Reasons

The Amouage Essences An olfactory expression of the value of time. C rafted through a revolutionary process : a double - infusion with sandalwood and artisanal oakwood barrels. Each fragrance is highly concentrated, containing 30% pure perfume oils, and underwent a meticulous six-month aging process, including a double infusion with sandalwood chips and oakwood barrels, resulting in a deep, layered scent experience. Housed in a new bottle – the first new design introduced by Amouage in 15 years – the Essences represent a pinnacle of olfactory artisanship. Reasons by Bertrand Duchaufour Cause and effect. Echoes of thought. A sequence of events. When it first emerges , Reasons is somewhat unassuming : its hazelnut opening presents a warmth that is comforting but also perhaps surprisingly unostentatious. But within moments, the scent grows, taking on an increasingly grander form . The part-herbaceous, part-fruity personality of davana creates layer upon layer of depth and complexity. Finally, the smoky woodiness of palo santo introduces a grounding, resonant earthiness – rooting the whole in a sense of timeless, harmonious stability. With tremendous complexity and gravitas, Reasons conveys the idea that although the past may be gone, its effects live on forever , supporting the present, while giving it meaning, depth and value .
