💮  28. A Scented Letter: Amouage Existence — The luminosity of Rose, Lily, and Frankincense

Crafted by perfumer Quentin Bisch, Amouage Existence is a luminous floral with quiet complexity. Lily of the valley opens the scent—tender, radiant, and expansive through the airy clarity of frankincense. A soft aldehydic shimmer lifts the composition, while rose adds warmth and presence. Now Luxe Samples and a Luxe 10ml travel Spray of this luminous beauty are available at Nectar Atelier. 

There’s a spacious calm in the background, like breath echoing through a vaulted cathedral. As it settles, ambergris and benzoin soften the light, grounding it with skin-like warmth. Ethereal, bright, and contemplative—Existence wears like a meditative veil: angelic, but grounded.

💮 The Experience of Existence
Soft petals in clear light.
Petals suspended in stillness.
A breath of calm, radiant and grounded.

Try this:
Spray onto pulse points before a moment of quiet.
Let the scent expand—slowly, gently—like the first rays of morning light

With kindness,
🕊 Flor at Nectar Atelier

For something equally soft, Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille offers golden warmth—boozy vanilla laced with incense and delicate woods, while Guerlain Gourmand Coquin wraps rose, cacao, and black tea in a swirl of spices—decadent yet tender. Amouage Guidance 46 is a bit brighter than the original Amouage Guidance, where pear, saffron, and rose unfold over rich woods and ambergris. Dries Van Noten Soie Malaquais lingers with notes of blackcurrant, rose, and hazelnut—a silky composition that feels both luminous with a gourmand touch. And for a rare, luminous quietude, Amouage Existence glows with skin-warmed florals, aldehydes, and serene radiance—weightless but unforgettable.
