Search

I don’t understand the photorealistic comments regarding the citrus top notes. To me, the lemon/lime/mandarin smell just like Sprite. There’s not much freshness to them, almost like CdG’s Soda scent. I do love the dry down however. Gorgeous smoky green frankincense and vetiver happening. I just can’t get past that neon green blast of the first ten minutes.

This is the most photo-realistic lemon / citrus i have ever smelled. It last long, easily 12 hours + Its like doing a BBQ and smelling the smoke while you cut fresh lemons for the food you are preparing. This is real quality, and niche.

Gorgeous, the smell reminds me of my teenage days, when we went to a forest in the summer day and prepared grilled fish over charcoal/ bonfire, this fragrance smells exacly like those moments to me, a lively citrusy green earthy forest mixed with that type of bonfire ashy incensy kind of smoke (not the fish part though, 0 fish in search lol). It has to have some sort of green and earthy elements to it next to the ashy and burned VERY SMOKY notes, ofc the citrus is front and center at the start. The dry down is mainly burned woods and Clean musks for texture; though if you expect a "long" lasting citrus, I have to tell you that most of the citrus would evaporate In the first 30-45 minutes and you are left with mainly incense and burned musky woods.

8.3/10 Classic high quality amouage. This is a very smoky citrus and it's nice, but this profile is a little bit basic for the price tag.

opens with strong citrus note but the incense is equally strong. At the end of the day I can't smell the citrus anymore but the incense's smokiness lingers. I don't mind the incense but it loses its uniqueness without the lemon. I like it still

Has Search been discontinued by Amouage? It is no longer on their website in the full bottle format.

Bottom line: of the few all season, nearly any occasion Amouage. Extremely wearable and likeable. An enthralling blend of photo realistic, juicy citrus, lemon, lime, and smoky, woody yet light incense. The citrus dies down considerably after the opening, as would be expected. Then the fresh incense dominates for hours and hours.

Once it starts to dry down it smells like someone was using lemon cleaner to cover up the smell of cigarettes.

Some people don't like it or don't pick up the lime, personally i do. it's beautiful it's lovely strong, lasts plenty of time. Very nice smokey lime

Man I tried it for a 2nd time my goodness it’s just a smoke bomb reminds me of a grill just burning coals

I don’t smell any citrus I just smell incense and smoke. Is masculine so I won’t buy it l. I will just get a travel size for my husband later one. I will wear it sometimes I like smoky. I Dot’n think is ok for summer I ls to smoky to strong. I out only two sprays and is strong.

i find it a masterpiece. this is formal, bold, and trully refined. it's undeniably smoky, masculine, and best suited to those aged 36 and above. it's citrusy-balsamic on dark woods. this particular combination of lime and elemi is a masterstroke, while the smoky depth of genuine hojari frankincense feels captivating rather than harsh. the aroma is potent, posh, strongly present, and leaves a memorable impression. a real attention magnet and compliment getter. an outstanding release from amouage, and such a hidden gem. it feels imaginative, exceptionally well-crafted, and high quality. certainly far ahead of the curve, above the trends, and beyond the ordinary. based on this remarkable creation alone, i see this perfumer a master artist operating on an entirely different level. this is my first encounter with his name and his work.

This needed a few wearings in warm weather to really shine for me. In a world of Molecular based fresh fragrances Search stands apart. This is a complex fragrance that lasts all day and never smells anything but natural. I particularly enjoy the late dry down where the Guaiac wood and Vetiver take over with a subtly sweet citrus remaining in the background. This is the most successful blend of fresh and smoky notes I’ve found, and a bit of a hidden gem in Amouage’s collection.

Just delightful! Elevated tart and zingy lime sorbet with piercing smoke, drying down to more salted citrus and a green piney vetiver incense. Absolutely stunning and obsessed. 10/10

Start a bonfire. Throw ripened orange and lemon and lime and bergamot and grapefruit and yuzu into the bonfire. Let cook for 5 minutes. Stand in the smoke cloud for 10 minutes. Walk inside your house. Amouage Search is exactly what you smell like. For 8-10 hours.

I've tested it two times, and yeah, extremely similar to Montale Intense Pepper, surprised no one has mentioned it.

I ve been testing this masterpiece if i can say the name on iraqi most hottest season Which is june and july and around 12 pm the sun can grill and smoke all living beings thats what notoriously is known for here I can only get compliments and strong longevity It even stayed on my man scarf two days of good sniffing I can be 100% sure this is the cure for summer heat

Greetings to all fragrance lovers around the world. Some fragrances reveal everything in the first few minutes. Search is not one of them. My first impression was a beautifully natural citrus opening. Bright, fresh and extremely realistic, but I honestly thought I was simply experiencing another high-quality citrus fragrance. I was wrong. As time passed, the fragrance quietly changed direction. The citrus slowly stepped back, allowing the real personality of Search to emerge. Green vetiver, smooth dry woods, refined frankincense and a subtle resinous bitterness came together to create a masculine composition that feels elegant rather than loud. The transformation is what impressed me the most. Unlike many summer fragrances that lose their identity once the citrus fades, Search seems to begin exactly where others finish. The dry down became my favorite part. A clean green vetiver with a slightly earthy character wrapped in soft woods and beautiful frankincense. Complex enough to keep your attention, yet effortless to wear. Another thing I discovered is how well this fragrance responds to body heat. As my skin became warmer, the woods and frankincense felt more expressive, giving the fragrance a natural sense of movement throughout the day. The opening reminded me of Burlington 1819 by Roja Dove because of its remarkably natural citrus quality, but that similarity disappears quickly. Search follows its own path and develops into something entirely different. Performance on my skin was excellent. Longevity easily exceeded my expectations, while projection was strongest during the opening before settling into a refined personal scent bubble. Final thoughts: Search is not a citrus fragrance. It is a woody-frankincense fragrance that simply chooses citrus as its introduction. Don't judge it during the first fifteen minutes. The real story begins much later.

