Essences is the only Amouage collection to undergo an extended ageing ritual. Producing a concentration that surpasses Eau de Parfum in depth and longevity.
Concentration: 30% Essence De Parfum
Ageing Process:
6 months oakwood barrel infusion of bio ethanol
6 months infusion of the concentrate with sandalwood chips
2 weeks maceration
When it first emerges, Reasons is somewhat unassuming: its hazelnut opening presents a warmth that is comforting but also perhaps surprisingly unostentatious. But within moments, the scent grows, taking on an increasingly grander form. The part-herbaceous, part-fruity personality of davana creates layer upon layer of depth and complexity. Finally, the smoky woodiness of palo santo introduces a grounding, resonant earthiness – rooting the whole in a sense of timeless, harmonious stability.
Each fragrance is highly concentrated, containing 30% pure perfume oils, and underwent a meticulous six-month aging process, including a double infusion with sandalwood chips and oakwood barrels, resulting in a deep, layered scent experience. Housed in a new bottle – the first new design introduced by Amouage in 15 years – the Essences represent a pinnacle of olfactory artisanship.
