The story behind the bottle.
Purpose 50 by Amouage is a Woody Spicy fragrance for both women and men, crafted in 2025 by perfumer Quentin Bisch. The composition opens with the fresh spicy notes of pink pepper and pimento, which are quickly enveloped by the warm embrace of frankincense and rose. As it settles into its base, sandalwood, vetiver, and akigalawood create a rich blend of earthy depth, while vanilla and mystikal add a touch of sweetness that rounds out the scent. The inclusion of oud and suede brings an unmistakable sense of luxury and sophistication.
Purpose 50 has a strong base that blooms over time, so applying it to pulse points will allow you to experience its full depth. The spicy notes are most prominent initially but give way to the warm woody and amber undertones after an hour, making this fragrance ideal for evening events where its complexity can truly shine.
