Amouage Search EDP

Introduction

Amouage Search is a striking citrus-woody composition by Alexis Grugeon. It opens with the energy of freshly zested citrus before transforming into a smoky, resinous heart, offering a fresh yet unmistakably characterful Amouage signature.

Fragrance Journey

Top Notes: Lime, lemon and mandarin orange.

Heart Notes: Olibanum (frankincense), black pepper and elemi.

Base Notes: Cade oil, vetiver and guaiac wood.

The opening is vivid and juicy, bursting with sparkling lime and lemon peel. As it settles, resinous frankincense and peppery elemi introduce a smoky, incense-like depth. The drydown turns dry and woody, with tarry cade oil, earthy vetiver and smoky guaiac wood giving Search a rugged, sophisticated finish.

Performance

Longevity is good for a citrus-forward scent, typically six to eight hours, with lively projection that softens into a smoky, woody sillage. Search performs best in warm and mild weather and is highly versatile between day and night. It suits a broad audience who enjoy fresh yet distinctive fragrances.

Best Occasions

Wear Search to the office, daytime outings, brunches and warm-weather events where a bright yet refined signature is welcome. It is versatile enough for everyday wear and interesting enough for a smart evening out.

Climate & Wear Advice

Search is well-suited to hot weather, its zesty citrus staying fresh and lively on hot afternoons. During the rainy season and cooler, drier the smoky woods add cosy depth. It sits crisply in air-conditioned offices, the cool air keeping the citrus sparkling while the smoky woods add quiet sophistication. This makes Search one of the more heat-friendly Amouage options for warm, humid climates: bright and effortless by day, with a little more layered on in the evening for added presence. Applied over moisturised skin its longevity improves noticeably, the frankincense, vetiver and guaiac wood grounding the citrus so it lasts through a busy day.
