The Amouage line<\/a> was launched in the early 1980s by the Sultan of Oman, who wanted to revive the traditional art of Arabian perfumery based on frankincense and myrrh. French nose Guy Robert<\/a> was called upon to create their first fragrance, Amouage, now known as Amouage Gold. Today I am testing the men\u2019s version, Gold Pour Homme. It is said to contain 140 ingredients; the notes are listed on the Amouage website<\/a> as rock rose, lily of the valley, silver frankincense, myrrh, orris, jasmine, ambergris, civet, cedar, sandalwood, musk, patchouli, and oakmoss.<\/p>\n Amouage bills itself as “the most valuable perfume in the world”, and Guy Robert was reportedly told to spare no expense:<\/p>\n “In my kind of work,” says Robert, “you always have a dream of creating the<\/em> perfume, the one in which you are given free rein to use all the essences of your experience, your thought and imagination, no matter how expensive.”\u00a0(via saudiaramcoworld<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n It is perhaps no surprise that Robert considers Amouage his “crowning glory”, and in fact, the emphasis on quality raw materials shows in the result.<\/p>\n The top notes smell like citrus and incense, slightly reminiscent of Etro Shaal Nur<\/a> but much deeper and richer. As the citrus fades, it gets sweeter and a bit fruitier. There are said to be a number of florals other than those listed in the notes, including rose and tuberose, but the jasmine is the predominant floral note, and it is a lovely, true jasmine. The far dry down is deep incense over a woody animalic base.<\/p>\n This is a dense, heavy perfume, and not something that I would wear on a regular basis \u2014 which is just as well as I could not afford to anyway. But it is simply beautifully crafted, and I do pull my sample out from time to time just to wear a small drop. It is a nice reminder of what luxury smells like.<\/p>\n The lasting power is excellent. The women’s version of Gold is said to be similar, but with less patchouli and oakmoss. If you have tried it, please comment, but I do not find the men’s version to be particularly masculine in any case.<\/p>\n For buying information, see the listing for Amouage under Perfume Houses<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tomorrow: Amouage Ubar<\/p>\n Read the rest of this article »<\/span><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Amouage line<\/a> was launched in the early 1980s by the Sultan of Oman, who wanted to revive the traditional art of Arabian perfumery based on frankincense and myrrh.
