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. It captures the balance in a major decision between holding a clear goal and staying open to other possibilities. The Eau de Parfum is presented at a 33% oil concentration, aged five weeks, three of maceration and two of maturation.

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

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 primeval, smoke-charred roar of resin, leather and ancient blooms. Zoologist Tyrannosaurus Rex pairs fir, black pepper and laurel with a heart of rose, champaca and ylang ylang, over a base of cade, frankincense, leather, patchouli and cedar. Perfumer Antonio Gardoni composed it for Zoologist Perfumes, which released it in 2018.

The Story

A sultry heat wafts across the land, lapped up greedily by the abundant flora that thrives in its midst. Trees soar to majestic heights and plants flower for the first time, their petals giving birth to a world rich in diversity. The Cretaceous period comes of age against a backdrop scorched by wildfire and lightning strikes, and over this turbulent landscape a massive predator looms. Giants rule the earth, but even giants can be cut down by the powerful jaws of the fearsome tyrannosaur, who stands tall and fears nothing until a fire in the sky signals the end of the reign. Zoologist Tyrannosaurus Rex is a gargantuan scent that sinks its teeth into the world of delicate fragrances and rips it wide open. Primitive woods and florals snatch you away to an ancient era; smoky, charred wood warns of smouldering fire, while droplets of metallic rose oxide offer a chilling premonition of blood-lust. It is sometimes menacing, sometimes fascinating, but never ordinary.

How It Smells

Opening
Fir, laurel leaf, black pepper and nutmeg hit first, lifted by bergamot and neroli.

Heart
Rose, jasmine, champaca, osmanthus, geranium and ylang ylang bloom with a slightly metallic edge.

Dry Down
Cade smoke, frankincense and resins join leather, cedar, patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla in a dark, charred finish.

The Story

The fragrance centres on prized oud, valued for its scarcity and long maturation.

Opening
Dark, luxurious and spicy. Cardamom and pepper sit over bright bergamot, with nutmeg adding warmth.

Heart

A true adventure scent: vanilla, resin and oak barrels. Memoirs Of A Trespasser is an Imaginary Authors eau de parfum of Madagascar vanilla, guaiacwood, myrrh and benzoin resin, with ambrette seeds and oak barrels. Suggested for travel and for returning home, it evokes a fireplace, a wood-paneled library or the first sip of expensive whiskey.

The Story

The early exploration writing of Philip Sava bent the limits of post-modern fiction, revealing fantastical worlds that fooled many into believing they were, in fact, real. Sava's kaleidoscopic collections, of which Memoirs of a Trespasser is the undeniable centerpiece, drew upon true experiences from his exotic travels but were infused with a hallucinatory inventiveness that set his work apart from others in the genre. Though Sava had associates all over the world, he spent most of his time living in solitude on a ranch in southern Madagascar. When interrogated by the press on his cloistered lifestyle he notoriously answered, "Who needs love when there is still cognac in the glass?"

How It Smells

Opening
Creamy Madagascar vanilla over smoky guaiacwood.

Heart
Myrrh and benzoin resin add a balsamic, incense-like depth, with the powdery warmth of ambrette seeds.

Dry Down
Oak barrels lend a lingering, boozy-woody finish.

A night flight from a tropical fruit feast to a damp, mineral cave. Zoologist Bat moves from fig, passion fruit and pink guava over a soil accord into hay, incense and night-blooming jasmine, then down to leather, teak, vetiver and mossy stones. Perfumer Prin Lomros composed this 2020 reinterpretation for Zoologist Perfumes.

The Story

Mystical, mysterious murmurings glide upon a blanket of inky sky, and shadows smear across the moonlight as bats, the only mammal capable of true flight, make their darting journey through the dark. Zoologist Bat escorts you on an odyssey through the night, carrying you with the fruit bat to a sumptuous feast in a lush tropical jungle before whisking you down to the recesses of its cavernous home. Sweet guavas and passion fruits ensnare you with addictive notes, then beckon you deep with primordial mineral scents that evoke a rugged enclosure redolent with hints of damp soil and vegetal roots. Hang, draped in pitch black, as alluring musk wafts over you with every unfolding of the thousands of leathery wings that surround you.

Ripe fig, passion fruit and pink guava sit over an earthy soil accord.

A caravan of dried fruit, incense and oud crossing an endless desert. Zoologist Camel pairs rose and jasmine-infused dried fruits and sweet palm date with frankincense, myrrh, cinnamon and amber, then settles into oud, sandalwood and vanilla. Perfumer Christian Carbonnel composed it for Zoologist Perfumes in 2017.

The Story

On a trek through an unforgiving desert, starting point and destination are indistinguishable. Terracotta-hued dunes twist and writhe, their shapes ever shifting, and only the merciless sun and aloof constellations can be trusted to point the way. Weighed down by treasures, some tempting the eyes with their glittering sheen, others enticing the taste buds with exotic aromas, the camel plods toward a far-off marketplace. Water is a dream for now, the taste of sweet dates a distant memory. In Zoologist Camel, beautiful aromas of rose and jasmine-infused, succulent dried fruits are joined along the way by an alluring blend of incense, myrrh, amber and cinnamon, then met by animalistic musks and authentic oud in a rich tapestry. This sensual caravan of fragrance carries you along on the camel's long, lonely journey across the ageless desert.

How It Smells

Opening
Sticky dried fruits and palm date, glossed with rose and a thread of frankincense.

Heart
Myrrh, incense, amber and cinnamon warm the middle, with jasmine, orange blossom and cedar adding floral and woody lift.

Dry Down
Oud, sandalwood, tonka bean, vanilla and vetiver sit over musks and a civet accent for a deep, resinous finish.

The frail glow of the waning moon dwindles until only impenetrable blackness persists across the grasslands. A herd of deer venture tentatively into the expanse. Though their long necks dip to feed, their dainty legs remain tense, poised to flee. Nearby, gleaming gold eyes pierce the gloom, and silky ears stiffen, attuned to the softest tremor. The tiger advances haltingly, intent on its prey, anticipating a moment of vulnerability. In a seamless motion, it leaps and descends upon its victim, its razor-sharp fangs sinking deep into the deer’s throat. As the deer’s life fades, its herd is already gone, evaporating into the night.

Like the thrill inspired by a low, rumbling growl cutting through silence, Zoologist Tiger couples danger with majesty. Vetiver’s earthy body is licked with stripes of kumquat, saffron and jasmine in an elegant pattern. Incense lurks at the edges, shrouded by smoky undertones of papyrus and ebony wood. Tiger arouses intrigue, putting those around you on high alert.
