Amouage Opus XIII Silver Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Cécile Zarokian. Opus XIII Silver Oud opens with Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Cedar, and Patchouli, settles into a heart of Ambroxan, and dries down to a base of Guaiac Wood, Birch, and Castoreum. Amouage's Opus XIII Silver Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Prepare yourself: Silver Oud is an absolute beast. This is a "love it or hate it" fragrance that polarizes like mad, with some calling it a masterpiece and others declaring it an abomination. For serious oud lovers only, and definitely not a blind buy.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its overwhelming intensity and animalic accords, Silver Oud is ill-suited for the office or casual daytime wear. It's best reserved for formal events or evening dates where its bold, luxurious, and long-lasting nature can make a statement without suffocating a room.

About

Amouage's Silver Oud hits you with a potent, smoky, and resinous blend right off the bat, dominated by intense oud and a rich, leathery depth. Cypriol and patchouli give it an earthy, almost animalic quality that settles into a robust, woody drydown. Expect a dark, complex aroma with hints of birch and guaiac wood, softened by a touch of balsam and a surprising phantom sweetness in the air.
