Sequence

EN Sequence is all about sensations. It opens in a fruity, radiant way, but never in a careless or superficial one. Beneath that brightness, you immediately feel a darker, warmer, more sensual tension. It is as if the initial sweetness were only the introduction to something far deeper. Its olfactory pyramid is already beautiful in itself. What I love most is that Sequence feels luxurious without ever becoming heavy. It has colour, energy, sensuality, and all of it is composed with real elegance. It never smells chaotic or rough. It is expansive, striking, dramatic — and at the same time incredibly polished. That is exactly why I find it magnificent. Sequence lives on beautiful contrasts: fruit and suede, colour and shadow, sweetness and a spicy peppery edge. It is seductive almost in an overt way, yet it still remains stylish. And that is a combination that is impossible not to love. _______ IT Sequence è tutto una questione di sensazioni. Si apre in modo fruttato e luminoso, ma mai in maniera leggera o superficiale. Sotto questa brillantezza si avverte subito una tensione più scura, più calda, più sensuale. È come se la dolcezza iniziale fosse soltanto l’introduzione a qualcosa di molto più profondo. La sua piramide olfattiva è già di per sé splendida. Quello che amo di più è che Sequence dà un’impressione di lusso senza mai risultare pesante. Ha colore, energia, sensualità, e tutto è composto con vera eleganza. Non suona mai caotico o ruvido. È ampio, scenografico, drammatico — e allo stesso tempo incredibilmente rifinito. È proprio per questo che lo trovo magnifico. Sequence vive di contrasti bellissimi: frutto e camoscio, colore e ombra, dolcezza e una speziatura pepata. È seducente in modo quasi dichiarato, eppure resta sempre elegante. Ed è una combinazione impossibile da non amare.

I picked this up in October when it first launched as a Dubai Duty Free exclusive, and it is easily the best of the three. Line 618 comes next, but this one clearly stands above the rest. From the opening, you immediately get a beautiful blend of lychee and berries. As it develops, osmanthus becomes very prominent, adding a smooth fruity leathery nuance that gives the scent real depth. The fruity character stays present all the way through the dry down, rich, polished, and very well blended. Longevity is excellent, easily passing 11 hours, with strong sillage that projects well without becoming overpowering. Overall, a gorgeous release and a clear favourite. Edit : Apparently people perceive scents differently, and I am honestly trying to be polite here. I own several Julien Rasquinet creations, including The Moon, Enclave, Lustre, Oud in White, and Sequence. This is absolutely nothing like The Moon, unless someone genuinely does not understand perfumes. It is not a fruity rose oud profile at all. Anyway, people really love being dramatic here.

Been looking out for The Moon by the same perfumer without success. I have never smelled The Moon though, but the notes look like right up my alley: fruity woody. Now my favourite house, Amouage, has released a similar Essence perfume by the same perfumer so today I have ordered Sequence from the Amouage website purely based on the notes and 2 reviews I watched online. This will be my 2nd blind-buy Amouage, after Jubilation 40 Man back in 2024 which I love to this day. So, fingers crossed.... Edit: January 13, 2026. I received my Sequence today via DHL. It opens with red berries, lychee fruit, mild oud and smoky leather. Then the mid tonka comes with the rose. Then mild amber and wood arrive with a touch of saffron into the dry down. I agree with a reviewer on YouTube, from the smell you won't know it's an Amouage. It has no Omani incense or Assam oud. But it is strong and the quality and blend is top notch.

This has overtaken PDM Haltane as my favorite fragrance. Expertly crafted and extremely wearable. The saffron is so beautifully blended with the fruit, and the leather/Oud is very light. Very slight rose/florals that add more depth to the fruitiness without making it too feminine. Very sweet, unisex with a slight masculine edge. It is understandable that many diehard Amouage fans are disappointed with some of these newer releases. They are moving in a direction of more mass-appeal and less risk. Removing that lense, sequence is an objectively high quality scent. Some fragrances instantly strike a chord with you, and it feels like magic. This one does that for me. It has given me a sense of ease, because I feel as though I’ve finally found what I want to smell like.

Amouage Sequence has an aromatic palette that Perfumer Julien Rasquinet knows best. Deep, dark and rich. This is a wonderful fruity leather and oud fragrance that is done to perfection. Highly wearable and pleasing to lovers of this scent family. The red fruits present in Sequence pair seamlessly with the jammy rose and leathery oud base. The top notes seem to be recurrent throughout the entire wear A case of sophisticated beauty. I think it's also worth mentioning that the first time I sprayed this fragrance on skin I found it to be very off putting. It's funny how with some time and growth in your fragrance journey you start to appreciate different things.