The opening smells like a barbecued lemon. After an hour or so it smells like a forest fire. I got two comments saying I smelled like a house fire. I usually like smoky scents but the combo just doesn't work for me.

Really nice lemony opening. Lots of depth and a cool kind of middle eastern feel. Green woody aromatic mid, but then becomes a bit too peppery and smoky in the base. Amouage, I wish you would lay off the incense sometimes man...

All I smell is citrus and smoke

Definitely not a blind buy. Im a citrus guy.. so i love it when i get those bright citrus top notes at the beginning. However after like 5 mins on paper, it starts to smell like strong green smell. Not a pleasant smell (at least to me). Smells like fresh rubber in a tropical rubber tree farm in south east asia. I do like green smell but this is very strong green. Never test in on skin as i dont like that green smell.

This is smoky, spicy & woody. But above all else, it's a very lemon dominated fragrance. This is fine by me because lemon (and bergamot) are my favourite citruses in fragrances. They go well with mostly everything and aren't afraid to make themselves known. This is one of the best fresh woody scents I have ever had the pleasure of smelling, I love the burnt, spicy side to it. You need to let this one dry down a bit though to let the other notes shine through the lemon. 9/10

A Tale of Two Surfaces: Fabric vs. Skin I’ve been testing Search for a while now, and the contrast between how this fragrance behaves on fabric versus actual skin is absolutely fascinating. On Fabric: It opens with an incredibly sharp, photorealistic blast of citruses—mostly lemon, lime, and mandarin. As it dries down on clothes, "in a very short time" it takes a very linear, cold route. Because fabric lacks body heat, the fragrance skips its rich resinous evolution and transitions straight from that bright lemon into a dry, stark, almost campfire-like incense. It feels very smoky, woody, and straightforward. Honestly, I don't it on fabric. On Skin (The Real Magic): Skin chemistry completely transforms this juice. The opening is the same gorgeous citrus, followed by that signature smoky Hojari incense. However, once the body heat gets to work, the deep base notes finally unlock. It morphs into a beautiful, warm, balsamic, amber-like dry down. Even though amber isn't explicitly listed, the combination of Elemi resin, frankincense, and Guaiac wood creates this incredibly rich, cozy, and sophisticated sweet aura. Warm Factor: Here is the coolest part: the hotter you get, the better this smells. Whenever I sweat or my body temperature rises, the fragrance reactivates. The moisture and heat bring out a gorgeous, subtle sweetness—likely the remnants of the juicy mandarin blending with the warm resins. It gets sweeter, richer, and incredibly alluring in the high heat. Exceptional longevity and sillage. Make sure you spray it on your skin (3x neck and 2x wrists), let it warm up, and enjoy the ride. 10/10

Everyone that doesn’t like this saw the price tag and then checked their thin, starving wallets and then got upset and said to themselves that they could get the same thing for half the price, so therefore, they never wanted it in the first place. A tragic yet perhaps highly relevant fox and the grapes situation. Thats what I like to think anyway, and I don’t plan on changing my opinion any time soon. The problem is you can’t really get something like this for half the price, maybe only a commendable effort, but that’s not quite good enough, almost, but not quite. So here’s what I think. I think the top notes are extremely pleasant, juicy, sweet and sour. I think the way they muddle with the incenses and woods over the next few hours is delicate and nuanced and refined. I think what this turns into after you come home to your ugly broad of a girlfriend is just as tasty and hot as when you first put it on in the morning. I think it’s fun and cute and sexy in the masculine manner of things, in the way that we normally aren’t allowed to be, and therefore I think it’s a little taboo. And you know what they say? I think, therefore I am.

Yeah I love this thing. It's literally lemons and bonfire. I fucking love the smell of burning wood and this is somehow a fresh take on that scent profile. I can see some people getting BBQ from this which I can understand ngl but I still love it. Super unique summer fragrance. Those who like it will love it and those who don't will hate it. Very polarising due to the cade oil in abundance here. Don't wear this if you aren't a confident and outgoing person or it will wear you.

Probably my least favorite offering from Amouage. The citrus in the opening smells like Lemon Pledge. As it calms down, the incense and cade oil combine for what smells to me like a box of crayons. I can get charred lemon if I mentally squint. Not bad--quirky, perhaps--but not something I would wear often. Performance is moderate.

Wow!!! Confession: I don’t like Citrus fragrances and this one is not your typical Amouage fragrance profile….however, This one is a masterpiece in its own right. For those who enjoy citrus fragrances with strong Citrus / Lime, they should try this out. I get hints of Xerjoff Renaissance. Overall very linear but stays true to the citrus profile with a hint of soothing light woody vetiver blended in. Long lasting, decent projection, masculine, and fresh. Lends itself towards casual / lounge or yacht wear. Shukran Habibi!

This smells really simple, sour, lemony, almost like a cleaning product. And of course there's a lot of incense in the drydown (because it's Amouage). Nothing special going on. Honestly feels like something you’d get for a few bucks, not worth the price at all. 2/10
