"Oman’s Brand: The World’s Most Luxurious Perfume 'Amouage' Created by Royal Command"

The Brand Said to Have the World's Most Expensive Perfume!
Introducing the Omani perfume brand "Amouage," popular for souvenirs in Islamic countries like Dubai.
Amouage is said to be the brand of "the world's most expensive perfume."
The price for a bottle starts from 30,000 yen to 40,000 yen for 100ml.
The brand was created in 1983 under the order of the Sultan of Oman, using luxurious natural fragrances and high-quality materials for the bottles, with almost everything done by hand, from bottling to packaging... which explains its high cost.
Although it has been simplified now, the early bottles reportedly used real gold and crystals.
Characterized by the use of Frankincense!
The raw material of Amouage's perfume is resin harvested from a tree called frankincense, a specialty of Oman.
Frankincense is famous as an expensive item and was one of the gifts brought by the Three Wise Men to Jesus Christ at his birth (along with myrrh and gold).
In traditional Eastern medicine, it has historically been used as a medicine, believed to relieve pain, stop bleeding, and ease muscle spasms.
(Therefore, the scent may have a relaxing effect.)
The perfumes of Amouage are made under the order of the Sultan to use historically significant, expensive fragrances, and no expense is spared on labor—it reflects the royal decree.
The Fragrance is Said to Be "Middle Eastern Celebrity Scent"
✅ Interlude (Floral Chypre scent)
✅ Amouage Honor (White Floral)
✅ Imitation (Floral Leather)
Among these, while all have floral scents, they differ greatly from the casual fragrances that are popular right now, offering a rich and heavy aroma.
The oriental fragrance can be lightly applied in small amounts for a subtle, relaxing scent.
I even found reviews calling it "the scent of Middle Eastern celebrities."
One of the Perfumes I Want Someday!
As the world's pinnacle of perfume brands, this is one scent I hope to acquire as a perfume enthusiast.
The bottles are sturdy and exude luxury, making it seem like just holding one would bring happiness.
You can purchase it in countries like the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Dubai, and Oman.
It's a perfume I want to buy someday when I travel or ask someone to bring me as a souvenir.
➡️ Although it's a brand not yet available in Japan, it's sold on Rakuten, so you can study ahead!
