An Olfactive Tale of Knowledge and Pleasure – Amouage Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco

Continuing to unearth new discoveries in perfumery, Amouage has released its latest olfactive tale. One of knowledge and aesthetic pleasure, Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco is a fragrant journey along the Tropic of Cancer from Oman to Cuba, connecting Royal Frankincense to Regal Tobacco. The perfume references the tradition of ‘El Lector’, whose role was to read to cigarmakers in Cuban factories, captivating them with riveting novels like Les Misérables by Victor Hugo and works by Honoré de Balzac, Stendhal, Edgar Allan Poe or Herman Melville until it became an honored ritual as synonymous with the rolling floor as the scent of tobacco. Interpreted by renowned perfumer Cécile Zarokian, a unique accord of Frankincense and Tobacco bursts alive in a novel and rich sensory experience.

As the 23rd parallel north unites the sundrenched shores of Cuba and Oman, Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco weaves as one their iconic treasures, Royal Frankincense and Tobacco Absolute, hence bearing the name of Royal Tobacco. Both fumigated since the earliest days of recorded history, their vertical signature imprints the entire evolution of the perfume, each enriched with supporting notes that reveal and sublime their complex personality.

Aromatic flashes of Cardamom and Elemi light up a voluptuous heart shining with many facets of flowers and balsams casting their reflections upon the Frankincense and Tobacco duo. Emboldened by Benzoin, Labdanum and Myrrh, ambery notes of Vanilla Absolute and Tonka Bean echo the coumarinic depth of Fenugreek while graceful volutes of Prunol, Bulgarian Rose and Osmanthus Absolute evoke the fruitiness and floralcy of high-end cigars. Supported by Anise and Basil, the typically treacly burnt molasses notes of Liquorice act as a link with the choral finale of smoky Birch Tar, Vetiver and Guaiacwood amped up by the glaring animality of Oud. Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco is a daring, lavish, deep and modern creation fit for men and women alike.

Royal Tobacco is a heady tour de force, inspired by the evocative accord of Tobacco and Frankincense and the cultural innovation that led to new paths of knowledge. Staying true to the Library Collection’s original ethos, it chronicles the one instance in the modern era when tobacco (smoke – fūmus) and reading (knowledge) were linked in a collective setting.

Renaud Salmon, Creative Director and Chief Experience Officer at Amouage.

Joining the reshaped Library Collection as a true testament to how the search for knowledge transforms our existence, Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco reawakens the legends and cultures surrounding Cuban tobacco – its factories roasting in the summer, its hand rolled cigars, the Lectors’ thundering voice quieting the production lines, the heat of embers and the cold ashes – seeking balance through contradiction, to not only strengthen its qualities with warm, deep, and resinous ingredients, but also create a bright floral heart with a sense of aromatic relief. A Tobacco indeed, but a contemporary one and respectful of the nobility of the raw material itself; of the dried, rolled, veined, smoked and leathery leaf.

True to the roots of Amouage, Omani heritage and excellence, Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco is housed in Amouage’s iconic ‘Khanjar’-inspired flacons with an organic ceramic finish in earthy Truffle and Cashmere colours; a true reflection of the craft and authenticity of Oman. Original artworks created by Louise Mertens adorn the packaging and are an integral part of a series of analog art visuals shot by Valentin Abad, and movies shot by Thomas Savary.

Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco and the other fragrances of the Library Collection are available for purchase at Amouage boutiques, on their website, and selected stores worldwide. Come into the beautiful world of Amouage.

Daring, cultured, and full of mystique, the powerful fragrances are a symphony of some of the world’s rarest and most sought-after ingredients created by renowned perfumers Annick Menardo (Woman) and Karine Spehner Vinchon (Man). Standing across the stage from one another, they are a timeless and extraordinary performance immortalised in scent.

