Discover Purpose 50 from The Excepetional Extraits collection by Amouage.
An unwavering totem of strength and assertiveness, the original Purpose Eau de Parfum employed the ageless power of Frankincense to convey a sense of feeling at peace, of finding one’s roots, of being complete. Now in the form of an Exceptional Extrait, dosed at an astonishing 50% concentration, Purpose 50 delves deeper into the base of the scent. Joining the Frankincense, the Papyrus and the Sand Vetiver from the Eau de Parfum are an authoritative Sandalwood accord – lending the whole a unique, creamy-woody earthiness – as well as a Vanillin note, which creates a more intimate bond with the wearer’s skin. Purpose 50 is a profoundly moving connection to the earth itself – with its ancient soul , its endless patience and its timeless wisdom.
Top Notes: Bergamot, Pepper (pink/rose), Frankincense, Pimento berry
Heart Notes: Rose, Vetiver (sand), Sandalwood, Papyrus
Base Notes: Saffron, Suede, Mystikal, Akigalawood, Vanilla

First purchase from Libertine and I went all out.
Purpose 50 is not just a fragrance—it’s a journey inward, grounded in confidence and clarity. From the very first spray, it commands attention with a vibrant blend of bergamot, pink pepper, and smoky frankincense, creating a bold and uplifting introduction that’s both refined and intriguing.
As it settles, the heart opens into something richer and more meditative. The papyrus and sand vetiver lend an earthy dryness, while sandalwood brings an incredibly creamy warmth that anchors everything with grace. The rose is subtle, present like a memory—never overpowering, but undeniably beautiful.
Where Purpose 50 truly shines is in its base. The suede and saffron add a sensual, luxurious depth, while vanilla and Mystikal (with a touch of Akigalawood) create a skin-bound intimacy that lingers for hours. At 50% concentration, this extrait lasts effortlessly, transforming throughout the day in a way that feels alive and deeply personal.
This is a fragrance of quiet power. Of stillness, resolve, and self-assured masculinity (though easily unisex). It's sophisticated without being pretentious, and grounded without being heavy.
Amouage has crafted something truly exceptional—Purpose 50 is a scent with soul.
