes only to come back half an hour later even stronger. May well be due to the Javanol, which is also not perceptible to everyone, so at least my experience. This "flacker" effect already led to short-term disappointment to have bought here after extensive testing. But really only briefly.

At the beginning is a floral bouquet, definitely lavender, white flowers and perhaps also something very dry rose. Plus waxy zest of various citrus fruits, not just bergamot but also kumquat. The floral is replaced by sweet wood that lingers. I only became aware of the familiar Gualtieri musk like this on a tester after it had been lying open on my desk for a week. On the skin, other notes always accompany this familiar accord. Just this animalic makes Bergamask for me.

Overall, a beautiful and unique fragrance, especially in the summer. At temperatures above 25 ° Bergamask literally explodes and is full in the air, especially in the first hours. Which is not to say that it is then no longer there: it becomes softer, woodier as it progresses. Used in the afternoon, Bergamask easily lasts until the next morning. No unpleasant notes, not too intrusive, and still strong sillage and longevity. An Orto Parisi that you can wear for yourself and for others.

For me, the most beautiful Gualtieris fragrances that merge with me as perfumes I wear. This also includes this one
