Amouage Opus V Woods Symphony Eau de Parfum

What it is: A floral and woody fragrance inspired by the classical and modern methods of disseminating knowledge.

Fragrance story: Abstract buttery notes of iris concrete, fleshy hues of rose and pallid tones of immaculate jasmine paint a binary world of black numbers over white screens, of glass shards, concrete towers and data humming behind metal desks. The raw, raspy animality of agarwood, paired with a plastic note of civet slowly comes forth, pushed by a dry wood accord—the scent of salty skin, heating under neon lights. The scent of humans, living together with machines. A dry and mineral orris, yet miraculously soothing and carnal, Opus V is a modern tale of societies fragmented by the way knowledge travels on the internet.
