Existence

Existence Eau de Parfum by Amouage is a contemplative exploration of infinity, capturing the serenity found in boundless space and time. Created by perfumer Quentin Bisch as a counterpart to Decision, Existence represents stillness, endlessness and the quiet majesty of simply being.

Luminous Lily of the Valley opens the fragrance with a delicate, radiant floral character, accompanied by the softness of rose. At the heart, frankincense introduces a spiritual, resinous depth, joined by cistus labdanum and Mystikal to create an ethereal contrast between brightness and warmth.

As the fragrance settles, ambergris, benzoin and white musk form a smooth, enveloping foundation. Benzoin reconnects the composition with an earthy richness, while white musk enhances its sense of purity and softness on the skin.

With a 20% oil concentration and four weeks of ageing - including two weeks of maceration and two weeks of maturation - Existence is an uplifting yet introspective fragrance shaped by stillness, strength and transcendence.
