Opus XIII – Silver Oud

Probably my fav Amouage with Rose Incense. Too good, a love and 10/10-frag

The brand has become catastrophic since they changed the bottles, the whole collection is a disaster, nothing is worth buying, far too expensive for what it is, this is a sincere opinion. Sterile brand, don't buy anything at that price, discover the perfumes for yourself, go smell them and you'll realize that even Mancera will be better.

Hands down the most revolting fragrance I've ever tried. I've tried it 3 times on skin and am forced to scrub it off after an hour or two.

It's literally just a less concentrated Oud Ulya that you can spray, which is absolutely beautiful.

Yes this one smells like a burnt tire at first! But that is only when you put your nose right up to it. And in reality no one is going to get their nose close enough to perceive it that way. I got a compliment from giving someone a hug about 2 hours after application. And she is not a fan of any "artistic" fragrances. This one comes across as very pleasant and will reward those who have the patience to let it shine.

can't stand this.... but i am in love with king blue... funny how your nose work

If you are used to oud smell this is the single most luxurious well blended skanky animalic oud leather dark fragrance ever with crazy longevity and sillage of more than 12 hours. Won't be liked by people that wear exclusively Dior Sauvage or similar blue fragrance since it is an acquired taste but once you get into it can't get enough. It's one of the priciest amouage with retail of 500 Euro per 100ml but if you can find it at like half the price is well worth it. Connoisseurs around you will certainly know its a niche very expensive fragrance

Dark, smoky, ambery, resinous ash/charcoal with camphory facets. You don't need to go near it. The fragrance will find you!! Loud and Majestic. Not at all challenging!! Beautiful fragrance!!(If you smell the cap you might hate this, but I promise its a million times better on skin). Drydown: Phenomenal. Its like a woody grandsoir with sparkling benzoin/camphorous edges. I thought it was soft projecting at 4hrs but my colleague asked what perfume is that inside the lift!! Maybe its still strong. P.S. I literally wore just ONE SPRAY.

Interesting. At first try this smells reminiscent of Royal Tobacco, which is no coincidence since it's another one from Cécile Zarokian. After it settles it sort of reminds me of sitting by a campfire and catching wafts of smoke in the air. I'd like to try it but it might be a little too "out there" for me honestly.

Oooooooooooo, gurrrrrrrrrl. She skanky! After about ten minutes, the ash is coming through nicely. I’d like to try this in winter.

I’m at a loss for words. I was told today to try out silver oud in the summer. I have always been scared of wearing animalic ouds in warm weather, and I’ve actually never once worn king blue or silver oud in public let alone in the summer. I’ve always been scared of what others would think. Today, I put 3 sprays of silver oud on my neck. It’s 90 degrees Fahrenheit today, and I’m seeing a lot of people. Silver oud is doing something that I never expected it to do. It’s shifting based on the temperature. In the heat, it seems to become denser, more ambery and sugary, and ashy. It of course has that animalic edge that made me fall in love with it, but in the air it’s a lot more approachable than I would have ever expected. I am so glad that I pushed past my fear of wearing animalic ouds out in the real world, because that’s where they truly shine.

Such a shame that newer batches are less animalic. Personally, I feel that its DNA is completely different.

For those who are interested in wether this fragrance contains real oud or not, im here to tell you that silver oud contains between 1.5 to 5% real oud, of course there is no way to "exactly" tell how much because different ouds got different amount of components to them like agarispirol or Kusunol and the gcms reports only show the amount of these component in the whole formula and in order to detect the exact % of oud, we have to know exacly what type oud they have used in silver oud but to average the numbers out we can say silver oud may contain around 3% real oud but what about the other notes? This fragrance is mainly cypriol (around 19%), patchouli(around18%) and synthetic woody amber notes responsible for its atomic performance (iso e super around 20% of formula, vertofix around 10%, amoroxan around 8%, javanol around 8%), there are also cedar, Guaiac wood, sweet maltol, raspberry keton, labdanum, calamus, vanillic molecules, tar, black pepper, osmanthus and grape fruit like molecules and tiny tiny tiny amount of animalic notes in it.

Cecilia Zarokian is a genius. This is a masterpiece, the most beautiful Oud fragrance ever created.

califresh is on drugs or something. multiple accounts raving about a perfume that is literally jovoys private label with a fat shit on top. oud heads are in the same boat as gourmand fans to me.

This is a pungent and animalic masculine fragrance. Of course a woman can wear this if she so chooses but it leans very masculine and will be much easier for a man to wear than a woman. The opening is animalic, it is well blended but nonetheless there are some hints of something strong and a bit challenging, and that is coming from a lover of animalic fragrances. This is definitely a cold weather scent, in the heat the animalic facets would probably become unbearable. This fragrance is okay, I didn't dislike it but I didn't love it either. The level of animalic notes in this is out of the ordinary but otherwise the rest of it just smelled like a pretty generic masculine woody fragrance to me.

To clarify with CaliFresh, my juice is from the retail outlet. I have tested this fragrance on skin and on the strip multiple times throughout the past year at the store. So its not a batch issue. My opinion is the same every single time. The opening is horrid. The dry down is more wearable and unique. Its nothing mind blowing and nor is it worth anything close to retail price. King blue is better. Retail sets or testers of this fragrance are available in Asia at a fraction of the retail price because most people dont like this one.

