Lustre by Amouage is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Lustre was launched in 2024. Lustre was created by Julien Rasquinet and Paul Guerlain. Top notes are Cardamom and Orris; middle notes are Sandalwood, Cedarwood and Patchouli; base notes are Myrrh, Benzoin, Ambrarome, Labdanum, Vanilla, Styrax, Cypriol and Tonka Bean. Lustre by The House of Amouage is a sophisticated fragrance crafted through a revolutionary double-infusion process with sandalwood and artisanal oakwood barrels. This perfume offers a deep, layered scent experience, beginning with a burst of effervescent cardamom and softened by orris, which adds a sheen of luxurious romanticism. The fragrance is further enriched with sandalwood and concludes with a warm embrace of vanilla, creating a rich elegance.
