The Library Collection Opus VI

The Library Collection Opus VI by Amouage is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. The Library Collection Opus VI was launched in 2012. Top notes are Incense, West Indian Bay and Sichuan Pepper; middle notes are Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Patchouli and Silk Vine or Milk Broom; base notes are Amber, Labdanum and Sandalwood. Opus VI, presented as a romantic fragrance creating its own vivid memories, is a woody amber oriental, inspired by the traditional medicine for broken hearts, amber.  But whereas traditional amber is created through balsamic raw materials, creative director Christopher Chong approaches this most traditional concept through a modern lens, fusing synthetic molecules with a decidedly modern olfactory profile, such as Ambranum and Z11. This supposedly helps create a discordant effect which is not unlike the emotional frame of when someone tries to forget the memories of a heartache! According to Chong: " Personal memories are a fragmented journey into our lives. A source of profound knowledge, a sort of secret diary in the minds of each of us". top: Sichuan pepper, incense, Pimenta aracemosa (bay rum) heart: periploca graeca (silk vine), cypriol (cyperus oil), patchouli base: ambranum, Z11, Cistus ladanifer (rock rose), sandalwood
