The story behind the bottle.
Basmah by Amouage is a fragrance that captures the essence of Arabian luxury and sophistication. The composition begins with French labdanum and amber, creating a warm and enveloping aura, before transitioning into musk and rose notes in the heart. The base layers of oud and sandalwood add a rich, woody depth, making Basmah an intoxicating blend of sweetness and strength. This fragrance evokes the legendary splendor of ancient Eastern courts, where every note tells a story of opulence and mystique.
Basmah's base notes take time to unfold, so apply it generously in areas that generate heat like your wrists and neck. It pairs well with the warmth of evening wear but can feel heavy during the day.
