History
-
The perfume house Amouage was founded more than a quarter of a century ago by a young businessman from the Sultanate of Oman. His goal was to create a western perfume with an oriental atmosphere and sensual Arabic ingredients such as frankincense and myrrh. The result was Amouage. Frankincense has been used for thousands of years, and in ancient times the stuff was worth more than gold. The most sought after incense comes from Dhofan in the Sultanate of Oman. Legend has it that the "Boswelia" trees were so valuable that they were guarded by winged snakes. in view of this frankincense, Alexander the Great wanted to invade Arabia, but before it got that far he died.
Oman
-
The history of Oman dates back to the very beginning of civilization. It is believed that in 3000 BC the Sumerians already knew the coastline on the Gulf of Oman. Remains of settlements attest to this. The natural beauty of Oman is overwhelming: mountains, wadis, quiet beaches, clear water. Whales, dolphins and sea turtles are found in the waters around Oman. Muscat is the capital of Oman. The city is modern and friendly and has a lot to offer culturally. Muscat lies at the foot of the Jebel Akhdar mountain range.

Where to buy

If you are not able to visit one of the aforementioned flagship stores, you can visit the Amouage webshop, www.amouage.com to order a perfume. But if you are not familiar with the perfumes, it is difficult to just order anything. Then you want to try out a few scents before purchasing. In the Netherlands, Amouage is also sold in better perfumery stores. In The Hague, for example, you can now go to Parfumerie Winnubst for this.
