Existence

Existence joins Amouage's catalog in 2025, in the form of an Eau de Parfum authored by Quentin Bisch. The composition is offered in a 100 ml size.

Aldehydic and floral top

Aldehydes, synthetic compounds with nuances of orange, candle wax and hot iron, open the accord. Lily of the valley brings greenness and freshness. The rose takes on a warm turn, where honey and wax can be sensed.

Resinous heart

Olibanum displays woody, mineral and spicy tonalities. Labdanum, a gum drawn from cistus, offers warmth, amber and caramel. Incense carries camphor, wax and spices, extending the evocation of a resin burning.

Animalic and balsamic base

Musk expresses itself through wood, an animalic facet and warmth. Benzoin, a resinous balsam, evokes vanilla, caramel and roasted almond. Ambergris, a material of marine origin often reconstituted today through synthesis, brings wood, camphor and an animalic note.

Oriental and amber

The oriental classification owes itself to resins and balsams: labdanum, benzoin, olibanum and incense give the warm, sweet density that defines this family. The amber facet is born from labdanum, a traditional pillar of amber accords, and from the caramelized warmth of benzoin, supported by ambergris.

Rose and lily of the valley on the label

The list declares a rose flower oil or extract, with geraniol, citronellol, geranyl acetate and rose ketones, classic constituents of this flower's odor. Hydroxycitronellal, a molecule associated with lily of the valley, echoes this note. Eugenol and beta-caryophyllene carry spicy nuances.
