Try Opus XIII Silver Oud at your own pace
Opus XIII Silver Oud is a perfume from Amouage. There is no recorded pyramid on this page, because we only print notes we can trace. A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.

On the skin
This page says little about what Opus XIII Silver Oud contains, on purpose: no note list is on record, and the sample says more than a guess. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
Amouage Opus XIII Silver Oud is listed so that you can ask for it. Send the form on this page and your interest is noted; we do not name a date. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
The sample is made by hand: Amouage Opus XIII Silver Oud goes from the original bottle into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, which we then label. Because it is a spray, the perfume spreads on skin the same way it would from the bottle.
Testing it
Nothing on record ties Opus XIII Silver Oud to a season or a moment, and that makes a broad test the best one. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week.
We hold no data on who Opus XIII Silver Oud is meant for, so we do not label it. Whoever wears it decides whether it fits, not the label. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you. It also works for anyone who wants a small vial for travel or a bag.
Choosing a bottle unsmelled is a gamble, and a decant takes the gamble out of it. What you get is a decant made by FragranceGems from the original bottle, with our label. The house is not involved and it is not an official brand sample.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Opus XIII Silver Oud from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
No note list is on record with us for Amouage Opus XIII Silver Oud, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Probably not exactly. Skin, weather and the amount you apply all change how a perfume comes across, which is the reason to wear Amouage Opus XIII Silver Oud yourself before deciding.
The brand
Amouage has composed perfume in the Sultanate of Oman since 1983, with frankincense, myrrh and resins never far from the formula. Its Eau de Parfums are dosed between 20 and 30% perfume oil and aged for several weeks, so even the fresher ones carry weight on skin and change a lot over a day. That makes the house a textbook case for sampling: a 10 ml decant gives you time to live with the drydown before you choose a bottle.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
