Best Amouage Perfumes For Women

• Love Mimosa by Amouage 

• Memoir Woman by Amouage

• Love Tuberose by Amouage

• Lilac Love by Amouage

• Ciel Pour Femme by Amouage

Love Mimosa by Amouage

Love Mimosa appeals to lovers of perfume with clean and crisp florals, feels so dewy and is borderline aquatic. This perfume would be an ideal starter niche fragrance for fans of Marc Jacobs Daisy and the like. Not that they smell identical,, but they give a similar vibe of ozonic freshness and slightly sweetened florals.

Later in the drydown, it turns a little sweeter, thanks to heliotrope. At this point, it also feels powdery and the iris starts to become noticeable, which is more enjoyable than the opening.

• Top notes: Opens with Orris, Cascalone, Violet Leaf.
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Pear, Mimosa, Paradisone.  
• Base notes: At the base, Ylang - Ylang, Ambroxan, Heliotrope

• Perfume Gender: Feminine 
• Scent Accord: Amber Floral
• Longevity: Eternal
• Sillage: Strong
• Projection: Wide

Love Tuberose by Amouage

Love Tuberose is a sweet flowery perfume that surprisingly does not have an overdose of tuberose. It has a floral aroma with a hint of wood and a white pepper kind of spice while still being  creamy and delicate. It is surprisingly, very gourmand - think powdery pink bubblegum and vanilla marshmallows. There aren’t any notes that stand out that take it away from being gourmand. Only upon first spray does this have any clear floral notes.

• Top notes: Opens with Gardenia, Tuberose, Jasmine. 
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Vanilla, Whipped Cream.
• Base notes: At the base, Cedar, Sandalwood.

• Perfume Gender: Feminine
• Scent Accord: Floral Fruity Gourmand
• Longevity: 7 hours
• Sillage: Moderate
• Projection: Moderate

 

Lilac Love by Amouage

Lilac Love translates to a silky Belgian hot cocoa paired with French marshmallows dusted in powdered sugar and hazy, wispy heliotrope, all enlivened by a delicate and dewy floral accord that evokes imagery of a lilac bush in the first stages of bloom during light rainfall. If you're not a huge floral fan, do not fret as the lilac here is extremely subdued and tame, existing to add a delicate bouquet-like freshness to temper/juxtapose the dusty, powdery gourmand elements. This perfume is simple and classy, sweet and a bit mysterious.  

• Top notes: Opens with Lilac, Peony, Heliotrope, Gardenia, Jasmine, Rose.
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Tonka Beans, Cacao, Orris. 
• Base notes: At the base, Patchouli, Vanilla, Sandalwood. 

• Perfume Gender: Feminine 
• Scent Accord: Vanilla
• Longevity: 4 hours plus
• Sillage: Moderate
• Projection: Moderate

 

Ciel Pour Femme by Amouage

White musk is definitely holding Ciel together to keep it from being too fleeting. After a while, the scent's texture takes a slight turn from watery to creamy, but still in a very pure, light way.

Ciel is a delicate aquatic floral in the category of effortlessly elegant and feminine fragrances. It just smells pretty and clean while being easy breezy- a similar feeling with Prada La Femme. It has no sharp edges which usually keeps people away from florals. The intensity of this fragrance is just right. It is the same intensity you would get if you used soap or lotion rather than spraying yourself. The best part is that it is sweet without being sugary sweet.

• Top notes: Opens with Gardenia, Violet Leaf, Cyclamen. 
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Peach Blossom, Water Lily, Jasmine, Rose.
• Base notes: At the base, Cedar, Musk, Sandalwood, Amber. 

• Perfume Gender: Feminine
• Scent Accord: Floral
• Longevity: 6 hours
• Sillage: Moderate
• Projection: Moderate

 

Memoir Woman by Amouage

Memoir is a must to try on your own skin with your own body chemistry. This fragrance is mysterious, spicy, smokey and gothic but this one can go so sweet that it reminds of spiced winter holiday candy. This sweetness endures until there is just a residue of the base notes. This fragrance is somewhat linear, the most notable top note being wormwood, and a fruity sweetness which endures throughout the experience. The wormwood merges with the incense and clove when the heart notes open to become a bit deeper and fuller scent. 

• Top notes: Opens with Cardamom, Woodworm, Mandarin Orange, Pink Pepper.
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Rose, Clove, White Flower, Woodsy Notes, Pepper, Jasmine, Incense. 
• Base notes: At the base, French Labdanum, Oakmoss, Leather, Styrax, Musk, Castoreum.
• Perfume Gender: Feminine 
• Scent Accord: Chypre
• Longevity: 12 hours
• Sillage: Heavy
• Projection: Wide

 

Best Amouage Perfumes For Men

• Reflection Man by Amouage

• Interlude Man by Amouage

• Epic Man by Amouage

• Overture Man by Amouage

• Jubilation XXV Man by Amouage

Reflection Man by Amouage

When putting your nose on this one, the quality is truly undeniable. This fragrance is not recommended for teenagers or very young men. Such a floral-forward men's fragrance demands a certain level of maturity, as such this one would work for anyone above 25. It's a beautiful, reserved, clean, and fresh perfume, but it isn't as fresh and aquatic as some other summer releases out there. It's good for warm days, but not swelteringly hot summer days due to the sweetness of the base notes. All in all, it is one of the best niche men's fragrances.

