B683 Extrait

Clarity, confidence and momentum. Decision by Amouage is a bright, woody-citrus fragrance that opens peppery and sparkling with bergamot, pink pepper and cardamom, cools into frankincense, juniper and myrrh, and settles on patchouli, cedarwood and warm vanilla. Fresh, woody and aromatic.

The Story

Created by perfumer Quentin Bisch under creative direction by Renaud Salmon, Decision belongs to Amouage's Odyssey collection (2025) and takes inspiration from Jebel Shams, the high Omani mountain.

The Eau de Parfum is presented at a 33% oil concentration, aged five weeks, three of maceration and two of maturation.

How It Smells

Opening
Bright and peppery: bergamot and pink pepper add a citrus-mineral sparkle, with cardamom.

Heart
Frankincense, juniper and myrrh bring a cool, resinous woodiness.

Dry Down
Polished Atlas cedarwood adds a smooth, glossy sheen as the fragrance settles into warm vanilla and patchouli.

About the perfumer – Quentin Bisch →

Decision 42 is a new 2026 Exceptional Extrait from Amouage, created by perfumer Quentin Bisch. It takes the original Decision DNA and makes it darker, smokier, richer and more intense, with an exceptionally high 42% perfume oil concentration.

The original Decision centers on a lightning strike near a juniper tree. Decision 42 raises the stakes: neroli, cardamom and cinnamon sharpen the lightning effect, while juniper meets patchouli and rectified pine tar for a darker, smokier profile. Vanilla and labdanum make the base warmer and more life-affirming. Fierce, uncompromising and dazzling.

How it smells: Brilliant spice and citrus collide with dark woods, smoky resins and incense, then settle into warm, ambered vanilla. Compared with the original Decision, it is deeper, smokier and more resinous, with a stronger emphasis on woods and incense.

Fragrance notes:
Top: Pink Pepper, Bergamot, Cardamom, Neroli, Cinnamon
Heart: Frankincense, Juniper, Myrrh, Sandalwood, Rectified Pine Tar
Base: Patchouli, Cedarwood, Vanilla, Labdanum

Details: 42% perfume oil concentration, aged six weeks (four weeks of maceration and two of maturation). Amber, woody and aromatic.

A forest of sequoia and sacred frankincense. Opus XVI Timber by Amouage is an elegant woody composition of cypress, juniper, cardamom, lavandin, fir balsam, frankincense and a creamy palo santo and sandalwood base.

The Story

Tropical intensity wrapped in luxury. Oud Maracujá by Maison Crivelli is a bold, seductive Extrait de Parfum where vibrant passionfruit, luminous Turkish rose and saffron meet precious oud, rich leather, glowing amber and creamy vanilla. Exotic sophistication with irresistible presence, composed by perfumer Jordi Fernandez.

The Story

The house frames Oud Maracujá as a passion fruit tasting in remote oud wood forests: the richness of oud set against bright, exotic fruit, in a thirst-quenching fruity oud that is unisex and contemporary in design. Vibrant passionfruit wrapped around refined oud, rather than buried by it, makes it one of the most unusual openings in modern perfumery.

How It Smells

Opening
Bold and exotic: a radiant burst of passionfruit and saffron over Turkish rose, juicy, tart and sparkling, like fresh tropical fruit meeting warm spice and velvet petals.

Heart
Darker and richer as oud, benzoin and Indonesian patchouli leaf rise through the fruity brightness, a luxurious contrast between tropical sweetness and smoky woody depth.

Dry Down
Warm and sensual, a creamy resinous base of leather, akigalawood, amber vanilla and labdanum with a glowing sweetness.

Imperium by Electimuss London is the scent of modern success. Sparkling citrus, elegant florals, creamy vanilla, and rich woods come together in a fragrance that feels powerful yet refined. Versatile, magnetic, and unmistakably luxurious, Imperium commands attention with quiet confidence.

What It Smells Like

Imperium opens bright, sparkling, and instantly luxurious with a burst of bergamot sharpened by aromatic coriander. The first impression is clean, uplifting, and energetic—fresh citrus with a refined spicy edge rather than a simple fruity freshness. Brand materials describe it as an aromatic woody citrus fragrance.

As it develops, elegant white florals begin to appear, giving the fragrance a creamy sophistication. Notes commonly listed include jasmine, lily, saffron, tuberose, neroli, and rose, which create a smooth floral heart without making it overly sweet or feminine. It feels polished, modern, and highly wearable.

The dry down is where Imperium becomes addictive—vanilla, musk, amber, guaiac wood, patchouli, and oud create a rich yet clean finish. The vanilla is creamy and sensual, while woods keep it masculine and confident. It smells expensive, versatile, and effortlessly attractive.

Lavender, spice and leather from the cradle of perfume. Egypt by Eight & Bob is a sophisticated tribute to the mystique and grandeur of an ancient civilization: aromatic freshness, warm spice and sensual woods in an elegant unisex composition. Lavender, lemon and moss open it, cardamom and nutmeg warm the heart, and leather, patchouli and sandalwood close it.

The Story

Egypt comes from the private collection of Albert Fouquet, the perfume enthusiast behind Eight & Bob, and was inspired by his travels in Egypt, by the plants and flowers of an Egyptian friend's garden and by the essences used for thousands of years in the birthplace of perfume. The house itself dates to 1937, when a young American student asked Fouquet for samples, including "one for Bob."

How It Smells

Opening
Fresh and aromatic: lavender and lemon with a mossy edge give a refined brightness.

Heart
Cardamom and nutmeg deepen it into elegant spice and mossy woods.

Dry Down
Smooth leather, patchouli and creamy sandalwood create a rich, sensual warmth without heaviness.

Dark cherry liqueur over creamy vanilla woods, with a smoky, boozy edge. Rouge Smoking Extrait by BDK Parfums is a darker, richer and intensely sensual interpretation of the iconic Rouge Smoking, created by perfumers Amélie Bourgeois and Margaux Le Paih Guérin. Juicy cherry, red mandarin and almond open the scent, a creamy milk accord and balsamic resins form the heart, and saffron, oud wood, black vanilla, rum and patchouli leave a glamorous, addictive trail.

The Story

How It Smells

Opening
Juicy and vibrant from the cherry and red mandarin, softened by almond sweetness, with a bright lift of pink pepper, bergamot and elemi.

Heart
Warmer and more seductive: milk accord, tonka bean and Peru balsam, with labdanum adding balsamic richness.

Leather stripped to its raw essence. Cuoium by Orto Parisi layers rich hides with incense, cade wood, labdanum and patchouli, lifted by black pepper and mandarin and softened by violet and vanilla. Bold, sensual and uncompromising.

The Story

Cuoium is presented by Orto Parisi as an animal tribute to the know-how of the leather crafts. Warm incense and violet sweetness meet leather, with mandarin adding citrus freshness. The bottle itself nods to the craft: it is the only Orto Parisi fragrance sold with a removable, reusable vegetable leather cover.

How It Smells

Opening
Dark, intense and commanding, with leather, smoke and resinous warmth. Black pepper and mandarin add a sharp lift, like opening the door of an old leather workshop filled with expensive hides and smouldering woods.

Heart
The leather grows smoother and more textured. Animalic nuances, earthy woods and smoky balsamic facets emerge with a touch of violet, a raw sensuality that feels both dangerous and refined. This is dark leather, not soft suede.

Dry Down
Warm, smoky and unforgettable. Cade wood, cedar, incense, labdanum, patchouli and vanilla hold close to the skin with lingering leather.
