Name: Search Eau de Parfum
Brand: Amouage

Amouage Search is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Alexis Grugeon. Search opens with Lemon, Mandarin, and Lime, settles into a heart of Pepper, Frankincense, and Elemi, and dries down to a base of Cade, Vetiver, and Guaiac Wood. Amouage's Search carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a divisive marvel. Prepare for a full-on conflagration of citrus and smoke, an acquired taste for some, a masterpiece for others. It commands attention, so only wear it if you're ready to make a statement.

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.

Date

Its potent projection and distinct smoky character make it less suitable for office wear but perfect for casual outings or dates where you want to stand out. While unique and luxurious, its strong smoky aspect might be too adventurous for most formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

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.
