THE ‘OPUS XIV – ROYAL TOBACCO’ TURNS THE PAGE
‘El Lector’ was reading from Victor Hugo, Honore de Balzac, Stendhal, Edgar Allan Poe or Herman Neville to cigarmakers in old Cuban factories until one day, when the reading became an honored ritual. Paying tribute to ‘el lector’, OPUS XIV – ROYAL TOBACCO is a daring fit for men or women alike who love to turn the page and find how a story ends, but are obsessed with the tobacco scent.
FOR THRILL-SEEKERS
A HEDONIST is a pleasure-seeker, someone who believes that the pursuit of pleasure is the most important thing. Now when such a sensualist is in mood for niche, the niche perfumes that usher this exceptional hedonist mood are the most important on her/his to do list. Because these are perfumes that breathe, persist and live.
Cecile Zarokian
SCENTS ARE EXPRESSION MEDIUMS
Paris-based perfumer Cécile Zarokian, an ISIPCA alumna, began her fragrance career at the esteemed Robertet in Grasse and Paris. Because sometimes a spark of genius overshadows experience, Zarokian crafted her first perfume, Amouage Epic Woman, while she was just a trainee. In 2011, Cécile established her own laboratory, marking her transition to an independent perfumer. She now collaborates with notable brands such as Jovoy Paris, Xerjoff, Jacques Fath, Laboratorio Olfattivo, and Masque Fragranze, and has even developed the exclusive Chateau de Versailles scented candle collection.
Live more from obsession and less from habit, this is the manifesto that animates every AMOUAGE story, blend, name, design.
