About

Amouage Search opens with an electrifying jolt of lemon, lime, and mandarin, vivid and almost photorealistic. This initial brightness is swiftly engulfed by a rich, smoky core of frankincense and pepper, evoking burning woods. As it settles, a rugged foundation of vetiver, guaiac wood, and cade emerges, deepening the charred, earthy aroma. It's a journey from zesty luminosity to persistent, smouldering depth.
