The Library Collection Opus X

Amouage The Library Collection Opus X is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. The Library Collection Opus X opens with Rose, settles into a heart of Resin, Leather, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Mineral, Ambroxan, Oud, and Ylang-Ylang. Amouage's The Library Collection Opus X carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

Divisive, challenging, and utterly unique, Opus X is for those who dare to embrace the unusual. It’s a metallic rose for niche enthusiasts, not for the faint of heart or anyone seeking a crowd-pleaser.

Formal

Its bold, assertive character and metallic rose accord make it too avant-garde for an office setting and unsuitable for casual wear or sport. Opus X shines brightest for unique date nights or formal events where making a distinctive, unconventional statement is desired.

About

Opus X smacks you with a vivid, crimson rose, not soft or dewy, but sharp and almost industrial. This isn't a walk in grandma's garden; it's a rose found in a sculptor's studio, mingling with metallic shavings and the ghost of fresh varnish. Geranium adds a green, slightly tart edge, while the base grounds it with hints of worn leather, mineral facets, and a whisper of smoky oud, creating a compellingly strange beauty.
