Amouage Meander is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Mackenzie Reilly. Meander opens with Carrot Seeds, Pepper, Pink Pepper, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Rose, Orris, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Vetiver. Amouage's Meander carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Meander is a divisive beast, a Marmite scent. Some find it a creamy, elegant masterpiece - a gentle, meditative ride through spiced woods. Others reckon it's a weak, weird, or even 'pickles marinade' mess. Performance is a common sticking point, not the beast mode Amouage is known for.

About

Meander opens with a pinch of spicy black and pink pepper, underpinned by an unusual yet intriguing earthiness from carrot seeds and frankincense. As it develops, a creamy, powdery heart of orris and soft narcissus emerges, wrapped in a smooth sandalwood and dry vetiver base. There's a persistent woody-earthy core, softened by a comforting, almost milky warmth.