• Top notes: Opens with Pink Pepper, Rosemary, Petitgrain.
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Orris Root, Neroli, Jasmine, Ylang- Ylang. 
• Base notes: At the base, Patchouli, Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver. 

• Perfume Gender: Masculine
• Scent Accord: Woody Floral Musk
• Longevity: 6 hours
• Sillage: Above average
• Projection: Moderate

 

Interlude Man by Amouage

Interlude Man slowly grows on you and is not one to blind buy. It’s extremely powerful and definitely what one should consider to be a one spray wonder.

If you want a Middle Eastern spice bomb of a scent then this is the one for you.  It is not called the blue beast for nothing

The pepper and especially oregano is overwhelming and after 20-30 minutes it dries down to a much more bearable level. It becomes much less harsh to the much more pleasant notes of labdanum, agarwood, sandalwood, and patchouli shines through with noticeable underlying leather notes.

• Top notes: Opens with Pepper, Oregano, Bergamot. 
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Amber, Incense, Labdanum, Opoponax. 
• Base notes: At the base, Sandalwood, Agarwood (Oud), Leather, Patchouli.

• Perfume Gender: Masculine
• Scent Accord: Amber Woody
• Longevity: Eternal
• Sillage: Heavy
• Projection: Very Wide

 

Epic Man by Amouage

Epic Man is for a more mature classic man, at least in his 30’s and above; a masterpiece that is challenging to wear. It is a very dominant and commanding fragrance that'll make you smell like a millionaire CEO. Epic Man opens with a fresh explosion of spices, pepper and aromas; in the drydown, you start smelling the soft wood and leather.

Strong and pungent spices, sitting on a base of nice amber, some oud, a lot of incense, and some soapy musk is what this fragrance is all about. The oud is a little medicinal, and it can be polarizing for some, but it smells extremely niche. 

• Top notes: Opens with Myrtle, Mace, Caraway, Cardamom, Nutmeg, Saffron, Olibanum, and Pink Pepper
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Geranium and Myrrh
• Base notes: At the base, Musk, Styrax, Sandalwood, Cedar, Patchouli, Castoreum, Leather, Agarwood, and Incense

• Perfume Gender: Masculine
• Scent Accord: Amber Woody
• Longevity: 6 hours
• Sillage: Above average
• Projection: Moderate

 

Overture Man by Amouage

If you are serious about niche fragrances and you want something that will stand out, this is it. Overture Man captures the essence of what two very well developed athletic bodies intertwined in heated passions in just the right humidity and heat smells like. It has a very unique, high quality, bold, complex and deep fragrance.

Overture Man is all about a balsamic, resin and spicy experience that dominates from start to finish. It is amazing the way it is blended and how it unfolds itself- incense and smokiness will linger during the middle and in the dry down.

It is absolutely incredible and you will discover more of its layers and complexity every time you wear it.

• Top notes: Opens with Ginger, Saffron, Grapefruit, Nutmeg, Cardamom, Cumin and Cognac, Benzoin, Cinnamon, Labdanum, and Myrrh
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Geranium, Patchouli, Mastic, 
• Base notes: At the base, Clary Sage, Leather, Incense, Sandalwood, Smoke, and Animal Notes.

• Perfume Gender: Masculine
• Scent Accord: Woody Spicy
• Longevity: 8 hours
• Sillage: Strong
• Projection: Wide

 

Jubilation XXV Man by Amouage

Despite having 23 different notes, many being your typically challenging Amouage balsamic ones, JXXV is one of the most wearable perfumes in the Amouage repertoire. However, JXXV is not just all about incense/balsamic notes, the composition is well balanced by a harmonious combination of floral, woody, spicy, and fruit notes, particularly that ostensible blackberry note, which gives a very special touch to this olfactory melee. Unlike many people say, even though incense is notable in this perfume, it is not the pungent church, temple, or mosque incense smell you would typically get from many perfumes that feature incense.

• Top notes: Opens with Coriander, Blackberry, Labdanum, Olibanum, Tarragon, Orange. 
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Cinnamon, Honey, Orchid, Clove, Rose, Celery Seed, Bay Leaf, Guaiac Wood. 
• Base notes: At the base, Myrrh, Oakmoss, Opoponax, Musk, Agarwood, Cedar, Immortelle, Patchouli, Ambergris.

• Perfume Gender: Masculine
• Scent Accord: Amber Fougere
• Longevity: 7 hours
• Sillage: Moderate
• Projection: Moderate

Conclusion

The finest Traditional Middle Eastern Notes have been refined and brought to you by Amouage. These perfumes would set you apart from other Arabian-style perfumes, make no mistake about that.
