Real talk
This is the Amouage for people who find the usual Amouage too much. Powdery, restrained, almost monastic, until the civet kicks in and it isn't. A fascinating split personality that rewards patience.The Library Collection Opus V
Powdery florals with an animalic kick. The rum opening surprises, but it's the civet that stays with you, threaded through the heart, refusing to let the iris go pretty.Optus V
