The Library Collection Opus VI, from Amouage was released in 2012. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Incense, Sichuan Pepper, and West Indian Bay, middle notes of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Patchouli, and Silk Vine or Milk Broom, and base notes of Amber, Labdanum, and Sandalwood.
Hmmm...Kind of boozy right out of the bottle, reminded me of a kilian rum opening that dies away quickly and it becomes an all too familiar amber/incense fragrance. I think that booziness is the amber and sharpness from the labnanum perhaps? Stings my nose a little but I quite like it, has that kingly vibe. Could've sworn there would be oud & rose in here but not according to the notes listed. Not up to par for Amouage's flair for individuality but as a fragrance very nice and they(by they I mean different perfumers everytime) can't come up with something totally unique on each outing...and I completely understand it. For me this is quite similar to two recent additions to my collection, By Kilian Incense Oud and striaght to heaven which share some similar notes (including cardamom which I think is in here.) As this dries down it's less like a rose/oud thing and more of deep amber vibe on reflection.
