Amouage Sequence is part of the brand’s new “The Essences” collection and was created by perfumer Julien Rasquinet. It’s positioned as a luxury extrait-strength scent with a six-month aging process and double infusion in sandalwood and oakwood barrels.

Scent profile

• Opening: juicy lychee, raspberry, saffron
• Heart: rose, osmanthus, tonka bean
• Base: leather, oud, amberwood

The overall vibe is:

• fruity-oud
• leathery
• sweet but dark
• smoky and luxurious

A lot of reviewers compare the DNA loosely to modern fruity oud fragrances like Maison Crivelli Oud Maracujá, but with a smoother Amouage-style richness and heavier leather/amber structure.
