    This is the famous opoponax base beloved by Coty and used in L'Origan and Chypre. Additionally it was used in numerous perfumes by Guerlain, including an early formula of Jicky. Opoponax Doux is a wonderfully balanced and rich amber base loaded with all the finest resins balanced with the perfect dose of fresh citrus oils and sweet vanilla.

    The historic opoponax type base is a little confusing because "opoponax" is also the name of a resin used in perfume. However, opoponax bases are a type of ambreine base - artful blends of vanilla, citrus, resins and other luxurious naturals. The main difference is that opoponax bases are narcotic while ambreine bases are erogenous. This means they are synergistic.

    Combinations of Opoponax Doux and Ambreine are found through many historic perfumes and were particular favourites of Coty and Guerlain. This opoponax base is very similar to the other historic base Balsamol.

    Appearance: Amber to deep brown liquid

    A beauty brought back from a very long sleep

    Genius reproduction. Simply glorious. Opoponax Doux, together with Ambreine Samuelson, constitute in my opinion the soul of vintage Shalimar. Opoponax and Ambreine are meant to go hand in hand. Their synergy is magical, is perfection, reason why we find it over and over again throughout the perfumery of the golden era. Extensively used by Guerlain and Coty, but also Caron. Thank you Jamie for reviving these treasures from the past! ...Note aside: Opoponax Doux is a 100% timeless wonder of perfume art that will always be relevant. Although conceived over one hundred years ago, this beauty doesn't have a single wrinkle!
