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 citrus-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.

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.
