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.

Sequence does the impossible and surpasses The Moon, allegorically its what you call a total Lunar eclipse. When a Lunar eclipse occurs, the celestial Moon turns a shade of blood red, and thats exactly what Sequence has done with The Moon. It projects a scattering of fruity red and copper tones over the bombastic dna of its inspiration, making it overall a much more wearable, enjoyable and unisex leaning experience. Sequence is an undeniable success and by far my favourite of the Essence collection.

I don’t agree with the people who are just telling this is Maracuja. Not even close. It has more similarities with The moon rather than maracuja. Leather is not leaning like crivelli and it evolves to something definitely “red and sweet” by far. Awesome work by amouage again. And the best version of the current lineup.

My favorite perfume from the Essences line. It is funny as this is the least Amouage perfume of them all. In a genre that has several leathery raspberry perfume, to me, this is the best one of them all. Perfectly balanced and masterfully done by Rasquinet. To me, this is full bottle worthy.

1 month wearing sequence, I can say that it is not something that I will pick from my small collection often, but once in awhile it scratches the fruity slightly leather scent itch for me. It leans more feminine to me but a guy can definitely wear this scent.

I don't like gourmet and fruity smells, but I love this scent, those delicious red fruits in the opening are of an irresistible kind, a complete unisex perfume, ideal for men under 30, I want to smell it all the time and I'm still not sure to buy full size

This one is a love or hate fragrance. Luckily, I'm on a love side. The scent is new to me. I don't see many perfume in Asia with the same profile. However, it's a bit hard to use in Asean summer. But I'm still love how it attracts me.

People compare it to oud majakuja, they don't smell the same at all. Such an underated frag.

I love this perfume! Far my favourite of the Essence collection.

a masterpiece. so deep and leathery with lots of nuances.

Look, if you’re tired of smelling like every other guy in the lounge wearing those overplayed "blue" scents, this is entirely new, and never smelled before (2026 release) Honestly? It doesn't just sit on your skin; it makes a statement about your tax bracket without you saying a word. Here is the lowdown on the scent that everyone is calling "Industrial-Fruit Luxury." The Vibe Check Imagine a high-end leather jacket that’s been sitting, you smash raspberries and lychee all over it, then someone adds a drop of high-octane racing fuel (similar to Dior Fahrenheit). It sounds crazy, somehow they made it feel like the most sophisticated thing you’ve ever smelled. It’s dark, it’s juicy, and it’s undeniably "rich." Pros The "Gasoline" Edge: It has this addictive, slightly metallic/industrial undertone that keeps the fruit from being "too sweet." It’s rugged but polished. Insane Complexity: This isn't a linear scent. It starts like a fruit explosion and ends like a smoky, leathery oud. It’s a journey, not a destination. The Bottle: The new flacon with those desert-dune ridges? It’s pure desk candy. Nice in my collection High-End Pedigree: Since it's aged in oak barrels and sandalwood chips, it has a "thickness" to the smell that cheaper clones just can't replicate. Cons The Price Tag: Let’s be real—at roughly $600, it’s a "rent or fragrance" type of decision for most people. Polarizing Opening: That first 15 minutes is loud. If you aren't a fan of saffron or that "fuel" vibe, you might find it aggressive before it settles. Not for Summer: Do NOT wear this in 90°F heat. You will choke out everyone in a 3-block radius. This is strictly for cool nights and air-conditioned flexes. Nice dark suit, on a crisp night will compliment sillage nicely. Performance Stats Sillage: "The Ghost Room" The sillage is Heavy to Enormous. This is one of those scents where you leave the room, but your "ghost" stays behind for another ten minutes. It’s best experienced in the air rather than sniffing your wrist directly. People will smell you before they see you, so go easy on the trigger—two sprays is plenty. Duration: "The 24-Hour Club" Because it’s a 30% Extrait concentration, the longevity is frankly ridiculous. You better like what your wearing or it will annoy you! On Skin: 12–14 hours easily. On Clothes: It’s basically permanent until you wash them (and even then, good luck). You can put this on for a Friday night out, and you’ll still be catching whiffs of that creamy sandalwood and leather during Saturday morning coffee. Final Verdict: If you want to smell like the coolest, most interesting version of yourself—and you’ve got the wallet for it—Sequence is the play. It’s not a "crowd-pleaser" in the boring sense; it’s a "crowd-commanding" scent, have some balls my friend. Just don't blame me when people start following you down the street to ask what you're wearing.

Sequence by Amouage opens with a bold blast of smoky incense before evolving into a rich blend of oud, passion fruit, leather, saffron and amber. It's a beautifully crafted fragrance and the quality is evident throughout, just as you'd expect from Amouage. Longevity is excellent and the sillage is powerful, so performance certainly isn't an issue. My only criticism is that once the incense fades, it smells remarkably similar to Oud Maracuja by Maison Crivelli. At this very expensive price point, I expect something that feels completely original, and for me, Sequence falls a little short in that department. A quality fragrance, but the lack of originality leaves it at a 7/10.

Drydown on blotter: red fruits, leather, and smoke. Sweet but not juvenile. I found it more suitable as an environmental fragrance rather than on a person. The reason is it’s both feminine and masculine at the same time, but not in the middle like a typical unisex. It’s very masculine and very feminine at the same time, almost like two separate fragrances layered and became the perfect combination. Very well blended, great quality, no spiky notes or aroma chemicals hurting your nose, very smooth. I like it a lot but not something I can use personally. Not to deprecate or praise, but the core of it reminds me of the famous/infamous base layers of many Mancera fragrances.

Beautiful perfume; however, this is an EXACT copy of Oud Maracuja. Do not waste your money on this if you already have Oud Maracuja.

A fairly standard raspberry-leather-amberwood "oud" yet somehow my favorite in the collection 🤷🏻

a fruitier version of oud stallion , i prefer oud stallioon
