About This Perfume
Dia 40 Woman by Amouage is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance for women. Dia 40 Woman was launched in 2023. The nose behind this fragrance is Alexandra Carlin. Top notes are Aldehydes, Musk, Cyclamen, Violet Leaf and Black Currant; middle notes are Rose, Carnation, Ylang-Ylang, Cistus Incanus, Bay Leaf, Orange Blossom and Tarragon; base notes are Orris Root, Sandalwood, Amyris and Guaiac Wood. "The task of creating this more intoxicating version of Dia Woman fell to Alexandra Carlin. A perfumer renowned for her technical skills and her instinctive understanding of the ways materials interact with each other, she maintained the distinctive, effortless elegance of the 2002 composition whilst making its base even more profound – imbuing it with darker, more sumptuous hues. The result is a floral bouquet projecting an astonishing array of images and emotions: a breathtaking journey from sunrise to zenith and finally to sunset. At the scent’s opening, the familiar Aldehydes lend softness and delicacy to a veil of daylight-blush Musks. This is followed by the grand floral quartet of Rose, Orange Blossom, Carnation, and Ylang-Ylang: vivid, uncompromising ingredients that combine all their many shades and textures to create a vision of femininity that is now even more regal, even more graceful. In the closing stages, Orris, Sandalwood, and Amyris glow with a luminous aura: a regal shimmer beneath the vibrant intensity of the flowers. Effervescent and light-hearted, yet always exuding refinement, Dia 40 Woman sings softly of eternal beauty." Top notes: Cyclamen, Aldehydes, Musks, Blackcurrant, Violet Leaves Heart notes: Rose, Orange Blossom, Carnation, Ylang-Ylang, Cistus, Bay Leaves, Tarragon Base notes: Orris, Sandalwood, Amyris, Guaiac Wood Available in a 100ml bottle as extrait de parfum containing 40% pure perfume oils.

Is Amouage Right for You?
Best for: shoppers who want niche, prestige-tier Arabic perfumery, with a resinous woody-amber-incense signature and a $395 median price.

Skip if: you're working with a budget under $80; Amouage's entire catalogue starts above that floor.
