Amouage: The Haute Perfumery of the Sultanate of Oman
Amouage is a haute perfumery house founded in 1983 in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, by the will of Sultan Qaboos bin Said. Its original mission — to restore the nobility of the art of perfumery to the Arab world — has translated into creations where oud, frankincense, Taif rose, and ambergris tell a story of uncompromising artisanal luxury.
The Olfactory Signature of Amouage
Amouage fragrances are recognizable by their ample sillage, high longevity, and rich concentrations, typically in Eau de Parfum. The house's master perfumers (including Daniel Visentin, Karine Vinchon Spehner, Cécile Zarokian) work on oriental, woody, and gourmand accords built with rare raw materials: Cambodian oud, Indian Ocean ambergris, Taif rose, and Hojari frankincense from Dhofar.
Amouage Collections to Discover
The classic "The Library Collection" line and bestsellers such as Interlude, Reflection, Jubilation, Honour, and Lyric represent the soul of the maison. Amouage offers fragrances for men, women, and unisex, with a strong oriental identity that blends with Western olfactory culture.
