Amouage 2011 EDT
The Library Collection Opus V
by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud
Amouage The Library Collection Opus V is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. The Library Collection Opus V opens with Iris and Rum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Oud, and Civet. Amouage's The Library Collection Opus V carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.
A polarising, powerhouse iris that divides opinion like few others. Some adore its boozy, powdery embrace, hailing it as a masterpiece of opulent seduction. Others recoil from perceived synthetic harshness or an overbearing industrial aura. Definitely try before you buy.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Given its strong projection and longevity, this is best reserved for formal events or date nights where its luxurious character can shine without overwhelming. It's too potent for casual wear or the office, as many reviewers suggest it can be 'choking' if over-sprayed.
Declarable allergens
We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.
In standard patch-test panels
- Geraniol
The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
