Amouage presents a new luxury collection, The Library Collection, which includes three scents - Opus I, Opus II and Opus III. All three fragrances are created as timeless olfactory adventures that pay no attentions to current trends. The collection is not classified by gender - these designs are intended to highlight the quality of the essences and glorify the act of creativity, skill and art.

Christopher Chong, the creative director of Amouage, is credited with creating this collection. The new fragrances represent memories as their very names are associated with the library in which we find many hidden treasures that lead to ongoing research and study. The Library Collection is essentially a poetic homage to the art of living.

The composition of Opus I fragrance is characterized as a chypre, created by the perfumer Daniel Maurel. It opens with Bigarade notes, plum and cardamom, while a flowering heart awakens all our senses with rose, jasmine, tuberose, ylang-ylang and lily of the valley. The base adds elegant rich shades of papyrus, cedar, giauac wood, incense, tonka, sandalwood and vetiver.

Top notes: bitter orange, plum, cardamom,
Heart: rose, jasmine, ylang, tuberose, lily of the valley,
Base: papyrus, Cedar, Guaiac, incense, tonka bean, sandalwood and vetiver.


The composition of Opus II fragrance is a fougere. This fragrance was created by the perfumer Michele Saramito. The olfactory journey begins with essential oils of lavender, wormwood, pink pepper and bay leaves. In the heart are floral aromas of jasmine and rose spiced with cinnamon and cardamom, while the base features cedar, amber, musk, incense and patchouli.

Top notes: lavender, wormwood, laurel, pink pepper.
Heart: jasmine, rose, cinnamon, cardamom,
Base: cedar, amber, musk, frankincense, patchouli.


Opus III is the third fragrance of the luxurious Amouage Library Collection, created by perfumer Karine Vinchon-Spehn. Floral notes of mimosa and broom introduce us into the world of this composition, together with cloves, nutmeg and thyme. Violet, jasmine, ylang-ylang and orange blossom essences are the heart. The base is created with rich oriental notes of ambrette, papyrus, musk, notes of cedar wood, sandalwood and Guaiac, with the warm embrace of balsamic benzoin and soft vanilla.

Top notes: mimosa, broom, clove, nutmeg, thyme.
Heart: violet, jasmine, ylang, orange blossom,
Base: ambrette, papyrus, musk, cedar, guaiac, sandalwood, benzoin, vanilla.
