Amouage — Elsewhere
Honey first, and a lot of it — dense and golden, closer to a cut honeycomb than to anything you'd stir into tea. Fruit hangs off it: apricot, mango, pomegranate, tangerine.
Then the turn that makes this one worth talking about. Cappuccino and black tea arrive in the heart and dry the whole thing out before it can get sticky. Underneath, tonka, cedar and patchouli take it somewhere warm and slightly earthy.
Amouage say Elsewhere carries the composition first made as Sindbad for the Royal Opera House Muscat — sold only in Oman — out to the rest of the world under a new name. That's their statement, and it's why this bottle has been talked about the way it has.
It's an Essence: 30% oils, alcohol aged six months in oakwood barrels, concentrate infused with sandalwood chips, then two weeks' maceration. It behaves like it. Autumn, winter, or cool evenings.
