A luxury house founded in Oman in 1983 and built around frankincense, rare ingredients and Arabian perfumery tradition.
Amouage has a different origin from most niche houses. It was founded in 1983 in Oman at the request of Sultan Qaboos bin Said, who wanted to revive the region's tradition of luxury perfumery and give the Sultanate a fragrant calling card. Sayyid Hamad bin Hamoud al-Busaidi, then a senior figure at the Royal Court, founded the company. The French perfumer Guy Robert created the first fragrance, Gold, drawing on materials associated with Oman, including its frankincense. For years Amouage perfumes were given as state gifts, and the house carried the tagline "The Gift of Kings."
For Lebanese shoppers, that Arabian heritage gives Amouage a natural place alongside the other houses on Esscentum. It combines Middle Eastern perfumery traditions with French craftsmanship, and sits at the luxury end of the market. This guide covers the house's story, what Esscentum currently carries, and a few gaps between the brand's famous names and the actual stock. Confirm exact pricing, notes and availability on the live Amouage collection page rather than treating anything here as fixed.
What Makes Amouage Different?
Omani origin and heritage. The house was set up to give Oman a perfume identity, and its early work leaned on regional materials such as frankincense, myrrh and rose.
Luxury positioning. One retailer notes the original bottles were designed by Asprey in gold, silver and semi-precious stones, and that bottles are now made by Baccarat and Brosse. Treat packaging details as indicative and check the product page.
Multiple collections. Esscentum's stock spans classic releases, newer lines and the recent Essences collection, plus hair and body products.
Pricing sits at the top of the market. Always confirm current pricing on the product page rather than relying on figures seen elsewhere.
Amouage Products Available at Esscentum
Esscentum's 15 Amouage products fall into three groups:
Fragrances — Gold, Decision, Line 618, Lineage, Lustre, Purpose, Reasons, Remain and Sunshine. Gold is the house's original fragrance. Lustre, Reasons and Line 618 are linked in retailer and review coverage to The Essences collection, which one retailer describes as roughly 30% concentration with a six-month aging process.
Hair perfumes — Guidance and Love Delight, a lighter format designed for hair.
Bath and body — Guidance body lotion and shower gel, and Love Delight body lotion and shower gel.
If you want the house's historical starting point, Gold is the obvious choice. If you're after the newest direction, the Essences-linked releases are where to look. For anything else, read each product page for notes and character, since we haven't described them here.
Inventory note: Guidance and Love Delight are listed only as hair perfume, lotion and shower gel, not as perfumes. Several of Amouage's other widely known fragrances, including Interlude, Reflection, Epic, Jubilation and Dia, don't appear in Esscentum's indexed catalog. Also confirm which version "Gold" and "Sunshine" refer to, since the house makes versions for men and women. Check the live collection before writing anything that implies these are available.
How to Choose the Right Amouage
Decide between classic and new
Gold represents the house's origins. The Essences-linked releases represent its newer direction. Reading the product pages side by side is more useful than choosing on reputation.
Be clear about the format
The collection mixes perfumes, hair perfumes, lotions and shower gels. Confirm the product type before ordering, especially for Guidance and Love Delight, which appear only in non-perfume formats.
Choose by profile, not label
Some Amouage releases exist in separate versions for men and women, and the house's styles vary widely. The product page is the best guide to what a given bottle smells like.
Buying Amouage in Lebanon: What to Check Before You Order
Product type and version. Confirm whether the listing is a perfume, hair perfume, lotion or shower gel, and which version where relevant.
Size and concentration. Check the format listed rather than assuming.
Current price and stock. Treat the live product page as the source of truth, and check back if a specific name isn't listed.
We're not making claims here about authorized distribution or exclusivity. Confirm that directly with the retailer if it matters to your decision.

Nine Amouage fragrances at Esscentum, plus hair perfumes and body care. Here's a practical way in.
Start with a caveat about popularity. We looked for reliable bestseller information on Amouage and didn't find any we'd trust, either global or for Lebanon. So this list doesn't claim to rank anything. It picks fragrances that make sense as first purchases, using what we could verify about each one and the observations of reviewers where we cite them. We'll update it with real Esscentum sales data when available. For the house's story, see our complete Amouage buying guide.
Also note that older Amouage releases often come in separate Man and Woman versions, while at least some newer releases are described as being for both. We've grouped picks by character rather than gender.
Best Amouage for Frankincense and Heritage
Gold — the house's first fragrance, created by Guy Robert and rooted in Omani materials including frankincense. It's the natural starting point if you care about where Amouage began. Check whether the listing is the men's or women's version.
Best Amouage for Everyday Wear
Decision — one decant retailer lists it as a 2025 launch by perfumer Quentin Bisch, with bergamot, cardamom and pink pepper on top, frankincense, juniper and myrrh in the heart, and vanilla, cedarwood and patchouli underneath. Reviewers on Parfumo describe frankincense as its backbone and call it the most versatile of the Purpose, Purpose 50 and Decision group. Treat the notes as a starting description and verify them on the product page.
Best Amouage for Incense Lovers
Purpose — released in 2023 according to Basenotes. Reviewers describe it as one of Amouage's most incense-heavy, even "churchy" releases, and as the most polarizing of its group. That makes it worth sampling first if you can. Esscentum's listing doesn't say whether it is the standard Purpose or the stronger Purpose 50, so check.
Best Newer Amouage Releases
Lustre, Reasons and Line 618 — tied in retailer and review coverage to The Essences collection, described by one retailer as roughly 30% concentration with a six-month aging process. Some reviewers say these overlap with earlier Amouage scents, so reading the product page for each is more useful than choosing by collection alone.
Best Gift-Worthy Picks
Hair perfumes and body care — Guidance and Love Delight are listed as hair perfumes, body lotions and shower gels. They suit gifting when you want a lower-commitment way to introduce someone to the house. Check each listing for its scent description, since we haven't described them here.
Gold — a meaningful gift for someone who values heritage and the house's origin story.
A note on "bestseller" claims: This list reflects ease of entry and verified background, not sales data. Replace this framing with confirmed Esscentum bestsellers once store analytics are available.
