Barrel-aged fragrances from Amouage
Amouage The Essences.

The Omani luxury perfume house’s latest collection gives scents the whiskey treatment.
The Essences ($600 for 100ml) was developed using a unique double-infusion process. The concentrate for each scent was infused with Australian sandalwood chips, while the bioethanol in which the concentrate is diluted was aged in handmade oakwood barrels for six months.
The collection personifies the passing of time through scent. Reasons (past) is woody and spicy with green and nutty notes, Lustre (present) is creamy orris and sandalwood, while Outlands (future) is a woody, ambery fragrance with potent pops of cardamom and vanilla.
The flacons encasing the perfumes are in themselves a first for Amouage and a departure from the signature bottle. Composed of glass covered with sand-coloured ceramic, they feature elegant, sculpted ridges that echo the shifting sands of the Omani landscape.

For the 2025 Spring-Summer season, Longchamp takes you on a walk in the garden.

There are playful gingham prints, timeless checks and bold colours borrowed from vegetables, which update the French fashion brand’s signature Le Roseau bag (from $630).
