Opus XII – Rose Incense

Opus XII – Rose Incense by Amouage is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men. Opus XII – Rose Incense was launched in 2019. The nose behind this fragrance is Bruno Jovanovic. Top notes are Olibanum, Ink and elemi; middle notes are Damask Rose and Olibanum; base notes are Myrrh, Sandalwood, Vanilla and Cedar. A joyous and crimson Damascus Rose set in a Frankincense Hyperabsolute mount, waves of Vanilla clashing against bitter splinters of Myrrh, nocturnal drops of Black Ink crashing against citrusy streaks of Elemi, Opus XII is a study of both Rose and Incense, pushing them each to unexplored territories and pulling out an uncompromisingly novel take on an otherwise classic accord. Inspired by the mystery behind Orson Welles' Rosebud, Opus XII is an ambery and pointillist constellation of gleaming moments coming back and forth from the dregs of memory, compelling us to believe that despite our knowledge of the present, only childhood memories are real. Top Notes: Elemi, Olibanum (Frankincense) Hyper Absolute, Black Ink Accord. Heart Notes: Damascena Rose Water Essential, Suederal, Frankincense Absolute. Base Notes: Myrrh, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Cedarwood.
