The union of the real and the unreal, the clashing of the impossible and the mundane, the surrealistic manifest that life is never truly what it seems to be. The meeting of fire and nightshade, of juicy Mandarin, grandiose Amber and somber Oud, King Blue is an oneiric wood supreme.
35% oil concentration, 10 weeks ageing: 5 weeks maceration, 5 weeks maturation
What are the notes in Amouage Opus XV King Blue? Mandarin, blackcurrant and pink pepper at the top, frankincense and amber in the heart, and oud, leather, oak, sandalwood and patchouli in the base.
Is it an oud fragrance? Oud and leather lead the base, lifted by mandarin and blackcurrant and warmed by frankincense and amber.
Should I buy the 100mL blind? At full-bottle prices, try the perfume as a 1.5mL sample first.
