Amouage Sequence is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2026, created by Julien Rasquinet. Sequence opens with Saffron, Raspberry, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Rose, Osmanthus, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Leather, Oud, and Amberwood. Amouage's Sequence carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This perfume is a divisive one: a love-it-or-hate-it affair. While some hail it as a masterpiece of fruity leather, others find it unoriginal and overpriced. Definitely one to try before you buy, but expect compliments (or complaints) either way.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its intense fruity and leathery accords, make Sequence unsuitable for office wear and sports. However, its bold and luxurious scent profile is perfect for commanding attention on a date or at formal evening events, though some might find it a bit much for casual daytime wear.

About

Sequence opens with an immediate burst of juicy raspberry and exotic litchi, gently spiced by saffron. This vibrant fruitiness soon settles into a heart of delicate osmanthus and romantic rose, underpinned by the creamy warmth of tonka bean. The base emerges with a rich, smoky blend of oud and leather, softened by amberwood, leaving a lingering trail of sophisticated animalic sweetness.
