Amouage Existence in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

What it smells like

It opens clean, airy and sparkling, like white flowers beside a bar of fresh soap. Frankincense then brings a smoky, resinous depth. The base is soft and warm with ambergris and white musk.

How it wears

The perfume community reports long-lasting wear and a strong trail, though some find the reach more moderate. It is noticeable without being overpowering.

When to wear it

Wearers pick it for spring and summer, in the evening and through the day, when its clean florals and soft incense feel at ease.

Who it suits

It suits someone who likes a polished, floral scent with a quiet, incense-like depth. Men and women can both wear it, and it fits those who want clean without being plain.
