Amouage Purpose 50

Where Frankincense Finds Its Deepest Expression

Some fragrances are designed to make an impression. Others are created to leave a lasting connection. Amouage Purpose 50 Exceptional Extrait belongs firmly in the second category, taking the signature frankincense accord of the original Purpose and exploring it with greater richness, depth and serenity.

Created by master perfumer Quentin Bisch, this Exceptional Extrait is composed with an extraordinary 50% perfume oil concentration. Creamy sandalwood, earthy papyrus and sand vetiver give the fragrance remarkable texture, while soft vanilla adds warmth that gently embraces the skin. The result is a composition that feels powerful yet calm, sophisticated yet deeply comforting.

Fragrance Experience

The fragrance opens with sparkling bergamot, vibrant pink pepper and pimento berry before luxurious frankincense immediately establishes its unmistakable presence. As the scent develops, elegant rose softens the composition while creamy sandalwood, papyrus and sand vetiver introduce a rich woody heart with exceptional depth. The dry-down becomes smoother and more intimate as suede, saffron, Akigalawood®, Mystikal® and vanilla create a warm, resinous trail that lingers beautifully for many hours.
