The Essences: Act II - The Geometry of Time An olfactory expression of the value of time. Crafted through arevolutionary 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. Sequence by perfumer Julien Rasquinet Time moves in cycles, and the circle embodies the sublime return of all things. Lush lychee and raspberry capture the sweetness of life, while saffron adds a red touch. In the heart, osmanthus and rose bloom anew, their richness deepened by tonka bean. The base is a profound embrace of leather, oud, and ambery woods, evoking the endless passage of time, where endings are merely beginnings.
