Amouage Beloved Woman

The Bottle

Beloved Woman follows Amouage’s familiar recipe with a clear rectangular body, pale yellow liquid, gold-coloured ribbed dome cap and central ornament. A tiny red detail at the cap’s top gives the otherwise predictable palette a welcome spark. The body feels straightforward and slightly old-fashioned, while the domed cap supplies the ceremony and house recognition. It’s a pleasant balance between quiet and ornate, though the top is still what stays in the memory. The result is familiar, warm and more individual than a completely plain rectangular bottle.

Original or Clone

Bernard Ellena's credited authorship gives Beloved Woman a strong reason to buy the original: this is a composed work by a named perfumer, not merely a set of accords. Its warm-spicy, amber and herbal character has prompted attempts from two houses, giving the fragrance a clear place in the market. The bottle also has enough character to matter, so the original's case is stronger than sparse comparison data alone would suggest.
