Reasons Extrait de Parfum by Amouage is a deeply complex scent that examines the relationship that exists between the past and the present. The opening note comes from hazelnut and gives a smooth and warm introduction to the scent. The development of the scent sees the arrival of the Davana note, which brings about interesting notes of fruits and herbs to the scent, making it more complex. Finally, the dry down note features palo santo that comes from the smoky nature of sacred woods, which is further accentuated by double-infused sandalwood and oakwood barrels.
