Opus XIII Silver Oud by Amouage

Inspired by Stendhal's 19th-century novel The Red and the Black and its bold, ambitious hero Julien Sorel, Opus XIII Silver Oud tells a story of struggle, strength and life's most vivid moments. Part of the Amouage Library Collection, it was created by perfumer Cécile Zarokian as a woody, ambery Eau de Parfum that puts precious oud right at its heart.

It opens with rich patchouli, cypriol and Virginia cedar. In the heart, Assam oud meets smooth Madagascar vanilla. The base settles into warm amber, birch, guaiac wood and castoreum for a deep, lasting finish.
