104. Amouage Outlands Review & Samples | Forest-Inspired Perfume in the Wild

👋 Hi fragrance friend,

I’m excited to introduce Outlands by Amouage to the Nectar Atelier collection—now available in 1ml–5ml Samples.

Crafted by Cécile Zarokian, Outlands opens with a gentle gourmand nuance and unexpected warmth—lemon and subtle spice, like a citrus-kissed cream pie by an open window. A natural sweetness feels luminous and inviting, then deepens into a leafier, more textured aromatic composition where earthy patchouli, incense, and woods ground the fragrance.

I’m moved by the forest’s aliveness: shifting light, the scent of damp earth, and the rustle of leaves and birdsong. As Outlands transitions into its aromatic heart, it calls to mind the forest and everything it evokes. With each breath, the scent opens like a path between trees. Outlands carries that promise of the wild just beyond what we know. The trail lingers with soft anise, a salty ambergris shimmer, and a wisp of smoke, familiar yet hard to name.

Outlands reflects the way the heart softens in nature—in places that feel rugged, wild, and untamed.

🌿 The Ritual
Spray on skin in the early hours.
Wear for walks, reflection, or grounding stillness.
Let it unfold like a path through the trees.

If you’ve been craving a scent that feels grounding and invites you to experience awe, this is the one. Read this other Scented Letter. Buy Outlands here.

With kindness,
🕊 Flor at Nectar Atelier
