Lineage

Name: Lineage Eau de Parfum
Brand: Amouage

Amouage Lineage is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Karine Vinchon-Spehner. Lineage opens with Pink Pepper, Sichuan Pepper, Ginger, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Fenugreek, Myrrh, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Labdanum, and Benzoin. Amouage's Lineage carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a divisive marvel. Lineage conjures up anything from a serene seaside temple to a full-blown fish market disaster, but you can't deny its unique, mineral-infused incense character. It's not a crowd-pleaser, it's a conversation starter.

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.

About

Lineage opens with a punch of peppery ginger and warm saffron, quickly ushering in a distinctly mineralic experience. Frankincense and myrrh weave through, creating a churchy, ancient feel, balanced by fenugreek's subtle sweetness. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of earthy vetiver and patchouli, softened by balsamic labdanum and benzoin, leaving a lasting impression of salty air and smouldering resins.
