Founded in 1983 in Muscat, Oman, Amouage was established by the Omani royal family to preserve and globally elevate the region's ancient perfume making heritage. The ultra luxury house bridges Eastern olfactory traditions with Western high perfumery, crafting deeply complex, opulent scents renowned for their masterful use of silver frankincense, myrrh, and rare oud. Originally envisioned as "The Gift of Kings," the brand's exquisite early creations were not actually available for public purchase and were reserved exclusively as precious protocol gifts for visiting foreign dignitaries.
