A unisex fragrance to help you discover the perilous world of electronic miracles

Whilst nature is breathing outside our windows, we spend our days in a world of buzzing electronics, a world of ones and zeros. The unisex Amouage Opus V: Woods Symphony Eau de Parfum took its inspiration from the binary world and the co-existence of people and inanimate machines. Its woody aroma with floral notes and an intoxicating whiff of rum evokes the transformative yet perilous power of knowledge.

Composition of the fragrance
The fragrance welcomes you with the earthy, almost cooling notes of iris root, which is interwoven with the heady, juicy essence of rum. Gradually, a whiff of pure nature creeps in through the sweet, fresh fragrance of rose and jasmine. You’ll experience a musky, civet aroma mixed with the rich, light nutty accent of agarwood.

Story of the fragrance
Although the Amouage Opus V: Woods Symphony Eau de Parfum bears the name ‘woods symphony’, it actually embodies the forest of electronic components with which we surround ourselves every day. Through this original Eau de Parfum, the parfumier Jacques Cavallier depicts the binary world of black and white digits, data streams and lit-up screens. With this fragrance he tells a very modern story of human society, fragmented by the unprecedented flow of information in cyberspace.

The sumptuous scent of Amouage is characterised by its uniqueness and its totally distinctive elegance. The independent brand with luxury niche perfumes now has its headquarters in London, but its roots reach into the depths of the Middle East.

Amouage draws inspiration from the rich and varied heritage of its place of origin – the Sultanate of Oman. The brand was founded in 1983 by His Excellency Sayyid Hamad bin Hamoud Al Busaidi, a member of the Omani royal family, on the basis of his decision to revive the glory of Arabian fragrances. The brand’s philosophy is to create perfumes with truly artistic value. Amouage strictly selects only the finest exotic ingredients, including silver incense from Oman, the unique Oman rose and myrrh.

Amouage’s niche perfumes are put together in Grasse, Southern France, which is considered the global capital of perfumes, thus providing a guarantee of the highest standards. The perfumes then travel to Oman for production, where the maceration of the ingredients takes about two months. To finish, all the Amouage perfumes undergo the highest quality checks and are packaged almost exclusively by hand.
