The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all...
The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Cardamom, bergamot and lemon lead, with Sichuan pepper adding a tingling, dry heat, and elemi and frankincense bringing a light, resinous freshness. The citrus is bright and sharp, and the spice and resin make the top feel dry rather than juicy.
Patchouli takes the centre, in the hot, humid, green form the brand describes. Rose, orange blossom and geranium soften it with floral and green tones, while cumin, anise and coriander bring a warm, earthy spice. Saffron and davana add a leathery, fruity depth.
The base is an amber accord built from benzoin, labdanum, amber, ambergris, frankincense and opoponax, with vanilla for softness and birch, musks and oud for a dry, smoky, skin-like edge. It is warm and thick without turning syrupy; the resins are the main theme.
Wearing it
Outlands is dense and warm, so it suits cooler weather, evenings and occasions where presence is welcome. At 30% perfume oil, a pair of sprays is generally enough. The citrus opening gives the first minutes some air, then patchouli takes over and the resins remain.
In the Amouage range Outlands is a universal perfume. It is for people who like patchouli and resin and want a fragrance that moves from bright to deep. Think autumn and winter evenings, dinners and travel plans, and anyone who looks for a dense, concentrated scent.
The Essences (Outlands, Reasons and Lustre) come in the house's first new bottle design in 15 years. This one is infused for six months with sandalwood chips and with bioethanol aged in oak barrels. Cécile Zarokian composed it.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
