Opus V
Inspiration
Opus V feels like stepping into a quiet library lined with leather bound volumes and polished wood, where every page reveals a new nuance of iris and oud. It opens with orris root and rum, a sophisticated boozy accord that immediately sets a luxurious tone. The heart brings a velvety iris wrapped in rose and jasmine, adding a classic floral and gently powdery elegance to the composition. As it develops on the skin, agarwood, dry woods and civet emerge, creating a warm, slightly animalic woody base that lingers for hours. Opus V is made for true iris and oud lovers who appreciate a more cerebral, layered woody floral musk with a distinctly niche character and the opulent depth for which the Amouage Library Collection is known.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
We experience Opus V as a confident connoisseur scent. The iris and rum in the opening feel rich and polished, while the oud and dry woods bring depth and presence without losing refinement. The civet adds a subtle animalic undertone that makes the trail memorable and very much Amouage. For us this is a perfect choice when you want a serious, sophisticated signature fragrance with strong performance and a clearly niche personality.
