Amouage Remain Extrait (Tester)
Amouage Remain Extrait (Tester)
Description
Remain, from Amouage's Essences Collection, is perfumer Pierre Negrin's meditation on permanence, a slow-blooming extrait aged for six months with the collection's signature double infusion (sandalwood chips and oak-wood barrels) before release. It opens on hojari frankincense (the rare, prized resin harvested in Oman's Dhofar mountains) paired with juicy mandarin, pimento berry, and bergamot, then blooms into a luminous heart of Madonna lily, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. The base settles into ambergris, guaiacwood, patchouli, vanilla, and tonka bean, giving the composition a warm, resinous glow that lingers rather than fades. At roughly 30% concentration, it's built to outlast an ordinary eau de parfum by hours.
