Amouage

Amouage is arguably the most prestigious niche brand from Oman (founded in 1983), famous for uncompromising raw material quality - most notably Omani Hojari frankincense and Assam oud - as well as for powerhouse performance (8-12h+) and opulent branding. The biggest bestsellers are Interlude Man (the "Blue Beast", smoky-resinous, cult status), Reflection Man/Woman (floral-woody, the ideal entry point), and Jubilation XXV/40 (blackberry-honey-oud, the classic prestige piece); more recently, Guidance from the Salmon era has become a true hit. In terms of pricing, the main line (100 ml) in the EU sits at around €300-360, while the high-end Essences Collection is significantly more expensive (heading towards €450-600+).
