Sequence
Sequence by Amouage is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with lychee, raspberry and saffron, moves into rose, osmanthus and tonka bean and dries down to oud, leather and amberwood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lychee Rosy, watery and delicate. Sweet without being heavy.
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Amberwood Dry synthetic warmth, sharper than amber. Everywhere in modern masculines.
