    Opus VIII is a spicy oriental aromatic. At first, it seems to have great potential, smelling it from the bottle. But once you spray it on, it turns into some other essence entirely, almost like that of an animal’s cage. Can’t imagine what kind of horror story they’re trying to tell here, but I get something like out of scene of the Amazon. Stale botanicals, with this resinous, hay-like, straw-like essence doesn’t distinctly strike you as anything as much as it does uncomfortably animalic.
    I would say that formula is all west Indian bay and vetiver, which comes off to me like some kind of basket sword reference.
    And with that said, I’d just like to add, “Well, I’m gonna break! I’m gonna break my! I’m gonna break my rusty caaaaagggeee‒and ruuuuuuunnnnn.” Exactly the interpretation I get here. The Sultan of Oman is suggesting that his reign is like imprisonment in ways, and that his plan is to get the people to denounce him from the throne by releasing a bunch of bad perfumes. I’d swear that there’s also a monkey reference here as well, as by his aesthetics (in true Arab spirit), he seems like the type of guy that others would liken to a monkey in their jokes.
    A sad story, but my best interpretation for a fragrance that at first seems to have so much potential, only to turn out to be utterly unenjoyable by all means. The stuff is super potent too, and just sticks to the skin like flies on s***. You can try to scrub it off all you want but you just can’t get rid of it. Try to spray over it, but it just permeates right through. Definitely recommended to try before you buy, and be extremely cautious with your sampling as well.

    This is my ultimate happiness scent. It literally gives me good mood almost instantly. From moment I tried it first time over 2 years ago it evokes image of sunflower field and bright blue sky on sunny early Autumn day. Have no idea why.
    It is not my favorite Amouage perfume to wear it on myself, although I do like it a lot for this purpose too, but I’m carrying 2 ml decant of it in my bag all the time just to open cup and smell it.
    I cannot even (nor want!) to analyze it, just enjoying it.
    I will only say that longevity and projection is above Amouage average, and their average is enormous!

    The Library collection is an amazingly complex collection of fragrances. what I love especially about OpusVIII is that it is such an unique scent with how it acts on skin. The beauty of Amouage Fragrances is how they take you on a long lasting journey. It offers the wearer a chance to escape. The star of this scent is the jasmine and the quality that comes through. I enjoy especially how this scent there are clashes between the spiciness and the floral notes. The opening is especially warm and ginger comes trough gradually warming.
    What appeals to me is that at time there is conflict in this scent while other times there is harmony. It is a scent that forever morphs into something else. For some they will love and for others they will have concerns. Wearing this masterpiece is always a joy and with every wearing something new can be learnt.

    A hidden beauty! Absolutely wonderful, a creamy benzoin-guaiac base coming after a middle flowery phase. Ok, the start is not so easy-wearing, very spicy and hard, but it just lasts five minutes and makes the following steps more shining and enjoyable.
    My next purchase for sure.

    Opus VIII has a lovely white floral opening. The top notes lead with jasmine but the ylang ylang is in there. The floral notes do not totally blend together. Instead, they are detectable in a way that has them dancing around playing nicely together versus becoming one. Sometimes this one opens with the woody notes in the opening. No idea why it changes each time I wear it, but that is just fine by me.
    The middle notes are softer, add vetiver and smell a bit minty in a good way. This is the part of the perfume that I enjoy the most.
    The sillage is medium to heavy, and the longevity is more than 10 hours.
    I have worn this four times now. I like it even more each wearing.

