Amouage Celebrates Four Decades of High Perfumery

Amouage, the independent Omani High Perfumery House, celebrates turning 40 years young with a bang!

Drawing a host of special guests, Amouage projected an immersive movie onto Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building and a distinctive symbol of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, followed by a soirée. The cinematic masterpiece paid a special tribute to Amouage’s unique history, during which the House has redefined the Arabian art of perfumery and garnered a global reputation for bringing innovation and true artistry to all its finely crafted perfumes.

For the first time in 40 years and as a tribute to the dream that founded it, Amouage transcended time to showcase a piece of its glorious past, the first Amouage crystal bottles ever to exist: Cristal & Gold.

Sparked by the rediscovery of the original moulds in the cellars of the High Cristallerie Waltersperger, the House’s historic master-glassmaker in Normandy, France, this anniversary edition is a reinvention of the House’s iconic jewel in vessels of outstanding beauty.

Two batches of 500 bespoke artifacts of the highest quality crystal with shimmering gold-plated details, made in the original moulds and hand-blown in the workshops of the High Cristallerie Waltersperger, treasure Cristal & Gold Woman and Cristal & Gold Man, reworked by Parisian perfumer Alexandra Carlin.
