Is Opus IX suitable for the office or workplace?+−
Generally, no. Its high sillage and "loud" floral-animalic profile make it quite polarizing. Community members often skip wearing this to work in favor of private enjoyment or evening events where a bold statement is more appropriate.
How does the animalic quality manifest in this fragrance?+−
The animalic character comes primarily from a heavy dose of civet and ambergris in the base, paired with a waxy beeswax and leather. It creates a salty, warm, and slightly "skanky" skin-like scent that lingers long after the floral notes fade.
Is Opus IX still in production?+−
Opus IX has been discontinued, meaning it is no longer part of the current Amouage production line. It is primarily found through secondary markets or specialty decanters.
How long does this fragrance typically last on the skin?+−
This fragrance is known for its "monstrous" longevity. True to the Amouage reputation, it easily lasts over 12 hours, with some users reporting it remains noticeable for a full 24-hour period.