New Amouage Attars: An Ode to the Oldest Form of Perfume Known to Mankind

Amouage Attars Collection

An homage to the beauty, nobility and wealth of the empires that gave perfume its first golden age, Amouage has released an ensemble of six Attars that reunite two schools of fragrance, the technical with the olfactive, to give birth to a new generation of perfume. The sublime and modern pure fragrant oils, from the minds (and noses) of Perfumers Cécile Zarokian, Dominique Ropion and Julien Rasquinet, draw inspiration from the Sultanate of Oman – its rich traditions, rare natural treasures and inherent passion for fine fragrance.  

Attars have always been a staple of the House, previously only available in Oman. On discovering them, famous perfume author Luca Turin said, “I felt a mixture of pride and frustration at being in possession of a thing of beauty that few others could share.” Today, Amouage is reintroducing the world to the oldest form of perfume known to mankind, as it continues to push the boundaries of perfumery under the creative direction of Renaud Salmon.   

We are proud to be able to extend our Attars beyond Oman and share them with the world. Our ambition was to stay true to the Attars’ noble and precious reputation, taking advantage of their history while infusing them with Amouage’s own innovative creative approach. It is the Attars strength and their resonance that has allowed us to reinvent them for a changing olfactory landscape without denying their identity.

Renaud Salmon, Amouage Creative Director

He added, “Rare, precious, and unique, they are at once modern and ancestral, rooted in a truly Omani tradition and heritage. Derived from natural ingredients and radiating ethereal beauty, they are much more than simple fragrance, they are an intimate, authentic and ritualistic custom; a signature scent of connoisseurs, and a way of self-expression that has transcended civilizations.”

The application of the Attar itself is a profoundly soothing experience, gently smeared directly on pulse points – the wrists, below the ear, inside the elbow or behind the knee – where the heat generated by the blood flow gives the Attar the warmth it needs to fully blossom. A fundamental part of the ceremony of Arabian perfumery, they are best worn according to a traditional practice known as Layering. An art in itself, the custom involves combining several Attars and fragrances in order to create a complex and unique sillage every day; sublimating, rather than improving, the main scent.

Amouage’s six Attars have been skillfully created with this ritual in mind. Inspired by villages in Oman, from the beguiling delicacy of blossom-strewn mountains to the sacred aura of ancient settlements, ‘Orris Wakan’, ‘Rose Aqor’, ‘Vanilla Barka’, ‘Incense Rori’, ‘Saffron Hamra’, and ‘Oud Ulya’, adroitly capture the soul of each of these ‘hidden gems’ and translate them into lasting fragrances that are flawless when worn alone or layered with one another.

The Amouage Attar Collection available in 12ml flacons enclosed in a lacquered wooden coffret as well as a beautiful Sampler Set including all six Attars in 0.5ml. The entire collection of 12 ml Attars is also available in a luxurious coffret set. The Attars can be purchased at their website, Amouage boutiques and selected stores worldwide starting January 2022. Come into the beautiful world of online at Amouage.

Amouage: Gift of Kings

The House of Amouage is honouring its ancient seafaring heritage, staying true to its Omani roots. For hundreds of years seafaring used the stars to chart a course across oceans, bridging civilisations, sharing cultures and cultivating friendships from the distant East to the West.

In its re-imagination of the Art of Gift Giving, The House of Amouage highlights the work of contemporary artist Gaëtan Bernede, who has painted over ancient maps of the sky taken from archives, giving new life to each of the constellations and their animal interpretations.

The complete Gift of Kings assortment is available at Amouage Gift of Kings, and at selected stores worldwide. Come into the beautiful world of Amouage.

Generosity and Time Captured in a Quartet of Amouage Exceptional Extraits

Amouage Exceptional Extraits

Pursuing its quest to push the boundaries of fragrance creation, Amouage explores the sublime union between ‘generosity’ and ‘time’ in a quartet of four ‘Exceptional Extraits’. Concentrated at the highest industry standards and aged between three to six months at the House’s Manufacture in Oman,’Honour 43 Woman’ (First Batch), ‘Epic 56 Woman’ (First Batch), ‘Reflection 45 Man’ (First Batch) and ‘Interlude 53 Man’ (Third Batch) each reveal hidden facets and depths that unfurl across every dimension, making them richer, more potent, and gifted with extended longevity. An aesthete’s dream born from a visionary mindset that challenges contemporary practices, the Amouage Exceptional Extraits are a rarity conceived without limit or constraint, incompatible with any approach within the industry.

