Amouage Reasons

Olfactory philosophy. On causes and consequences. On echoes of thought. On the sequence of events...

The perfume opens with hazelnut, offering a comforting warmth. Soon after, it begins to evolve in an unexpected direction, revealing striking green and fruity tones of davana. The smoky, earthy scent of palo santo gives it depth and complexity, timelessness and harmony.

This perfume conveys the idea that the past never truly disappears—its effects last forever, supporting what we know today and giving the present meaning, depth, and value.

The perfume belongs to the Essences collection, which seeks to capture the spirit of the times and its values. Each perfume contains 30% pure perfume oils that have undergone a six-month aging process in oak barrels to develop depth and complexity. The perfumes come in bottles that mark the first new packaging design by Amouage in the last 15 years.
