Meander

Meander, created by Mackenzie Reilly for Amouage in 2020, is a floral scent wrapped in incense and spice. Flowers lead, and spice, woods and resin follow strongly in people's descriptions.

Frankincense opens it with a cool, smoky resin, joined by black pepper and pink pepper for a dry, tingling spice and carrot seeds for an earthy, slightly powdery note. The heart brings rose, narcissus and orris root: rose smooth, narcissus honeyed and green, orris soft and powdery, with cypriol adding a dark, smoky earthiness. The base returns to frankincense with vetiver and sandalwood, a dry, creamy and lightly smoky finish.

Most wearers report moderate longevity, with a fair number finding it long lasting, and the trail is mostly moderate. It is voted for autumn and spring in similar numbers and worn by day and night almost equally. Worn by anyone, it suits quiet elegance at work or dinner, for people who like their flowers smoky and calm.
