Amouage Lineage

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on ginger, sichuan pepper and peruvian pepper, moves through olibanum, myrrh and fenugreek, and settles on olibanum, myrrh and labdanum.

• ginger: sharp and fresh with a peppery bite, closer to the raw root than to gingerbread
• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
