The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Beloved Woman by Amouage was launched in 2012, crafted by the renowned perfumer Bernard Ellena. This fragrance embodies a rich blend of warm spices, amber, and musk, with layers of floral and herbal notes that create a complex and captivating scent. Chamomile and rose open to a heart of jasmine and clary sage, before settling into a base of patchouli, labdanum, and sandalwood, underscored by animalic notes like civet and castoreum. The result is an intimate blend that feels both luxurious and deeply personal.

How to wear it

Apply Beloved Woman close to your skin for an intense experience that builds over time. The warm spicy and amber notes project well initially but allow the deeper base notes to emerge gradually as the day progresses.
