The House of Amouage is delighted to announce the launch of The Amouage Library Collection, a trio of remarkable, precious fragrances that celebrate integrity, originality and virtuosity. Devised by the House's Creative director, Christopher Chong, the three fragrances were inspired by the recollections and fragments that collectively represent a tome of memories. The name of the collection is drawn from the notion of the hidden treasures in a library; a notion that kindles our desire to discover, to learn.

Collectively, The Amouage Library Collection is a poetic homage to the art of living. Each fragrance has been given a "code", an Opus number, reflecting its status as a completed work within a greater collection. The three fragrances defy categorization, transcend gender and allow the wearer to create their own unique narrative. These are timeless classics, born of the age-old art of haute parfumerie.

AMOUAGE OPUS I - A glorious Chypre fragrance, built around a warm, floral heart of Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Rose, Lily of the Valley and Tuberose. Top Notes of Bigarade, Plum and Cardamom add spice and individuality, whilst woody base notes of Guaiac, Cedar and Sandalwood, along with Tonka Bean, Vetiver and the House's signature note of Frankincense provide an epic and bold closing chapter. The narrative, olfactory evolution of this fragrance was inspired by the start of a pilgrimage in search of knowledge.

AMOUAGE OPUS II - A majestic Fougere inspired by the heady and evocative fragrances of old books, dark wooden shelves and antique armchairs. Amouage Opus II opens with a rare and magical combination of Pepper, Pink Bay, Absinth and Lavender in the top notes. These notes unfurl to reveal a heart of Jasmine, Rose, Cinnamon and Cardamom. The base of Cedarwood, Amber, Frankincense and Patchouli conclude the fragrance with a soft, smoky, masculinity that contrast beautifully with the floral heart notes.

AMOUAGE OPUS III - Inspired by the art and science of the creative process, from the darkest moments of frustration, to the brightness of enlightenment and discovery. This radiant Floral Oriental fragrance is built around daring heart notes of Violet, Jasmine, Orange Blossom and Ylang Ylang. These are introduced perfectly by top notes of Carnation, Broom, Mimosa, Nutmeg and Thyme. The vibrancy of the fragrance in anchored by earthy notes of Ambrette Seed, Papyrus Benzoin, Frankincense and a trilogy of woods in the base.

NEW! DECEMBER 2010 - AMOUAGE OPUS IV available now! Top notes of Lemon, Mandarin, Grapefruit and Coriander Oil with a heart of Elemi Oil, Cardamom, Cumin, Rose Berries, Rose and Violet Leaves and a complimentary base of Labdanum, Frankincense and Musk.

The 100 ml bottle is made of the finest glass crystal in France. Inspired by the shape of a small book, it is refined with clean lines, gentle curves and very much a contemporary classic. Each bottle is adorned with a gold label simply declaring Opus and the number of the fragrance in roman numerals. The metal cap is gold-plated with the very regal and distinctive Amouage shield resting on the top protected under a transparent coat. The box is reminiscent of a tome (a volume of scholarly book). To complement the bottle's contemporary classic look, the box is covered in champagne coloured fabric to give it an illustrious appearance. It is adorned vertically with a thin black ribbon with a sticker of the shield of Amouage sealing the opening of the box.
