About This Perfume
Amouage Opus XV King Blue smells like precious wood smoke with bright citrus and incense warmth. Blackcurrant, mandarin orange and pink pepper open it, fruity and sparkling. Amber and frankincense fill the heart with resin and glow. The base is dense and dark: Assam oud, leather, oak wood, patchouli and sandalwood. Released in 2023, it is unisex with woody, leathery, smoky and resinous accords.
It is a night scent for spring, fall and winter, and the community points it at nights out. This is a serious, strong wood and oud composition at a luxury price. It is also divisive, and the community rates it low for blind buying, so smelling it first is the sensible move.
It lasts a long time and fills a room. The community flags that it needs maceration, so let a new bottle rest for a while before you judge it.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: experienced oud and leather lovers looking for a statement evening scent.
- Sample first if: you have not worn Assam oud or animalic leather before.
- Skip if: you want something soft, fresh or office-friendly.
Around $550.

Across that same mapped set, woody is the top accord (47%), followed by amber (37%), warm-spiced (25%), fresh-spicy (19%), and aromatic (19%), giving the house a rich, resinous, woody-amber signature typical of niche luxury perfumery. Sandalwood, rose, and patchouli lead on notes, with frankincense and labdanum close behind. Prices run $80 to $590, with a $395 median, the highest of any brand on Scendira and well above mass-market Arabic houses.

Is Amouage Right for You?
Best for: shoppers who want niche, prestige-tier Arabic perfumery, with a resinous woody-amber-incense signature and a $395 median price. Sample first if: you're new to niche pricing; Amouage sits well above mass-market Arabic houses, so a decant or sample is the lower-risk way in. Skip if: you're working with a budget under $80; Amouage's entire catalogue starts above that floor.