    اپوس 8 ؛ عطری با کیفیتی خارق العاده و بسیار طبیعی
    عطر اپوس 8 با نتهای گلی کارش رو آغاز میکنه. درست در زمان اسپری عطر؛ بویی که استشمام میشه؛ عطر شکوفه ی پرتقال هست که به نحو شگفت انگیزی طبیعی است. این رایحه
    تا 5 دقیقه کاملا بصورت تنها وجود داره و بعد از 5 دقیقه گل یاس به این نت افزوده میشه. کیفیت رایحه در این مرحله بصورت اعجاب آوری طبیعیه. اینجانب در دوران بچگی در حیاط
    منزل گل یاس به مقدار زیادی داشتیم. هر موقع که من از کنار گیاه مربوطه رد میشدم؛ عطر یاس رو تجربه میکردم. حالا هم پس از بوییدن نت ابتدایی عطر دقیقا اون فضا برایم تداعی
    میشه. رایحه ی یاس اونقدر در این مرحله با کیفیته که کوچکترین تفاوتی با رایحه ی اصلی گل یاس نداره و شما به هیچ عنوان و بدون هیچ شکی؛ یه رایحه ی سنتتیک برایتون تداعی نمیشه
    اپوس 8 بعد از یک ساعت وارد نت میانی خودش میشه. در اینجا فضایی که بیشتر چوبی است و به مقدار خیلی کمتری دودی است رو تجربه خواهید کرد. رایحه ی دودی مربوطه اصلا
    سنگین نیست. بلکه به پخته شدن عطر در این مرحله کمک میکنه و باعث میشه که یک بالانس خیلی خوبی بین نتهای گلی و چوبی برقرار کنه. البته در این مرحله؛ روایحی که از نتهای
    اولیه وجود داشتند؛ کامل از بین نمیره و تعادل خوبی بین رایحه ی گلی و رایحه ی چوبی؛ دودی برقرار میشه
    شرکت عطر سازی آمواژ در اکثر کارهایش بسیار هوشمندانه عمل کرده. از تولید عطر مهندسی ساخته شده ی اپوس 5 گرفته؛ تا همین اپوس 8 که مورد بررسی است. اپوس 8 عطری
    یونیسکس در نظر گرفته شده؛ در حالیکه شما در صورت بوییدن نتهای اولیه عطرممکنه بگید که این عطر کاملا زنانه هست. البته تقریبا هم همینطوره. تا یک ساعت اول انگار شما در
    باغی پر از گلهای یاسمن قرار دارید و حسی که تا یک ساعت اول القا میکنه؛ کاملا حس زنانگی هست. ولی بعد از یک ساعت قضیه کاملا فرق میکنه. اضافه شدن نتهایی که بیشتر در
    عطرهای مردانه افزوده میشوند (مثل نتهای چوبی و دودی) عطر رو به سمت مردانه شدن حرکت میده و این باعث میشه که تحلیل کننده ی عطر دیگه دهانش برای اعتراض که این عطر
    یونیسکس در نظر گرفته شده؛ در حالیکه کاملا زنانه هست ( چیزی که شاید در مورد اپوس یک در نظر گرفته میشه) ؛ بسته میشه!! ا
    وقتی که حدود 2 ساعت که از عمر عطر میگذره؛ اون شدت و قوتی که نتهای گلی داشتند؛ کاهش پیدا میکنه (ولی تا انتهای کار از بین نمیره) و اون حالت چوبی و مختصر دودی همچنان
    وجود داره و عطر کمی در این مرحله ادویه ای هم میشه. علت اون هم وجود زنجبیل در نتهای عطر هست که کمی حس ادویه ای هم علاوه بر حس چوبی دودی در فرد استشمام کننده؛ القا میکنه
    در مرحله ی نتهای پایانی؛ تغییر در روند نتهای بویایی اپوش 8 مشهود نیست
    عطر اپوس 8 در مجموع بیشتر برای بهار مناسبه و به علت حس دودی ضعیفی که در نتهای میانی اش داره (شاید به علت وجود گیاه خس خس باشه) به عقیده ی من عطری است که در
    بهار و حداکثر تا دهه ی اول خرداد قابل استفاده هست و از اون به بعد این نتهای میانی عطر؛ میتونند آزار دهنده باشند

    اپس هشت عطر راحت الهضم و بی دردسری هست
    خط و نشان و شلوغی که در سایر عطرهای صمغی امواج هست اینجا خبری نیست
    ترکیب گل یاس و سایر گلها با صمغها که خصلت وحشی صمغا را گرفته است و به یه کار ارام و بی دردسر تبدیل کرده که استفاده اش برای تمامی مناسبها و لحظات مناسب است ترکیبات ادویه و گرمی هم وجود دارند که درحد بالانس عطر هستند
    اپس هشت شاید کمی یاداور عطرای قدیمی باشد ولی با این حال بدیع و بی شباهت هست همیشه فکر میکنید شبیه یه عطری بوده است ولی چیزی به ذهنتان نمی اید
    نافذ ، اندکی صابونی و خوشبو
    3.5/5

