Amouage Existence

A "sci-fi" interpretation of serenity. Created by Quentin Bisch, Existence is a luminous Floral Musky fragrance inspired by the "sea of clouds" atop Jebel Shams, Oman's highest peak. It is a radical departure from traditional heavy ouds, focusing instead on a hyper-clean, "pristine whiteness." It centers on a fragile Lily of the Valley note that is stretched and expanded by cold Aldehydes and silver Frankincense. The result is a scent that feels vast, airy, and almost otherworldly like breathing in cold, sacred air above the clouds. 

Fragrance Note :

• Top : Lily of the Valley, Rose, Aldehydes (Bright, sparkling, and crisp).
• Heart : Frankincense, Mystikal®, Labdanum (Smoky, mineralic, and expansive).
• Base : White Musk, Benzoin, Ambergris (A soft, warm, and skin-like finish).

Care and Use :

• Apply : The presence of potent molecules like Mystikal®, this scent has "eternal" longevity for a floral. 
• The Experience : Be prepared for a transformation. It starts as an "explosively clean" floral before the incense and benzoin "earth it," turning it into a warm, resinous second skin.
• Store : Amouage uses high-quality natural resins and delicate florals. To maintain the "sparkle" of the aldehydes, store the bottle in its box in a cool, dark environment. Avoid light exposure, which can cause the delicate lily and rose notes to fade.
