The best from the house of Amouage
Yes, it is a bold headline, because after all, this house has a lot to offer: Anniversary, Interlude, Reflection etc... All fine fragrances, but this one is something else... (the Library Collection is not worth mentioning except for the VI)

After the first spray, it was too prickly, too peppery for me. Only the incense in the background pleased. But after a few moments laurel and pepper retreat and nothing remains of the pungent spice mixture. The amber makes the fragrance softer, more cuddly and even has a sweetish character. Incense remains always present if only in the background.
Then comes for me the best part I can not even really describe:
The scent becomes waxy! I don't know where it comes from, but it gives a cuddly warm and enveloping feeling I didn't know before. Fortunately, it lasts at least 16+ hours on the skin and you can smell it on your clothes for days afterwards. The Sillage is also more than good. The first 4-6 hours it projects strongly and then weakens slowly.

I'm surprised that only 22% of the 70 owners are women here, because this inviting warm waxy dream is mega attractive and would look great on most women.

Sweet and animalic
Smells musky and sweet, very well blended.

Wonderful stuff that lasts for ages.

Very unique and opulent. To my nose Montale's Aoud Musk is very close to this.

Sillage, projection and lasting power are high.

Potent Amber; VERY Potent...
Opus VI opens with a peppery incense accord before quickly taking a backseat to the star of the scent... amber. The amber heart is super-potent and combines with frankincense to create an mildly spiced almost buttery almond undertone to the amber. Patchouli and sandalwood in the base complement the composition with just the faintest hint of sweetness, but the starring amber is never overly sweet throughout. Projection and longevity are both outstanding.

Wow, this is one potent scent! The first time I applied it I put just the smallest dab on my arm and it projected like crazy. It is obvious that one spray of this guy is all you need. Apart from its crazy strength, the amber really is well-done and Amouage has paired it rather nicely with the frankincense and mild spices. My primary gripe with the composition is it is just a bit *too* strong, even in small doses making it somewhat difficult to wear anywhere so versatility is lacking. That said, if amber is your thing this one is well worth a sniff. In my case it is just too much, but Opus VI still earns a good to very good rating of 3 to 3.5 stars out of 5. The best I have smelled of the lesser known Opus Series.

The opulence is dead and OPUS VI has left the building.
Sadly, this once beautiful masterpiece has been refomulated and making it a pale ghost of the Majestic scent it once was. Everything that contributed to the making of this once opulent scent is gone. Amouage sucks!

Amouage Opus VI
Sadly , this is not in production anymore . Somehow the new creative director decided to change the face of the Opus Collection and discontinue a few along the way.
A creation that was meant to represent the destruction and reinvention of knowledge and memories. A great description nonetheless ,but for me this is an opulent oriental amber the sophisticated omani incense coupled with the usual Amouage spices.
Longevity and projection are huge with this one so spray carefully .

Perfume with many faces. Starts fresh, spicy with pepper and soft incense, over time it becomes sweet, ambery and woody. Magnificent.

A slightly smoky, yet fresh and powdery/soapy, metallic spicy-green Mid season fragrance, balanced by a soft earthy resinous-woody base.