    As soon as I sprayed it on my hand I told myself a very tiny decant saved me from an unsuccessful blindbuy,it’s nothing I can love and in such a price point I need to love a perfume in order to buy it
    It opens with a floral blast,not very heavy or heady florals but there’s something veryyy spicy/herbal covering flowers that I prevents me from thinking of it as a light and tender scent.actually I don’t know which note causes that toothpaste-like minty herbal sharpness.ginger is among my favorite spicy notes so I don’t think it’s responsible,I suspect it’s olibanum blended with ginger and saffron,since I don’t know how does olibanum smell I can’t say for sure
    I wanted to simply mark dislike and pass it but after half on hour that unpleasant sharpness calms down.now the most dominant note is jasmine,actually a soft and lovely one wrapped in creamy sweet benzoin and woods.this stage is pleasant to my nose unlike first minutes but now after couple of hours all I can pick up is jasmine+mint bubble gum!not bad but not something I’d like to smell like,I hate green,fresh,minty and herbal scents and this is the most dominant accord on my skin.I wish there was instead more sweet,balmy benzoin and woods.however it’s just me.lots of my friends love it and find it one of the most beautiful and wearable white florals
    Opus VIII is a mild to hot weather scent IMO,it’s wearable year round except in cold winters.longevity is amazing and sillage is very good.I find it in the feminine side of the track but if a guy is interested in white florals it would be a good choice

    “اوپِس 8”
    “اوپس 8” قوی ترین وبهترین عطر گُلی ادویه ای صمغی برمبنای رایحه جذاب یاس امین الدوله ست،
    ترکیبات بکار رفته در این عطر نهایت کیفیت و ظرافت رو داره، در ابتداء رایحه گلهای وحشی جنگلی ومقداری بوی ترنج رو استشمام میکنید حدودا 20 الی 30 دقیقه، بعد از این نوبت به رایحه بسیار قوی و فوق العاده یاس امین الدوله میرسه، یاس امین الدله همون یاس پیچک هست که در فصل اردیبشهت گلهای شیپوری کوچک با رنگ سفید و زرد و کرمی میده.
    عطار ماهر این عطر، درنهایت هنرمندی تونسته حال و هوای یه بعداز ظهر نیمه گرم رو تداعی کنه، آمیخته ای از رایحه کُندر و برخی ادویه ها بهمراه بوی طبیعی گل یاس خاطره باغ یا باغچه ای رو تداعی میکنه که بارون اومده باشه یا یه مقدار آب پاشی شده ، یه بوی فراگیر و بسیار قدرتمند برای ساعتهای زیادی حدودا 12 تا 14 ساعت این رایحه رو حس میکنید، اطرافیانتون بیشتر حس میکنن چون این عطر اینقدر قوی و باکیفیت هست که شامه شخصی که استفاده کرده رو تقریبا بی حس میکنه.
    پس از گذشت 14 ساعت یکمرتبه فقط بوی یاس بدون همراهی رایحه های دیگه به مشام میرسه، اینجا دیگه تنها رایحه یاس امین الدوله رو حس میکنید و پس از گذشت 3 تا 4 ساعت بوی شیرین و کمی شکلاتی(کاکائوئی) تونکا خاتمه این عطر میشه.
    پخش ودوام فوق تصوره ،خارق العاده ست.
    حتما این عطر رو تجربه کنید که یکی از بهترین و نادرترین ساخته های دست بشری ست.

    The fragrance is very floral smell yet Extremely soft and tender
    not special but it is high definition and just suitable for kind women
    In the end
    This perfume has a very good distribution of fragrance and longevity
    Thanks
    رویال عطر رو در گوگل سرچ کنید
    شروع کار یه نوع رایحه آروماتیک صابونی مانند به همراه یه شیرینی بسیار ضعیف خواهد بود
    مطمئنا وقتی عطر رو تست کنید شما رو یاد عطرهای فلورال قدیمی میندازه ولی زمانی نمیگذره که کلی رایحه فلورال به ترتیب با عطر ترکیب میشند و عطر رو کمی گرم و لطیف میکنند
    یه جور بوی ضعیف که تند و تیز و همچنین یکم نت اسپایسی ضعیف در پشت زمینه عطر قابل حس کردنه ولی خیلی ضعیفه و تغییر آنچنانی در روند لطیف و گلی و زنانه عطر نمیگذاره یه شیرینی مثل پودر وانیل جزو محتویات عطره درسته دزش بسیار پایینه ولی اگر این مقدار کم هم نبود به نظرم واقعا یه شاهکار میشد
    کار باکیفیتی هست و شخصا برای خانوما خیلی میپسندم این عطرو . چون در ترکیب روایح اصلا زیاده روی نشده
    و همه چیز به اندازه میکس شده
    معمولا عطرای فلورال زنانه یا زیادی شیرین هستند یا زیادی گلی و پودری ولی این عطر فوق العاده لطیف و ملایم هست
    ولی با این حال بسیار مقاوم و پخش بوی بسیار خوبی هم داره
    و میشه به جز تابستان در باقی فصول ازش استفاده کرد
    با این که خودم یکی از طرفدارهای عطرهای فلورال هستم ولی در این عطر کفه ترازو کاملا به نفع خانوم ها سنگینی میکنه
    بازم عرض میکنم که این عطر اصلا به درد آقایون محترم نمیخوره چون هیچ گونه حس مردانه ای در این عطر به نظرم وجود نداره
    ولی یه عطر بسیار باکیفیت و بی نهایت خوش بو برای خانوم هایی که روح لطیف و مهربانی دارند بسیار برازنده می باشد

