The Amouage Essences
An olfactory expression of the value of time. Crafted through a revolutionary process: a double-infusion with sandalwood and artisanal oakwood barrels.
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.
A light in the darkness. The gleam of a polished surface. Dazzling luminosity.
Lustre begins with a spark – a burst of effervescent cardamom that fills the air with spicy vitality. The illumination is extended and softened by orris – a uniquely powdery material that adds a sheen of luxurious romanticism, causing the composition to glow with a rich elegance. The white creaminess of the orris is furthered by sandalwood, whose smooth personality projects a sense of perpetual seamlessness. At the scent’s conclusion, a delectable vanilla embraces the whole with warm, lingering sophistication.
Reflecting, emanating and adoring light, Lustre is an unashamedly poetic olfactory expression of the desire to make the present last until the end of time.
