💮 44. Existence: Radiant, Ethereal, Addictive — Review & Samples
There’s something magical about Existence by Amouage. I have written about it before in this Scented Letter, but I’m thrilled to share that I now offer Luxe Samples and a Luxe 10ml travel Spray of this luminous beauty at Nectar Atelier.
Some of us dread Mondays, but I’ve come to see them as quiet beginnings—a gentle invitation to pause, reset, and realign. If there’s one fragrance that captures that fresh promise, it’s Existence by Amouage.
I know Existence by Amouage can be polarizing, but to me it’s nothing short of breathtaking—a soft, luminous veil of calm that feels like early morning light on dew‑kissed petals. Composed by Quentin Bisch, it opens with an angelic breath of lily of the valley and shimmering aldehydes—clean, dewy, and utterly ethereal. Here, the typically sharp green floral note becomes weightless and pure.
As the scent unfolds, a delicate rose heart emerges, wrapped in a veil of frankincense so rare it evokes Royal Hojari—rich, resinous, and almost luminous in its glow. Beneath it all, gentle resins weave warmth and depth, grounding the composition without ever weighing it down. Airy, contemplative, and quietly addictive, Existence invites you to reset and realign with every spritz.
I never imagined I’d fall for a “clean” floral, yet Existence has completely captivated me. It feels radiant and grounding—so gently addictive that I’ve caught myself endlessly sniffing my wrist. When it harmonizes with your skin, you’ll know exactly what I mean.
If Existence resonates with your chemistry, consider yourself fortunate—it’s one you’ll catch yourself returning to, again and again. In a world that can sometimes feel too dark, this is more than a scent—it’s a luminous beginning to any day.
It truly evokes the sensation of morning air drifting through a meadow of wildflowers—fresh, cool, and alive with possibility. Let each spritz be your moment of calm in the rush, a breath of clarity before you step into the day.

Try Zouzou by Celine if you are drawn to nostalgic scents that feel like a golden cloud.

Amouage Guidance 46 is a bit brighter than the original Amouage Guidance, where pear, saffron, and rose unfold over rich woods and ambergris.
