Amouage Opus XIII Silver Oud Eau de Parfum

Inspired by the themes expressed in "The Red and the Black," especially the concepts of Confusion, Passion, and Destruction, Silver Oud is a manifestation of the tension between idealism and realism, the contradiction between thought and feeling, and the power of mimetic desire.

Opening with the molecular distillation of patchouli, cypriol oil, and Virginia cedar oil, the confusion lies in the absence of the expected top note. Instead, a great diversity of wood types comes to the forefront, announcing a profound evolution. At the heart of the creation, the exquisitely rich Assam oud oil dances in unison with the deep Madagascar vanilla absolute, forming a beautiful duet of contrasts. Meanwhile, Ambrarome, Birch Oil, Guaiac Wood Oil, and Castoreum leave a dark imprint on the skin, with smoky woody shades blending into an endless finale.
