Opus IV fans, pay attention
I've been wearing Roja Dove Opus IV for years and it redefines what a floral can be. Oeuvre IV captures that same ethos — rich, complex, and unhurried — at a price that doesn't require a second mortgage.

About Oeuvre IV
Oeuvre IV: A Timeless Journey Through an Ancient Novel
An ancient manuscript illuminated by firelight. Oeuvre IV opens with a bright, citrus-drenched invitation: coriander, lemon, mandarin, and grapefruit dance together with an effervescence that is both joyful and sophisticated.
The heart reveals its exotic soul: the resinous clarity of elemi meets the warm spice of cardamom and cumin, while rose and violet add a delicate, powdery beauty that softens the composition into something deeply compelling.
The base is rich with ritual: Peru balsam and labdanum wrapped in the sacred smoke of frankincense, while animalic notes and musk create a warm, skin-close finish that is both primal and refined, a fragrance that feels lived-in and endlessly fascinating.
Oeuvre IV. For the woman who collects experiences the way others collect possessions.

Why Choose Oeuvre IV Over Opus IV?
- Shares the same core DNA as Opus IV: the opening coriander, the elemi heart, and the peru balsam dry-down are all present and accounted for.
- Designed for women, making it a versatile choice for personal wear or gifting.
- Part of the aromatic spicy family, with primary notes of Coriander, Lemon, Mandarin, Grapefruit.
- Longer wear time than many in its class — typically lasting 8+ hours on skin, with projection that suits both daytime and evening wear.
- Priced to make the aromatic category accessible without sacrificing quality ingredients or formulation care.
- Worth noting: as an alternative rather than the original, the projection and sillage may differ slightly from Opus IV — particularly in the first hour of wear. The character is faithful — the experience is its own.
The base of peru balsam and labdanum gives Oeuvre IV a smooth, skin-close finish that develops over time. The deeper presence of frankincense adds subtle complexity. Meanwhile, musk brings the whole composition to a grounded, natural close.
Why Is Amouage's Opus IV So Expensive?
Amouage's Opus IV carries a premium price for reasons that go beyond the juice itself. High-end fragrance houses invest heavily in brand positioning, campaign spend, and retail partnerships — costs that are folded directly into the price consumers pay. The bottle design, packaging, and distribution through luxury retailers add further overhead before a single spray is used. Raw materials also play a role: natural-sourced versions of notes like coriander or peru balsam can vary significantly in cost depending on sourcing and quality tier. Oeuvre IV uses high-quality aroma compounds selected to replicate the character of Opus IV — without absorbing those downstream costs. The result is an aromatic perfume that performs on skin with the same confidence, at a price that reflects the scent — not the status.

How does an aromatic perfume for women translate the brightness of coriander and the depth of elemi into something wearable all day?
Oeuvre IV answers that question with a well-structured composition: the coriander opening is clean and immediate, while the elemi heart carries the identity of the scent through the middle hours. It's the peru balsam base that gives it staying power — and the kind of presence that draws compliments without demanding attention. An ancient manuscript illuminated by firelight.
If your ideal scent is clean, herb-forward, and built for everyday confidence, Oeuvre IV belongs in your collection. It's the kind of fragrance you reach for without thinking — and reach for again tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Oeuvre IV a good dupe for Opus IV?
Yes — Oeuvre IV is one of the closest alternatives available to Opus IV.
It shares the same aromatic character, with matching top notes ofCoriander, Lemon, Mandarin, and Grapefruit,
and a base that develops in a similar direction on skin. It won't be molecule-for-molecule identical — no alternative fragrance is — but the character, longevity, and overall impression are very close.
How does Oeuvre IV compare to Opus IV in terms of longevity and sillage?
Oeuvre IV typically lasts over eight hours on skin, which is comparable to — and in some cases longer than — Opus IV.
Sillage (how far the scent projects) is moderate: noticeable in close quarters without being overpowering.
As with any fragrance, performance will vary based on skin type, body heat, and where you apply it — pulse points like the wrists and neck generally give the best results.
What are the top notes of Opus IV?
The top notes of Opus IV include Coriander, Lemon, Mandarin, and Grapefruit.
These opening notes create the initial impression of the scent — typically the brightest and most volatile part of the composition, lasting the first 15–30 minutes on skin before giving way to the heart.
What are the middle and base notes of Opus IV?
The heart notes — which define the character of the scent once it settles — include Elemi, Cardamom, Cumin, Rose, and Violet.
The base notes, which form the long-lasting dry-down, are Peru Balsam, Labdanum, Frankincense, Animalic Notes, and Musk.
Together they create the full arc of the fragrance from first spray to end of day.
What occasions is Opus IV best suited for?
Clean, fresh, and broadly appealing, Opus IV works well across most settings — work, travel, or casual social situations. Oeuvre IV fits the same range of occasions.
What does Coriander smell like?
Coriander is one of the more recognisable opening notes in the aromatic family.
In the context of Oeuvre IV, it reads as
green, slightly herbal, and clean — the kind of opening that reads as fresh without being generic.
Where can I find other fragrances similar to Opus IV?
You can browse our full range of alternatives to Opus IV on the Amouage collection page. We also carry a broader selection of aromatic perfumes if you'd like to explore the wider fragrance family.
How long does Oeuvre IV last?
Oeuvre IV typically lasts over eight hours on skin. For best results, apply to pulse points — wrists, neck, and behind the ears — on moisturised skin. Applying to dry skin or over clothing can reduce longevity slightly.
How should I store and apply Oeuvre IV?
Store Oeuvre IV in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat — a drawer or cupboard works better than a bathroom shelf. Apply to pulse points on clean, moisturised skin. Avoid rubbing the fragrance in after spraying, as this can break down the top notes prematurely.
Is Oeuvre IV suitable for sensitive skin?
Oeuvre IV is formulated with high-quality ingredients and is designed for skin application. If you have sensitive skin or known fragrance sensitivities, we recommend a patch test on a small area of skin before full use. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs.
What are your shipping and return policies?
We offer free standard shipping on all orders over $150. Orders are typically processed within one business day and delivered within 5–7 business days. If you're not fully satisfied, you can return or exchange any unopened, unused product in its original packaging within 20 days of delivery. See our full policy page for details.
Do you offer gift wrapping or personalised messages?

Are your fragrances cruelty-free?
Yes. Our fragrances are cruelty-free, and we use recyclable materials in our packaging wherever possible. We select supply chain partners based on their commitment to ethical labour practices and environmental responsibility.
Do you offer discounts for bulk or gift purchases?
We do offer pricing for larger orders. Contact our customer service team directly for information on bulk purchase options.
How to Layer Oeuvre IV with Selva Africana
Combining a aromatic fragrance with a oriental one is a classic layering technique — each family brings something the other lacks, and the result on skin is more complex than either worn alone. Oeuvre IV and Selva Africana are selected by our scent team as a pairing with strong complementary notes.
How to layer them: Start with Selva Africana as your base — apply it first to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears) and allow 30–60 seconds for it to settle. Then layer Oeuvre IV on top. The amber base of Selva Africana anchors the composition, while the coriander opening of Oeuvre IV lifts the blend and adds character on top.
Pair Oeuvre IV with
Selva Africana.
The herbal freshness of coriander contrasts the warm,
resinous amber of Selva Africana,
producing an oriental-aromatic blend that's complex without being heavy —
suited to transitional weather and evenings.
