Opus XV King Blue by Amouage is a fragrance that defies convention. Released in 2023 as part of the prestigious Library Collection, this creation by perfumers Alexis Grugeon and Hamid Merati-Kashani offers a bold and modern interpretation of oud, blending Eastern tradition with contemporary nuances.
The composition opens with vibrant notes of mandarin and blackcurrant, bringing a fresh and fruity introduction. However, the heart quickly reveals rich notes of amber and incense, adding a resinous and spicy warmth. The core of the fragrance is dominated by Assam oud, known for its intense and slightly animalic character, combined with leather and woods like oak and sandalwood, creating a deep and enveloping base.
Despite its name, King Blue is not a "blue" fragrance in the traditional sense. It doesn’t feature dominant aquatic or citrus notes. Instead, it offers a deep and complex olfactory experience, where the fruity top notes give way to a smoky, woody background. This reversed evolution, where lighter notes emerge after the more intense ones, is one of the fragrance’s most distinctive features.
With a 35% concentration of essential oils, Opus XV King Blue delivers notable projection and exceptional longevity, easily lasting over 12 hours on the skin. It is an ideal choice for those seeking a bold and sophisticated scent that combines the richness of oud with a modern, distinctive touch.
In short, Opus XV King Blue is a contemporary masterpiece that pays homage to the art of oriental perfumery, offering a unique and unforgettable sensory experience.
