Amouage Outlands Perfume Notes:
Outlands opens with an unexpectedly bright and invigorating array of citruses, where zesty lemon takes center stage, alongside bergamot and a touch of spicy cardamom and Sichuan pepper, with the resinous elemi and frankincense adding an intriguing lift. As the journey progresses, the landscape becomes richer and more complex, with a multi-faceted patchouli at the heart, evoking warmth, humidity, and verdant earthiness, accompanied by rose, orange blossom, and an intriguing blend of cumin, geranium, davana, saffron, anise, and coriander. Finally, the base entices you further with a potent amber accord reverberating with benzoin, labdanum, frankincense, and opoponax, alongside vanilla, birch, musks, and a touch of oud, creating a deep and layered encounter.
