Existence by Amouage is an exquisite Oriental Floral fragrance that transcends the boundaries of gender and time. Launched in 2025, this creation by the visionary perfumer Quentin Bisch captures the very essence of life’s dualities — light and shadow, fragility and strength, presence and transcendence. It is a scent designed for those who find beauty in contrasts and depth in emotion.

The fragrance opens with a bright, ethereal aura of aldehydes, lily of the valley, and rose. This luminous introduction evokes purity and serenity, like a fresh dawn breaking over soft petals. The aldehydes lend a sparkling, almost celestial glow, while lily of the valley and rose weave a delicate floral harmony that feels both classic and modern — a nod to Amouage’s mastery of elegant beginnings.

As the heart unfolds, frankincense, Mystikal, and labdanum emerge, bringing a resinous, spiritual warmth to the composition. This heart is where Existence reveals its soul — deep, contemplative, and mysterious. The interplay between smoky frankincense and the golden sweetness of labdanum creates a sacred, meditative ambiance, as though the fragrance itself breathes and evolves with every moment on the skin.

In the dry-down, white musk, benzoin, and ambergris form a sensuous and long-lasting base. These notes envelop the wearer in a comforting yet sophisticated aura that feels timeless and deeply personal. The musk adds softness, the benzoin lends a sweet resinous glow, and the ambergris brings a touch of oceanic elegance that lingers beautifully.

Existence is more than a fragrance — it is an olfactory meditation, a poetic expression of being. Elegant yet powerful, airy yet profound, it embodies the Amouage tradition of creating perfumes that tell a story, invite reflection, and celebrate the complexity of human emotion.
