Meander

Meander by Amouage is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with frankincense, carrot seed, pink pepper and black pepper, moves into iris, rose, cypriol and jonquil and dries down to frankincense, vetiver and sandalwood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Carrot Seed Earthy, rooty and oddly powdery. Often used to echo iris.
Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.

Heart

Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
Jonquil A narcissus cousin. Green, honeyed and faintly animalic underneath.

Dry-down

Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