The Amouage Exceptional Extraits came to life from our ambition to craft the very best perfumes we could offer. They started as an instinctive experiment because, although Amouage has created Extraits in the past, none of them had been aged to this extent at such concentrations, containing between 43% and 56% pure oils. These Exceptional Extraits require both humility and patience. Humility is needed in the face of living natural materials which are the result of the work of both nature and man, with no guarantees about how they develop and what the result will be. Patience is necessary to reflect, to age and to question, to blend components, to go back and start again, to choose a better path or to wait those long hours before the perfumes see the light of day. Each Exceptional Extrait is released only when the perfumer and myself consider that it has reached a window of expression, telling us a story that is new and exciting enough to share with discerning perfume connoisseurs.

Renaud Salmon, Amouage Chief Experience Officer

The Amouage ‘Exceptional Extraits’ are the result of a succession of aging steps which progressively define their exquisite character. After five to ten weeks of Maturation, the concentrates reach a first plateau: they show promise, completeness and harmony. Everything is in place. This is when alcohol is carefully added and the slow Maceration stage starts: inimitable and irreproducible, it will last between three and sixteen weeks. The content of each tank is evaluated on a weekly basis, with every observation carefully noted. The perfumes progressively become more intense, precise and vibrant, energized by the transformation. A true metamorphosis: their universe expanded where all the components are completely integrated and the creations become more complex than ever…

For almost 40 years, Amouage has carved a renowned reputation amongst the select circle of leading high-end perfume Houses around the world. This recognition is the fruit of the House’s unwavering dedication to perfumery and a coveted portfolio of high-quality Eau de Parfum containing a generous 20% to 30% pure oils.

Amouage has a portfolio of high-quality Eaux de Parfum containing 20% to 30% pure oils. The four Exceptional Extraits, with their atypically high concentration ranging between 43% and 56%, now reveal a deeper story of some of the house’s best known perfumes. The number in the name of each new edition signifies the percentage of the perfume concentration. 

Amouage Epic 56 Woman

As empowering as its name

Inspired by the legends of the Silk Road, ‘Epic Woman’ (2009) is Amouage’s iconic spicy, ambery fragrance that blooms under the mystical twilight stretching between China and Arabia. With the highly concentrated ‘Epic 56 Woman’, perfumer Cecile Zarokian displays her prowess for striking the difficult yet marvelous balance of extremes at a high dosage: 56%.

Top: Cumin, Pink Peppercorn, Cinnamon
Heart: Damascene Rose, Geranium, Jasmine Tea
Base: Amber, Musk, Oud, Frankincense, Guaiac Wood, Orris, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vanilla

After almost five months of aging, the piquancy of the spices remains fiery and vibrant as it meets a deeper than ever ambery counterpart. Both extremes come together in a show stopping crescendo, revealing a faceted rose heart. Cold vibrancy meets golden warmth. Torn between shadow and light, ‘Epic 56 Woman’ is a synthesis of contradictions.

Amouage Reflection 45 Man

Fresh, floral and woody notes intertwine to evoke images of blossoming meadows

The quintessence of masculine refinement, ‘Reflection Man’ (2007) captures the seductive power of a man’s inner strength, expressing confident and enhanced sophistication. Given the gift of time and a generous 45% concentration of perfume oil, ‘Reflection 45 Man’ reveals an assertive character, delicate complexity and crystalline elegance.

