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).

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