Existence in detail
Existence is signed by Quentin Bisch for Amouage. The house builds it around lily of the valley, a fragile flower made more expansive by incense, to evoke the serenity of the infinite. It files it among its musky florals; Volute files it among florals.
The official pyramid opens with lily of the valley, which yields no oil and has to be recreated, and rose. The heart pairs incense, Mystikal, a Givaudan molecule described as a resinous, aldehydic incense, and ambery labdanum. The base gathers ambergris, musk and benzoin, which adds a vanilla-like softness.
Existence suits spring and autumn, mostly during the day. It is a clear, luminous floral that the resins keep from feeling too light: the incense gives it depth without darkening it.
Three fragrances in our catalogue come close: Taif Aoud by Roja Parfums shares rose, incense, labdanum and musk; Elysium Absolue, from the same house, brings back rose, benzoin and ambergris; Jubilation 25 Woman by Amouage also pairs rose with incense.
