An exclusive fragrance launch in Muscat, where legend, opera and perfumery converge.
A new chapter of artistic perfumery unfolds in Muscat, where exclusivity meets legend. Sindbad, a fragrance of mythical proportions, is now unveiled in selected boutiques, offering a journey that bridges the mystery of storytelling, the elegance of opera, and the artistry of scent.

As the voyage begins, shadows and secrets arise. The heart reveals an unexpected depth: the dark allure of black tea, the aromatic richness of davana, and a unique cappuccino accord — at once creamy and coffee-like. Like smoke that draws the traveler into uncharted lands, this core is enigmatic, hypnotic, and deeply compelling.
The journey concludes in triumph, as Sindbad finds love and serenity. Tonka bean and vanilla bring a sweet-smoky celebration, while noble cedarwood anchors the fragrance in tranquillity. At the base, labdanum, cypriol, and vetiver add a rooty, smoky depth that recalls the eternal pull of home.
Presented in the bespoke Essences flacon, its desert-inspired ridges shaped like the twelve-pointed emblem of Amouage, Sindbad embodies both heritage and modernity. Beneath the bottle, a hand-made medal carries the fragrance’s essential details alongside a star map, while the outer sleeve — created with a wave-like, multi-hued motif — reflects the vast seas of Sindbad’s adventures.
Far-reaching, spellbinding, and exclusive, Sindbad is available only in selected stores in Muscat, Oman.
