Amouage Opus VI Eau de Parfum is a smouldering study in modern amber that opens with aromatic sparks of frankincense, West Indian bay, and Sichuan pepper before settling into a dense, resinous heart and a plush golden base. Conceived within Amouage’s Library Collection as an exploration of memory and heartbreak, it fuses classic balsams with contemporary amber molecules for a powerful yet refined signature that reads confident and elegant on him.

Story & Positioning
Opus VI is framed as an amber built to express the destruction and reinvention of memory, a theme that aligns with the Library Collection’s mission to celebrate creativity and knowledge. It is often discussed as a rich amber incense option for collectors and enthusiasts. In 2022, Amouage reshaped the Library Collection around four chapters, making earlier volumes like Opus VI more of a connoisseur’s find. If you appreciate plush ambers with incense, you may also enjoy or find parallels with Dior Mitzah, Bentley for Men Intense, frequently compared by the community.
Bottle & Design
Opus VI arrives in the Library Collection flacon, a rounded rectangular glass bottle in an elegant ivory tone with a smooth satin finish that feels substantial in the hand. A polished cylindrical cap with vertical striations crowns the flacon, while a horizontal metallic plaque carries the AMOUAGE name. The bottle typically rests on a gilded base stamped Library Collection, and it is presented in a rigid book-style coffret in white with black banding and sun seal medallions in gold, echoing the literary theme.