Top: Benzoin, Pink Peppercorn, Clary Sage, Lavender, Cardamom, Juniper Berry
Heart: Neroli, Orris, Jasmine, Angelica, Tonka Bean, Vanilla
Base: Vetiver, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Myrrh, Frankincense, Opoponax

Created by perfumer Lucas Sieuzac, this woody floral musk scent, aged for four months, presents an elaborate scent woven with freshness and floralcy. The composition juxtaposes bright aromatic notes, velvety orris and creamy floral notes with sensual and enveloping layers of vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood, combined with spices. Virile and unexpectedly soft at the same time. A luxurious modern classic.

Amouage Interlude 53 Man

To achieve perfect harmony, time is everything – rejoice in this elevation of the beloved aroma

A soul-gripping explosion of balsams and spices, ‘Interlude Man’ (2012) is a sublime display of a moment of harmony in the middle of the chaos. At the crossroads of extreme concentration and extended aging, ‘Interlude 53 Man’ is the exceptional extrait version of perfumer Pierre Negrin’s iconic creation. Formulated at a 53% dosage and aged for 6 months, this third batch reveals hidden facets and depths of its original form. But ‘Interlude 53 Man’ kept the same formula entirely.

Top: Bergamot, Oregano, Pimento Berry
Heart: Amber, Frankincense, Cistus, Opoponax
Base: Leather, Agarwood, Patchouli, Sandalwood

Where Interlude was colourful chaos, the maturity of ‘Interlude 53 Man’ transmits completeness and more harmony. Every ‘Interlude 53 Man’ batch is ever so slightly different: the soul of batch #3 reveals subtle notes of resins in fusion, like candied honey pouring into a tumultuous flow of dark and smoky woods.

Amouage Honour 43 Woman

The opulent perfume will look remarkable in your beauty cabinet

Originally created as a Venusian ode to the fate of Madame Butterfly, ‘Honour Woman’ (2011) is a consecration of poetry, beauty and femininity. A decade later, presented in a concentration of 43%, ‘Honour 43 Woman’ is perfumer Alexandra Carlin’s elevated interpretation of Amouage’s heady white floral perfume.

Top: Pepper, Rhubarb Leaves, Coriander
Heart: Jasmine, Tuberose, Gardenia, Lily-of-the-Valley, Carnation
Base: Sandalwood, Labdanum, Vetiver, Frankincense, Opoponax, Leather

Taking it to new heights, the white flowers – Jasmine, Tuberose, Gardenia, Lily of the Valley – have been taken through a slow yet active aging process, keeping each fragile note alive and bafflingly, insolently, youthful. The four floral essences continue to evolve and be magnified: aged and richer, yet more energized. This is the confounding paradox of ‘Honour 43 Woman’ and it makes the sensorial experience totally different.

Available in limited quantities, the ‘Exceptional Extraits’ come in luxurious lacquered 100 ml flacons adorned by the House’s signature ‘Gift of Kings’ seal and can be purchased today on their website, or at Amouage boutiques and selected stores worldwide. Come into the beautiful world of Amouage.

Oman’s Fragrant Gift of Kings: Amouage.

The story of Amouage started in 1983 from the desire to create an invaluable gift that would be offered by the Sultan of Oman to his guests. A present containing the country’s greatest natural treasures: the finest quality of Frankincense from its southern plateau, Rock Rose harvested at the top of the green mountains and Ambergris that lands at random on its pristine coast. The great perfumer Guy Robert was commissioned to compose Amouage’s debut fragrance. He created Gold, a magnificent blend built around these three great natural ingredients. The story of the “Gift Of Kings” was born.

In its reimagination of the art of gift giving, Amouage has curated an assortment of twelve beautiful gifts, available in 3 different formats: The Precious (selections of three 10ml luxury travel sprays), The Grand (three 50ml fragrances) and The Magnificent (three 100ml fragrances). Each gift is housed in specially curated boxes enveloped in floral masterpieces from the 19th century Qajar Dynasty, courtesy of the British Museum.

The Gift Of Kings: perfectly paired iconic fragrances to delight those you love with a regal gift of pure Amouage luxury.
