Search
Citrus family, the one of citrus fruits and their zests, Search approaches it through lemon, lime and mandarin, before sliding toward resinous and smoky facets. Amouage launched it in 2023 as an Eau de Parfum, composed by Alexis Grugeon. Olibanum and black pepper precede a base of cade and vetiver with accents of campfire and earth.

Composition
Top
Lemon opens on a tangy freshness, sharp in its acidity. Lime brings an acidic liveliness lifted by a slight bitterness, while mandarin sparkles with a sun-kissed, luminous character. These three zests give the opening the brightness of a sunlit orchard.
Heart
Olibanum, a resin burned since Antiquity in incense, brings woody, mineral and spicy nuances. Black pepper stings and dries the accord. Elemi, a gum drawn from a tropical tree, retains a freshness reminiscent of lemon and orange, and extends the brightness of the citrus into a resinous register.
Base
Cade, an oil obtained by distilling juniper wood, releases a smoke with leathery and campfire accents. Vetiver, the root of a grass, adds wood, earth and a smoky nuance that anchors the composition in a dark, dry register.
Citrus family
The citrus family takes its name from the mythical garden of the Hesperides and brings together compositions built on citrus essences, often extracted by expression of the zests. Lemon, lime and mandarin bear its mark here, relayed by the lemony and orangey accents of elemi.
Citrus and spices on the label
Limonene and citral, frequent constituents of citrus essences, echo the lemon and mandarin; linalool is found in many flowers and zests. Eugenol and isoeugenol recall clove, coumarin recalls hay, citronellol and geraniol recall rose. Their mention says nothing about their dosage.
