Amouage OPUS VIII
Nights Private Collection is the sublimation of Arabian Nights into two proposals: A fragrance for men and a fragrance for women. For those who are passionate about perfume, about the extraordinary beauty of an exquisite and select aroma, a fragrance’s greatest raison d’être is the delight in a fine, elegant and sumptuous perfume. Arabian Nights Private Collection is a challenge to perfection. We do not content ourselves with two perfect fragrances, we seek the sublime. The creation of the two fragrances which form the Arabian Nights Private Collection required the selection of perfumers with a great sensitivity to conjugate the richest and most elegant components. We needed their firm commitment to reach the maximum delight in perfumery. The exhaustive work on the olfactive composition results in an admirable result. Rigorous attention has been paid to every small detail; great care has been taken over each small variation or proportion. Many months of demanding work have brought us two unique, exquisite and sublime fragrances.
