Opus v – Woods Symphony, from Amouage was released in 2011. The perfumer behind this creation is Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. It has the top notes of Orris Root and Rum, middle notes of Jasmine, Orris Root, and Rose, and base notes of Agarwood (Oud), Civet, and Dry Wood.
Top: Orris Absolute, Rhum Heart: Orris Concrete, Rose, Jasmine Base: Agarwood, Civet, Dry Wood Accord Woods Symphony is soothing and attractive, beautiful and sophisticated, it’s like a fragile watercolor painting compared to other scents in Opus collection. I think it’s the reason why it’s a hidden gem. People love Opus collection because of very bold and edgy juices and this is totally different. It’s not weak anyway - Woods Symphony is light yet long lasting with good projection. It was totally coincidence that I found this. My dear friend bought this one earlier and after checking it I knew it would be a big love for me. Powdery Orris with a little bit sweet Rum is irresistible, Rose and Jasmine makes the blend somewhat traditional and very classy while woody base with a hint of Oud and Civet brings the glamour of some vintage perfumes. Still the concoction is very youthful. So beautiful and perfect for any occasion and any weather! Thank you for reading and if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
