Opus XII Rose Incense

Opus XII Rose Incense by Amouage is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with elemi and frankincense, moves into damask rose, suede and frankincense and dries down to myrrh, vanilla, sandalwood and cedarwood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
• Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.

Heart

• Damask Rose The rich, jammy, honeyed rose. Deep and slightly wine-like.
• Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
• Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.

Dry-down

• Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
• Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
