OPUS X

Inspiration
Opus X feels like an olfactory installation built around the idea of the rose as an object of art. Imagine walking into a gallery room filled with crystal vases of red roses placed on lacquered tables, surrounded by metal sculptures and warm wooden panels. The opening suggests a bright, almost sharp rose with a cool metallic nuance, as if light is reflecting off a polished surface. As it develops, saffron, violet leaf and a hint of leather pull the rose into a darker, more velvety direction, adding tension and depth. Later, warm woods, resins, cistus and a soft animalic undertone rise from the base, making Opus X feel like a library of rose petals, ink, polished wood and incense. The result is a bold, complex rose composition with a strong Amouage signature, created for true niche lovers who enjoy fragrances with structure, contrast and presence.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
On our skin, Opus X opens with a powerful, luminous rose that immediately feels luxurious and a bit unexpected because of the metallic effect. As it settles, the leather, saffron and resins add warmth and drama, and the base becomes a glowing rose and wood aura that lingers for many hours. We recommend Opus X to clients who love distinctive rose perfumes and are looking for something bold, artistic and unmistakably Amouage rather than a soft, romantic rose.
