Opus XIII Silver Oud by Amouage: The Essence of Strength and Ambition
Some fragrances tell a story, but few immerse you in the complex emotions of a literary masterpiece like Opus XIII Silver Oud by Amouage. Inspired by Stendhal’s 19th-century novel, The Red and the Black, this Eau de Parfum is a tribute to the journey of Julien Sorel, an ambitious and intelligent protagonist whose struggles mirror the moments of tribulation and strength captured in this fragrance. Silver Oud is not just a scent—it’s a sensory journey through time, emotion, and narrative, brought to life by the brilliant Cecile Zorakian.
The Story of Silver Oud: A Tribute to Literary Depth
In creating Silver Oud, Amouage continues its tradition of blending fine perfumery with rich storytelling. This woody ambery fragrance reflects the emotional depth of Julien Sorel’s inner world, where ambition collides with passion, and moments of brilliance are followed by struggle. The powerful essence of oud serves as the foundation for this complex scent, embodying the duality of strength and vulnerability that defines Sorel’s journey.
The fragrance opens with a bold intensity, immediately showcasing the precious oud at its core. This is not just any oud—Silver Oud uses one of the rarest and most treasured varieties, allowing the richness and depth of the note to fully unfold. As the fragrance evolves, woody and ambery notes come into play, adding layers of warmth, intrigue, and refinement. The result is a fragrance that is dark, sophisticated, and enduring, much like the character it is inspired by.
Craftsmanship at Its Finest: 6 Weeks of Artisanal Care
The creation of Opus XIII Silver Oud is a meticulous process that ensures the highest quality. With 20% oil concentration, this Eau de Parfum is rich and long-lasting, enveloping you in its luxurious scent throughout the day. But it’s the aging process that truly sets Silver Oud apart: three weeks of maceration followed by three weeks of maturation allows the oils to develop their full complexity, resulting in a fragrance that feels both bold and refined, ready to take its place in the world of luxury scents.
