The Library Collection Opus V

A highly complex, unisex fragrance centered on a dry, powdery iris that opens with a bold, boozy rum and masculine oud, settling into a refined, woody floral heart. The scent features a strong sillage and remarkable longevity, progressing through distinct phases: an initially sharp, metallic, and slightly synthetic opening with a prominent iris note, followed by a lush, powdery floral heart of rose, jasmine, and iris, then a deep, animalic, musky dry down featuring civet and woodsy oud. Despite its bold projection and performance, it fades into a persistent, single-note ambroxan skin scent over time. The fragrance balances elegance with mystery, shifting gradually from its initial balsamic, sweet opening to a more mature, animalic, and introspective base. Its unique character appeals to those seeking a daring, memorable olfactory journey, though its intensity and transformation may be overwhelming for some. The scent is best worn in cold weather and serves as a signature piece for those drawn to niche, complex creations. While traditionally associated with autumn and winter, it may be reinterpreted as a luxurious, formal nighttime scent rather than a seasonal staple.
