Meander

by Mackenzie Reilly

Amouage Meander is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Mackenzie Reilly. The fragrance opens with Pepper, Carrot Seeds, Pink Pepper, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Orris, Rose, Narcissus, and Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Sandalwood.

Our verdict on Meander: Acquired

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.
