  Good heavens, what a beautiful perfume. It combines the rose with an exceptional incense with a class and harmony that left me surprised. I never thought I would fall in love with a fragrance featuring rose as the protagonist. It transports me to my favourite Marly perfume, Delina, but in a unisex version. I only have a sample and I am fascinated by it more and more; off to buy the bottle.

  Opus XII – Rose Incense: It opens with olibanum, elemi, bitter black ink and a shy rose. Then, the smoky notes yield to the rose, woods and vanilla. In dry down, the rose and olibanum dominate, with that bitter ink quality that makes it addictive, embraced by an aromatic vanilla and sandalwood. Projection is over 6 hours and more than 12 hours on skin, even after showering. It is less popular than its siblings but better formulated. The black ink makes it a rare bird, unique and special. For me, it is the best rose on the market: original and pleasant without being overwhelming, which is difficult with this note. Very versatile, for day or night (less for summer). A true masterpiece and jewel that does not go unnoticed.

  What a wonder. Although it is not the classic Amouage profile, it retains its essence. It evokes nostalgia, melancholy and old books covered in dust. It opens with high-quality dusty frankincense, fresh and spicy elemi, and an ink that adds a watery and bitter touch. The rose is watery and luminous, surrounded by incense that softens it with an almost citrusy freshness. Within an hour, the rose dominates and the elemi yields to the resinous incense. The base is creamy due to the sandalwood and vanilla, with resinous myrrh. There are greys and clouds, a quiet uncertainty. I bought it blind and fell in love with the wear. Performance: 12 hours on dry skin. Projection: 2 metres for the first 2 hours, then a personal bubble until the 5th hour. Ideal for parties, work or night outs. Unisex, over 24 years old, autumn, winter and summer nights.

  It is an incense-drenched rose that surprises with how well it smells, but it has a strong downside: the opening is potent and highly personal, almost intoxicating. After two sprays, I noticed it abandons versatility in favour of becoming overwhelming; it is spicy, resinous and a bit tiring. I would use it very sparingly in my daily life. Nuclear performance, demands formality and special occasions. Unisex and best suited for cold weather.
