Amouage has introduced Opus XV King Blue, a new addition to the Library Collection.

Irreverently playing with the idea of ‘blue’ scents – perfumes with decidedly conventional personalities, much like the suit-wearing figure in The Art Of Living – Opus XV opens with a bright, innocent mandarin. Pink pepper adds an attention-grabbing sparkle, while blackcurrant accentuates its sharpness. But soon, a different tune begins to play.

The sensual tones of amber link to the mandarin. Oak chips introduce woodiness. And before we know where we are, the oud has pounced – and holds us in its mesmerising spell.

Opus XV King Blue was developed by perfumers Alexis Grugeon and Hamid Merati-Kashani. Additional notes include frankincense, sandalwood, patchouli and leather.

Amouage Opus XV King Blue is available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum, $500.
