by Jacques Flori

Amouage The Library Collection Opus IV is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Jacques Flori. The fragrance opens with Coriander, Grapefruit, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Caraway, Violet Leaf, and Rose Hip, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Musk, and Incense.

Our verdict on The Library Collection Opus IV: Acquired

This one's a divisive spice bomb that people either adore for its rich, complex warmth and commanding presence, or instantly recoil from its potent cumin. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it affair, particularly if you're sensitive to pungent culinary notes.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and longevity, this isn't one for the office, where its potent spice could be overwhelming. It's well-suited for dates and formal occasions due to its complex, luxurious character, but too intense for casual daytime wear or sports.

About

Opus IV opens with a sharp, invigorating blast of grapefruit and lemon, quickly spiced up by the intriguing freshness of coriander. As it settles, a warm, aromatic heart emerges with caraway, cardamom, and the subtle floral nuance of violet leaf and rose. The base delivers a long-lasting spiritual grounding, weaving together smoky incense, deep labdanum, and a clean musk to create a truly enveloping and mysterious sillage.
