After a few months, and a long summer spent in Tuscany, we finally feel ready to talk about Existence by Amouage.
This wasn’t love at first post or first spray for content. It was real life. Hot days. Linen shirts. Late dinners. Quiet mornings. A scent that kept showing up without asking for attention.
We first found it in a small niche perfume shop in Ljubljana. No plan. No expectations. Just one spray, then another, and that quiet look between us that says, okay… this one is staying.
What stood out with it
Existence lasts and A LOT. You put it on in the morning (it goes loud!) and forget about it, and then hours later it’s still there, doing its thing. It doesn’t fade into nothing. It just stays with you.
It feels bright and clean. Elegant, playful and even sexy. It works on warm skin, in any type of days, dressed up or completely relaxed. That kind of easy versatility is rare.
We don’t chase compliments when we wear perfume. Honestly, it’s not even on our list. But Existence makes that difficult. People notice. They ask. Every single time. From the first minutes to the very end.
Why we didn’t break it down into details
We could list everything that’s inside. And yes, the quality is clearly there. You feel it from the first spray. But this one isn’t about checking notes or analyzing what comes next.
It’s more about how it fits into a day. How it feels when you walk, sit, travel, cook, laugh. It behaves like a well-made object you trust. You don’t overthink it. You just use it.
If you’re curious, we’ll leave the official ingredient list at the end of this article. But we truly believe this scent makes more sense when worn, not read.
How we wear it at home
Although it’s listed as unisex, in our home Existence lives firmly on the female side of the shelf — and it will stay there. Not because of rules, but because that’s simply where it feels right for us.
Perfume is personal. There’s no right way, no labels that matter more than your own feeling.
About that bottle (because… come on)
We have to say it. The bottle is beautiful. The color. The cap. The way it looks on a shelf in natural light. It feels thoughtful, calm, and quietly joyful.
If that isn’t cute in the best possible way, we honestly don’t know what is.
Our final thoughts
Existence found its place without even trying. It earned it by being reliable, pleasant, and easy to love over time. It’s now firmly in our top favourite perfumes ever! Not because it tries to impress, but because it simply works.
Here is the official note breakdown by the brand:
- Top Notes: Lily of the Valley, Rose
- Heart Notes: Frankincense, Mystikal, Labdanum
- Base Notes: Ambergris, White Musk, Benzoin
We’d love to hear your thoughts if you’ve worn it. Did it surprise you too? Or are you still thinking about trying it?
Our approach stays the same, always:
Living fully, lightly scented.
Thanks for reading. See you in the next one.
