New Amouage Material

Material is a Vanilla, balsamic, woody scent created for Men and Women in 2021 by perfumer Cecile Zarokian.

Review

This scent is a beautiful woody Vanilla scent. It is refined and mature. It works well in any setting from the office to date night and anything in between. It is wearable in all seasons, but will work best in cooler weather. It is comparable to Masque Milano Tango and has been compared to Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir.

Inspiration

“Material represents a paradox. Through materiality, it evokes immateriality, teaching us to look beyond appearances and realize that what matters is often unseen.”

Notes

Vanilla Absolute and Benzoin Resinoid are immediately infused with the earthy essences of Elemi and Patchouli. Guaiac Wood and Oud are flanked closely by smoky Frankincense and leathery Labdanum in the base, followed closely by Tonka Bean Absolute that keeps the Vanillic heart going strong. The end result is an earthy Vanilla scent you won’t be able to get enough of.