    The verdict is in, and it’s a dislike for me. Opus 8 starts out as a screechy jasmine and orange flower perfume, and it contains hints of woods and saffron. It mellows out to become a bit less screechy over time, but on the whole it smells not only too chemical but too simple for my taste. I have been so enthusiastic over Amouage’s standard collection (I will stick with Ubar for my jasmine fix), and I wanted more of the same. More oomph, more complexity…more, more, more! I can see how this could be just the right white flower perfume for somebody out there, but I don’t believe it will please the majority of the Amouage groupies.

    More feminine than masculine. I dislike the fragrance intensely – very reminiscent of a poorly maintained nursing home. I threw my samples away after just two uses.

    Opus VIII is probably not as woodyamber-centered as others of the latest deliveries by Amouage (Opus VII and Opus V above all) but, to my nose, it still reads as a dry-woody / benzoin driven composition. This time, what seems to have now become the Amouage’s *leitmotiv*, is joined by a great floral presence while spices provide slightly dirty juxtapositions. There’s a watery element up top that might sound scary but works just great with the overall white / indolic aspect of the florals. Unfortunately, it all lasts too little to then leave space to a been-there-done-that sweet’n’dry woody / resiny base that’s pretty decent but far from being outstanding if you’re already familiar with most of the latest fragrances by this firm.
    I can’t say Opus VIII is a bad fragrance (especially given the great opening) but it’s nowhere close being worthy of the hefty price tag it goes for. Sorry.

    There is some contradiction in Opus VIII – nice white flower tones but also something quite pestering. My conclusion is that it is not worth to try much less to buy.

    Nothing exotic or middle eastern about this fragrance. Just another number in the Opus Series. I hate series just as much as a hate movies with a number after them !
    In some ways it reminds me of Opus V1 but not nearly as opulent.
    This wears more like a generic niche fragrance. Somewhere between an Acqua De Parma Colonia and a watered down ONDA. It’s not bad and more than likely I would choose this if I was on a budget and saw it at Sephora but I’d never spend top dollar on it.
    This has excellent longevity and good projection.
    If you like this but want to turn it up a notch go for Opus V1.

    Honestly I’m in two minds about this new Opus. On the one hand I’m not the biggest fan of white florals and the Opus range in general are hit n miss with me.
    Opus VIII for me has enough spicing, woodiness and incense to give it Amouageness and a completely different feel from your average white floral. It has an undeniably upscale and complex feel to it.
    Jasmine is sweet and orange blossom and ylang ylang can be great when sparingly used and thankfully that’s the case here.
    The opening is nice it dries down to a nice scent and thankfully there’s enough going on with the balancing act of elements to make this a decent fragrance. I really would like a sample of this as I have samples of all the other Opus scents (which I could do with revisiting)Given a proper wear I think I could grow to like Opus VIII one more, it is quite floral and could be perceived as a little feminine perhaps?
    The main thing that detracted from it was the fact I tried Journey Man on the same day and that dwarfed this scent. Considering Journey is pretty unstated too that doesn’t say a lot for VIII but as I’ve mentioned I think it might be a grower, it’s certainly safer than VII which was Amouage spice madness!!!
    Needs revisiting for sure but nothing repulsed me.

    verdaderamente es una maravilla olfativa de primer nivel de la alta perfumería
    esa bella explosión de jazmín y azahar en las notas de salida …al paso de las horas el jazmín permanece ahí apoyado por Ylang-Ylang y azahar ….pasan las horas y están ahí…
    la longevidad y fijación 10/10
    en conclusión es una fragancia adictiva y 1000% recomendable totalmente para ambos sexos
    me gusta mis pulgares arriba.

