Amouage Fate
Web-based rumours of an Amouage release capturing the teenage market with notes of Cotton Candy, Strawberry, Watermelon, grated Marzipan, Blackcurrant and Pineapple can now be discarded. That was a cocktail recipe not a note release.
Christopher Chong, the creative director of Amouage rarely speaks about perfume but he does chirp in cryptic as well as communicating with incense-based smoke signals. Using an ancient Omani text my deciphering delivers the following information.

The Fragrant Man 
Hmmmm, I would love to know what teenager can afford an Amouage fragrance!!!
An Omani.
🙂
Lol!!!
Haha!
I haven’t found my Amouage yet. These notes look promising. Of course the price will probably be problematic.
Your Amouage will find you. Divide the price by the number of sprays.
I can personally guarantee there is no pineapple or cotton candy in either of these. I love Mr. Chong’s tweets though 🙂 And yes, there are quite a few teenagers in this part of the world that could afford a few Amouage scents….
I tried these both yesterday at the store here in Dubai. Even though I am probably biased towards this house I must say they are both really beautiful and worthy of the Amouage name. The notes are very accurate, especially for the man. I found the woman to be a little more linear on my skin with lots of nice suede-like leather. I can’t wait to see the packaging in person.
Wow Dubaiscents, thank you for the on-the-spot reportage. Much appreciated. Yes, Mr Chong is creative with humour as well as scent.
The perception of ‘Linear’ makes sense when if you compare the two in the context of the perfumers. One of whom I will be profiling tomorrow; the non-linear one.
I’ll be curious to try this.
Curious to read your thoughts. I loved your Beloved review. Lignum vitae!

I WANT TO TRY IT!
(I’m sorry for shouting, it wasn’t me, it was a HUGE lemming) 😉
If only lemmings could talk.
Me too! This had me at “chilli.”
Yes I love the warmth of Anima Dulcis. Can’t wait to see how Amouage treats this.
