Amouage Bracken Woman is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Dorothée Piot and Karine Vinchon-Spehner.

Amouage's Bracken Woman carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Bracken Woman is a divisive stunner, a challenging green scent that's loved or hated but never ignored. Discontinued status means it's now a unicorn hunt for its devotees.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its potent, unique, and often 'challenging' aroma, coupled with beast-mode performance, makes it unsuitable for most office environments. However, its intriguing character makes it an interesting choice for casual outings or dates where you want to make a statement, though its intensity might be too much for formal settings. Reviewers often mention wearing it outdoors or when wanting to feel 'fearless'.

About

This Amouage opens with a punchy, almost astringent burst of fern and tart red berries, creating an immediate sense of wild, damp greenery. As it settles, a distinctive leather accord emerges, softened by the powdery earthiness of chamomile and the subtle narcotic lift of narcissus. The dry down is a rich tapestry of smoky birch, grounding vetiver, and dark patchouli, evoking a mysterious forest floor after a downpour.