    It wouldn’t be possible to wear this and not feel elegant. It is working great with my jeans but it would be fabulous for a special occasion. Major league gorgeous, compelling – as in I can’t stop huffing my wrist, and very unique. The combination of florals with some edible spices – ginger, saffron, orange, has been done but none I’ve sampled were of this quality and done with such talent. FB on wishlist.

    to me this is pretty feminine with a blast of florals and a woody core..nothing really enthralling.. along the line of all Opuses basically a rip off, and I am an hardcore Amouage fan, these outings are going to alienate the loyal fan base!

    Beautiful opening, all honey and salt, almost a mirror to Flora Nymphea by Guerlain. It remains sweet, with a strong marshmallow note and marine note emerging in the drydown. The saffron note lingers. Very well blended though, and elegant. Here it reminds me of L’Erbolario’s Diode Dell’Onda.

    Ok,got my sample and sprayed about 1 hour ago…Massive explosion of flowers..mostly jasmine and neroli….Without looking at the notes,I can smell some light spices under the flowers…about the 1 hour mark it starts to get warmer and creamier but still strong on the jasmine..I need to do a few full wearing before I know if I like or not….so far,I have no interest in any of the opus series….opus vi I kinda liked and this one,so far,might just be too strong on the flowers….we’ll see….

    Another analogy: OPUS VII is the dark haunted soul of the moon, whereas OPUS VIII is the dancing, rejoicing, gleaming soul of the sun. These 2 behave like day and night.

    Managed to get a sniff, skin sample and a ‘dunked & doused’ green ribbon from the exclusive launch in a famous London department store that just launched this 8th addition to the Library range. My first reaction was: WOW! What a milky floral monster! Absolutely magnificent!
    The bottle is opaque, pearlesque and “milky” with some golden glitter particles; so the exterior is already giving away some clues to the interior juice.
    And WHAT A JUICE IT IS! AN OPPULENT EXPLOSION!
    Those of you who love jasmine and neroli will love this fragrance for this is one heck of a floral potent blast. The obvious first impression from the opening is the “Sambac” jasmine of extremely dense and milky quality, together with he heaviest and richest neroli possible and I believe it is the oilbanum that gives it such a milky, ambery, vanillic quality.
    As an analogy, I would call it the “Milky Cousin” of REFLECTION (Reflection is a very wet, spicy and waxy composition of the same house).
    Saffron and Ylan-Ylang support the already strong and ‘floral-peppery’ nature of the potent neroli (orange blossom) and the ginger, gaiac wood, vetiver amplify this spiciness even further.
    The final dry-down is a close milky skin scent of benzoin and those recent memories of those floral explosions now slowly fading (very slowly and linear that is!). If there was anything negative to mention: the base notes only comprises of 2 notes (the lowest level of any Library range for they all have at least 3) and the West Indian Bay is hardly there.
    Having said that, the first two stages are so incredibly intense that they continue to linger on and on. It feels like you were cooking all ingredients in a big pot of fatty milk that starts to turn into a thick condensed milk, completely consuming all the ingredients and turning it into a beautiful tamer skin scent that almost feels like a body butter (in fact they should do one as well with this scent!)
    Final Verdict: 9.5 out of 10 only because there is not more base note development.
    A TRUE FLORAL MONSTER FOR A TRUE NEROLI/ JASMINE LOVER. THICK MILKY PEPPERY VIBRANCY. NOTHING SHORT OF SENSATIONAL.

    Jasmined floral compostion with splash of Saphron.
    Strange that the notes have many flowers yet all in all, the composition is not leaning toward masculine. I love this mixed wth other parfumes ..and alone. Can be worn by woman but would seem strongly suited mainly for men.
    This is a new scent.
    Composition 9/10

    so far with amouage, they never fail on floral notes with a touch of wood…like a flower tree of course with trees that is wood…in all the history be it soap, perfume, incense etc will all has flowers smell in all the ranges of the product, thus it is a good smell, so far i have not come across a soap that smell exactly like amouage perfume( except for amouage soap ), i would love to try it though if there is one.
    so far amouage has been producing great products, with great products comes great price…
