About This Perfume
The Library Collection Opus III by Amouage is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men. The Library Collection Opus III was launched in 2010. The nose behind this fragrance is Karine Vinchon Spehner. Top notes are Mimosa, Nutmeg, Clove, Dyer’s Greenweed and Thyme; middle notes are Violet, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine and African Orange Flower; base notes are Benzoin, Vanille, Sandalwood, Guaiac Wood, Musk, Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Papyrus and Virginia Cedar. Amouage presents a new luxury collection The Library Collection, which includes three scents - Opus I, Opus II and Opus III. All three fragrances are created as timeless olfactory adventures that pay no attentions to current trends. The collection is not classified by gender - these designs are intended to highlight the quality of the essences and glorify the act of creativity, skill and art. Christopher Chong, the creative director of Amouage, is credited for creating this collection. The new fragrances represent the memories as their very names are associated with the library in which many hidden treasures that lead us to ongoing research and study are hidden. The Library Collection is essentially a poetic homage to the art of living. Opus III is the third fragrance of the luxurious Amouage Library Collection, created by the perfumer Karine Vinchon Spehner. Floral notes of mimosa and broom introduce us into the world of this composition, together with cloves, nutmeg and thyme. Violet, jasmine, ylang-ylang and orange blossom essences are t the heart. The base is created with rich oriental notes of ambrette, papyrus, musk, notes of cedar wood, sandalwood and Guaiac, with the warm embrace of balsamic benzoin and soft vanilla.
