AmouageOpus V Woods Symphony
Velvety orris and sharp agarwood carving a path through classic florals
Orris concrete and absolute dominate the opening, casting a thick, powdery veil that feels almost tangible. This waxy, earthy texture eventually yields to a heartbeat of pressed rose and jasmine, grounding the composition in floral tradition. Beneath this sits a surprising tension: a deep, resinous agarwood spiked with civet. The result is a sharp, spicy, and woody pull that lingers on the skin for hours, shedding the sweetness of the petals to reveal a dry, animalic architecture.