Very disceptive discription on their website. If you decode the language you can understand it is oud accord and not real oud, which they realy try to hide. I do not like to be lied or manipulated too, otherwise a nice perfume. Real oud and Amourage, i guess not!

Unlike the popular opinions, I find it neither too likeable nor too challenging!!

The sexiest old used tire you’ll ever smell

Why does that one guy review this same fragrance every couple weeks and make multiple accounts to pretty much say the same thing? Strange.

Smell 10/10 Longevity 8/10 Breathtaking 10/10 Unique 10/10 Complexity 8.5/10 Overall 8/10

Not sure what mrmilisimme got, but it's definitely not the juice I have. Did mrmilisimme get a bad batch? Reformulation? A fake? My juice is exquisitely good, not just good, but really really really really really good. Makes me think I should pay full retail at the same store, for a full bottle, because my sample smells so good, and if you do not know in this fragrance game, every bottle is different smelling. You might not be able to tell the difference by smell but I can assure you no two bottles are the same. People are reporting many different mixed responses with this one, making me think whatever I have and whatever might be left at my local store is the best possible batch release of Silver Oud out there. One way to know if a fragrance is good or not is to see if you can find any bargains. As of this day and time 5/4/26 3:50 PM there are no deals or discounts of this particular fragrance. Full retail price is what your will have to pay to get this Godly, masterpiece 10/10 epic juice. The smell of this stuff is so good. Can't describe the smell, it's just fantastic, phenomenal stuff.

Opening - 0/10. Just aweful, harsh and unwearable. It lacks the sweetness that king blue has to balance out the animalic notes. The dry down is better where everything settles down and makes it more wearable. It does stay quite close to the skin also. Drydown - 8/10. Smoky, dry and smooth. Way better than the beginning. Quite addicting actually. Smells like how the bottle looks. Overall, just get king blue - For the price you should have to endure that horrid opening.

One of the greatest animalic fragrances ever created, if not the greatest. The first time I smelled Silver Oud it blew me away, and it still does to this day, everytime. This has the perfect amount of sweetness, blended very well, you cannot smell anything animalic at all. What you get is a very irresistible scent, that will make you want to buy a full bottle. You can rest assure, with the price tag of this fragrance nobody else will be wearing it but you, at its current retail price point of $550 10/10 Holy Grail Worthy Masterpiece Fragrance

One of the greatest animalic fragrances ever created, if not the greatest. A Masterpiece, Holy Grail Fragrance This has the perfect amount of sweetness mixed with Birch, Patchouli, and Ambrarome creates the most irresistible scent I have ever put my nose on. Very addicting smell, King Blue's young brother that is a lot more Hansom, much more wealthy and successful. This fragrance is absolutely stunning and worthy of a King.

The animalic notes and intense woody aroma can overwhelm your brain and make you sick / stomach hurt if you're new to (niche) fragrances, so this is not for beginners. But I would say this is one of the most harmoniously complex ouds by a large company. Masterpiece by Cecile Zarokian.

This juice is incredible, fantastic, phenomenal, something a King would wear. Extremely addicting, one of the best DNA's that is not being hyped. This is a Holy Grail Fragrance. A one of a kind Gem, deserves a spot in a Museum somewhere.

There is nothing awful about this. The problem is there are many Amouage fakes floating around. $550 juice does not smell awful. This is a creation by the award winning Cecile Zarokian This is very addicting juice, that I can never get enough of. It's a masterpiece, objectively speaking in my opinion. If you don't like this scent, something is wrong with you. Your nose is broken. Been a fragrance fan going on 20 + years now and nothing I have ever smelled has smelled this good. This is a 10/10 Masterpiece, as far as the smell is concerned for the opening. I get the same with Blazing Mr Sam, the opening with Mr Sam is just Top Tier good. Was on a live with a lady that had Halfeti and Mr same on her skin but Halfet smelled better on the dry down to her, and she was giving Halfeti bad remarks at first. Not sure why anyone would not like this scent, it's absolutely sublime to my nose. My conclusion is you got fake juice, I have been a victim of receiving Fake Fragrances. I have a fake PDM, Fake Creed, Fake Gucci, Fake Mancera, and a Fake Tom Ford. It's just too easy to extract the juice from any bottle and put something else inside. Don't be a victim, and only buy from reputable retailers. I promise you this juice is magnificent, that is if you get the real stuff. If you could smell what I have in my Decant you would fall in love with it.

Amateur layman here and will refine my review later. I have actually smelt real burning agarwood, the true oud smell. I smelt several perfunes from other high-end brands that clame to be oud, but not even with a microscope you could find; they say oud because of the prestige though it is so very fair from the real oud expirence. I have the strange feeling that most of these negative reviews come from people who have never smelt real oud and only smelt perfumes with the name oud; which i can tell you, are two totally different things. Real oud is unapologetically musky deep, animalistic and complex, this perfume offers a very close to real oud expirence. Like beer to a first timer, oud is to the westerner.. FYI it is only oud accord not real oud, decode their language on their website to find out.
