Bracken Woman

The rustling of bracken underfoot, as you walk through a misty forest at dawn, where the earthy aroma of wet leaves and fresh berries intertwines with the subtle hints of leather and birch.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Bracken Woman, launched by Amouage in 2016 and crafted by perfumers Dorothée Piot and Karine Vinchon Spehner, is a complex composition that blends aromatic fern with fresh berries and chamomile. The scent evolves into a rich blend of leather, narcissus, lily, birch, vetiver, and patchouli, creating an earthy and smoky backdrop. This fragrance embodies the brand's heritage of using traditional Middle Eastern ingredients in innovative ways.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to pulse points; the aromatic top notes are striking but fade quickly into the deeper woody and smoky base. This fragrance reads best close to skin, so a light mist is more effective than heavy application.
