About Amouage Existence

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.

Released in 2025, Existence by Amouage arrived during a period when perfumers were rethinking classic aldehydic florals with cleaner, more modern textures. Created by Quentin Bisch for women and men, it opens with bright aldehydes over lily of the valley and rose, moves into a resinous heart of frankincense, Mystikal and labdanum, and dries to a warm amber-musky base of white musk, benzoin and ambergris. The scent reads amber-forward while also feeling fresh, white-floral and slightly soapy; community response is mixed but engaged, reflected in a 3.82/5 score from 1,017 votes and a clearly polarizing reception.

Our take

I like the crisp aldehydic opening and how the frankincense and benzoin give the floral heart some weight, but the soapy, shower-gel impression will turn some people off; it lasts impressively and works best for me in spring daytime wear.

A Closer Look

The Bottle

Existence pairs a pale green rounded rectangle with an oversized white ribbed dome cap and gold-coloured collar. The raised white emblem and neat lettering keep the front connected to Amouage, while the cap provides the ceremonial flourish. The body would be fairly forgettable on its own, but the large ribbing gives the bottle a clean, slightly playful personality. It’s more distinctive than a plain rectangular design, although the original matters chiefly to anyone who enjoys the house’s decorative shelf presence. The pale colour keeps the overall mood gentle.

Original or Clone

Quentin Bisch’s authorship gives Existence a reason to buy as the original: the named perfumer is part of this release’s identity, while an interpretation is defined only by its attempt to reproduce the fragrance. Its amber, fresh and aldehydic profile has attracted attempts from three houses, which also marks the standing of this particular release. We therefore find the original the more defensible choice for readers who care about its composition’s credited source.
