The story behind the bottle.
Ashore by Amouage, launched in 2020 and crafted by Mackenzie Reilly, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that embodies the duality of warmth and spice. It opens with cardamom and turmeric, creating a vibrant, aromatic top note before easing into the heart of jasmine sambac and rose. The base notes of ambergris, sandalwood, and olibanum lend a rich, animalic depth to the composition. This fragrance is an ode to Amouage's heritage in Oman, blending traditional Middle Eastern ingredients with modern perfumery techniques.
Given its long-lasting nature, one to two sprays is sufficient. The top notes are bright but fade within an hour, so it's best applied just before you step out for the day. This fragrance reads better close to skin than in a wide sillage.
