Reasons

Reasons by Amouage, released in 2024 and composed by Bertrand Duchaufour, is a dense, resinous woody fragrance worn by anyone. Wood leads, with spicy and resinous facets close behind and lighter amber, gourmand and musky touches.

The notes are many and presented together. Cinnamon, cardamom and pink pepper give a warm, sparkling spice, while hazelnut adds a toasted, nutty sweetness. The woody core combines cedar, sandalwood, palo santo and cypriol, smoky, creamy and earthy, with pine bringing a resinous forest note. Labdanum, benzoin and myrrh add a dark, balsamic richness, and oakmoss a damp green depth.

The profile suggests a scent for cold weather, evenings and contemplative occasions. It suits someone who loves complex, layered woody-resinous compositions in the Amouage style, rich with spice and smoke, and who enjoys a fragrance that unfolds slowly over the hours like a walk through a pine forest.
