Amouage Opus XI ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 14 December 2018 9 Comments

Amouage has launched Opus XI, the latest fragrance in the niche brand’s Library Collection. 

The 11th volume of Amouage’s Library Collection, Opus XI is a romantic and cinematic scent that traces the origins of fake news – focusing on the exploration of the Middle East and Asia in the 18th and 19th century, as lands of mystery and exoticism. This dynamic composition combines oud with rich dark opaque attributes. Top notes of Marjoram are mixed with styrax in the base, while the addition of wood-leather provides a smoky and powerful sign off.

Amouage Opus XI is available now at Selfridges, £260 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

    Nice bottle color! I have never explored the Opuses (Opi?) and this is not compelling me to start.

      This one isn’t compelling me either, but Library Collection discovery set is. They have it on the Amouage website. ?

      I just LOVE Opus VIII which I think is one of the most liked and well-regarded, and I have tried most of the others. I bought a FB of Opus VIII and wear it often. This one looks interesting to me too.

    I thought we already did XI. I’m doing a poor job of keeping track.

    A perfume now can be “about” fake news? Hmmmm….. That’s some pretty heavy-duty semantics going on there.

    The one thing turning me off is the 100ml size.
