The Library Collection Opus III, from Amouage was released in 2010. The perfumer behind this creation is Karine Vinchon Spehner. It has the top notes of Cloves, Dyer's Greenweed, Mimosa, Nutmeg, and Thyme, middle notes of Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Violet, and Ylang-Ylang, and base notes of Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Benzoin, Cedarwood, Guaiac Wood, Musk, Papyrus, Sandalwood, and Vanilla.
I tried this a while back but reserved judgement for when I had a wearable sample. Just not to my taste Opus III. The mimosa although not entirely unpleasant, is just not my bag baby. It's quite vanilla really I get the ylang ylang too and all in all it's a complex fragrance. It reminds me of when I used to collect samples on a weekly basis from a wet wipe company to test in my lab. This is very reminiscent of what the factory smelled like...and I'm not be cruel to Opus III the smell was complex and quite nice really. It's a clean smell which has not spicy tricks up its sleeve like the typical Amouage thing, also this has a vague synthetic banana thing much like reflection man. Luckily that goes away in the dry down in fact everything dies down and you're left with an agreeable if not a little floral smell.
