Amouage Reasons EDP

Description

Reasons, from Amouage's Essences Collection, is Bertrand Duchaufour's contemplative meditation on the passage of time. A warm, nutty woody-spicy composition built at roughly 30% extrait strength. It opens on hazelnut, pink pepper, cardamom, and cinnamon, moves into a resinous, green heart of pine, cypriol, davana, white amber, and cashmeran, then settles into a dense base of palo santo, myrrh, sandalwood, benzoin, cedarwood, oakmoss, labdanum, vetiver, and musk. It's a slow, reflective fragrance built for quiet confidence rather than immediate impact.
