Remain by Amouage, launched in 2026 and crafted by Pierre Negrin, is a Woody Spicy fragrance that balances warmth with freshness. The composition opens with the bright notes of bergamot and mandarin, followed by the rich layers of frankincense and pimento. These top notes create an initial burst of aromatic spice before giving way to a heart of white florals like ylang-ylang, lily, and jasmine. The base is where Remain truly shines, with tonka bean, vanilla, patchouli, ambergris, and guaiac wood providing a deep, warm, and slightly spicy finish that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips
Remain has a strong base that takes time to develop on the skin. A single spray in the morning allows it to bloom gradually throughout the day, ensuring you carry its rich warmth from an afternoon meeting to an evening dinner.
