    Well this ones sounds interesting, but why all the synthetic notes??? I love Opus III, so this one will be a must try for me .

      I sincerely doubt it has any more synthetic notes than any amber perfume — they are just listing the actual molecules they used, which most companies don’t do.

    I just tried this one the other day while in Oman and it is lovely, highly wearable. I get a sort of rose out of it but perhaps I am wrong. This has the Amouage sillage so be warned but it is part of what I love. The SA sprayed my Amouage goody bag down with it and after a week it still smells like something I’d love to wear.
    Needless to say I am on their mailing list and eagerly awaiting info on their yearly sale day.

      Just nabbed this in Dubai… if there are requests, it appears I will be here for a while so let me know.
      I get woods at first and a hint of sweetness. I smell the amber but its not like Blue Amber. It feels deeper a bit darker. If it were candy, I’d say you burnt it or “caramelized” it. On the whole it feels powdery but not in a sad L’heure Bleue sort of way and perhaps its a vanilla? Oud or things posing as ouds tend to turn plummy on me and at times they are more a rum raisin note (odd I know)… YSL’s M7 on me does that too. I don’t smell the incense but others clearly say they do. Here and there I get hints of patchouli… All of this is in the first half hour and I am sure this beauty will change given time. it’s beautiful, not the rose as I thought it was but still wearable and I swear there’s something floral happening there amid the spices… very much so.
      I think I find this one much like Opus III it its being easy to wear. It’s loud but Amouage is and that only means a bottle will last forever. I find that Opus V fights between iris and woody notes and that fight can get a bit tiring.
      It’s cool just now and the scent seems fine. We expect a thunderstorm followed by a taste of desert heat… I will experiment with my co-workers noses and let you know how it goes. I imagine this isn’t necessarily something you’d want to work in your garden in but it might due when riding the train through Dubai.
