Sindbad

In a masterpiece that bridges art and fragrance, Amouage presents Sindbad a special collaboration with the Royal Opera House Muscat. A limited edition created exclusively for Oman, inspired by the legendary Omani sailor whose journeys carried the spirit of adventure across the seas. This fragrance is not just worn it’s experienced. It tells a story of heritage, courage, and timeless Omani pride. 🇴🇲 A legendary journey that opens with honeyed fruits, sails through smoky coffee and black tea, and anchors in warm woods and vanilla. A fragrance that embodies adventure, longing, and the return home. Inst: 968perfume

A beautiful scent that carries Amouage into new territory while staying true to its unmistakable DNA. The opening reminds me slightly of Jubilation, probably because of the blend of honey and fruit, but beyond that it reveals a very different character. It feels refined, daring, and unlike anything else in the collection. Truly one of a kind

Had a decant. Had to scrub off. Smells like a thicker sweeter Naxos - Amouage is my favourite house but this is shocking

The opening of the fragrance is intensely sweet, honeyed, and gourmand — almost to the point of being unpleasant. The mango note is not obvious in its fruity character, but the sugary taste it leaves is noticeable, as if a sweet note replaced it, which might have been more effective. The honeyed style is overused and unremarkable, closely resembling Pure Havana by Mugler, while the gourmand aspect is similar to Angel. The heart of the fragrance has a positive side — a hint of tea is pleasant — but the presence of artificial honey is annoying, and the coffee aspect is unbalanced, as if you’re drinking a coffee with milk with an excessive dose of vanilla and caramel syrup. It also resembles 24 Gold Elixir and Or du Serail from Naomi Goodsir. The base of the fragrance is familiar, yet balanced and not bad, but it didn’t suit me. It is filled with ethyl vanillin (an artificial vanilla substitute) and coumarin (a replacement for tonka beans), making the base more reminiscent of Herod by Parfums de Marly and 24 Gold Elixir. The creative director of Amouage, Renaud Salmon, says: “In order to reach the princess, Sindbad must overcome all kinds of obstacles. After a battle with a treacherous sorceress, Sindbad finds the perfume of life — a powerful substance capable of dispelling evil. He saves the princess, takes the mysterious perfume with him, marries his beloved, and restores hope to his home.” I don’t know where to find his exact words or how they are reflected in the fragrance. Additionally, the concept of the fragrance does not convey inspiration or emotion for the Oman Opera House, nor does it connect meaningfully to Sindbad’s story. Linking it to Sindbad’s tale feels as awkward as replacing Don Vito Corleone’s cigar in The Godfather with a double-apple hookah. Conclusion: When Amouage releases a fragrance, expectations and evaluations are very high due to the luxury it represents. This fragrance feels closer to something Mancera would produce rather than fitting under the Amouage name.
