Lineage
Lineage by Amouage is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with ginger, sichuan pepper, pink pepper and saffron, moves into frankincense and myrrh and dries down to frankincense, myrrh, vetiver, patchouli, benzoin and labdanum. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Sichuan Pepper Buzzy, citrus-tinged pepper. Tingles rather than burns.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Heart
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
Dry-down
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
