About This Perfume

Lineage by Amouage is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. Lineage was launched in 2023. The nose behind this fragrance is Karine Vinchon Spehner. Top notes are Sichuan Pepper, Ginger, Peruvian Pepper and Saffron; middle notes are Olibanum, Myrrh and Fenugreek; base notes are Olibanum, Myrrh, Labdanum, Benzoin, Vetiver and Patchouli. THE MINERAL SHORES OF MASIRAH A dream of faraway. Sundrenched horizons, empty lands, the mineral tang of Sichuan Pepper, the pulsing radiance of Ginger and a whiff of sea spray that altogether smell like the promise of breaking free from the world. On a desert island, wrought of golden Myrrh and Frankincense, a silhouette lies beneath the sun, beneath the sky. A waft of suntan skin catches you unaware, a whiff of Fenugreek, like maple sweet, more gourmand than summer. It beckons you closer. The warmth sunsets, the saltiness of Myrrh and Frankincense absolutes appears at last under maroon strikes of Benzoin and Labdanum. A song of salty incense, of mineral warmth and summer meditations, Lineage is the scent of travelling far from home to get closer to yourself.

The Brand

Amouage

Amouage has 151 perfumes indexed on Scendira, spanning launches from 1983 to 2026, the longest history of any brand in our catalogue. Across that same mapped set, woody is the top accord (47%), followed by amber (37%), warm-spiced (25%), fresh-spicy (19%), and aromatic (19%), giving the house a rich, resinous, woody-amber signature typical of niche luxury perfumery. Sandalwood, rose, and patchouli lead on notes, with frankincense and labdanum close behind. Prices run $80 to $590, with a $395 median, the highest of any brand on Scendira and well above mass-market Arabic houses. The range leans unisex (52%), with feminine (27%) and masculine (21%) behind. By community mentions, Guidance leads with 284 mentions, ahead of Reflection Man (111) and Outlands (110).

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. Sample first if: you're new to niche pricing; Amouage sits well above mass-market Arabic houses, so a decant or sample is the lower-risk way in. Skip if: you're working with a budget under $80; Amouage's entire catalogue starts above that floor.

Most-Discussed Amouage Perfumes on Scendira

By community mentions across Scendira's data, Guidance is the most-discussed Amouage perfume with 284 mentions, ahead of Reflection Man (111), Outlands (110), and Guidance 46 (104). Interlude Man, Interlude Black Iris, Reflection 45 Man, and Lilac Love follow closely, reflecting a catalogue with several well-known names rather than one runaway favorite. Each has its own page here with real community sentiment and the honest downside.
