Meander

Fog, green mountains and wet earth after the Omani monsoon. Meander by Amouage is one of the house's most poetic and atmospheric creations, a modern iris-and-wood fragrance that feels introspective, elegant and deeply unique. Created by perfumer Mackenzie Reilly, it turns carrot, orris, frankincense and vetiver into a misty, meditative landscape. The Story Meander was inspired by the Khareef, the monsoon season in Oman's southernmost governorate, when fog rolls through the cliffs, the mountains turn lush and green, and streams run through the land. Amouage presents it as an exploration of the exhilarating happiness of that landscape. The fog is suggested by frankincense and smoky vetiver, the greenery by cypriol and jonquille, and the damp earth by carrot, orris and sandalwood. It was launched in 2020 as part of the house's Renaissance Collection. How It Smells Opening Carrot seed arrives first: dry, earthy, slightly spicy and unexpectedly elegant, set against translucent olibanum and a flicker of pink and black pepper. Heart A smooth, buttery iris gives powdery sophistication without heaviness, joined by rose, the hay-like woodiness of cypriol and the green floral touch of jonquille. Frankincense adds a translucent, smoky, resinous lift. Dry Down Sandalwood and vetiver create creamy woody depth, with olibanum resinoid lingering underneath. The overall effect is misty, rooty, powdery, woody and quietly meditative.
