Bespoke and Pure Luxury from a Belgian Handbag Brand to an Omani Royal Fragrance....


Last week, we drew your attention to Delvaux, a Belgian brand with a 180-year-old history, today another bespoke luxury brand, House of Amouage, has our undivided attention…

Amouage is one of the world’s most regal, luxury perfume brands, and it’s on “an expansion streak”, according to a report on CNN.

In the not-too-distant future, Amouage hopes to infiltrate the European and US markets. Two new stores are planned for 2010, one in Dubai and one in London.

Amouage was founded 25 years ago when the Omani royal family commissioned a leading French perfumer to create one of the finest fragrances money could buy. There was seemingly no cap on budget and “the whole thing was done with just greatness in mind.”

And, the most remarkable news is that the commitment to quality at Amouage has not dimmed due to the G.F.C. The brand’s CEO, David Crickmore, told CNN that “We search for the finest possible ingredients, the rarest ingredients. We just want the best, without worrying about the cost."
