Amouage Existence is getting all of the love right now, and I agree, it is beautiful. To me it is a sweet, soapy floral with beautiful touches of incense. I’ve only tested this from a sample, but on my skin, this comes off very loud. On my day of testing, I did a spray on each arm and ended up having to scrub it off because it felt too strong to my nose. It felt like the type of floral to give me a headache. I do think it smells beautifully addictive though. Upon smelling Existence, I was immediately reminded of Parfums De Marley Valaya and I decided to try it with Amouage Guidance to see how they compared. To me this combo is pretty close to Existence. I still think Existence is much more soapy and a tad more sweet, but this combo didn’t give me a headache so this is going to be my Existence. 😂 Layering like this is my way of de-influencing MYSELF! I’m NOT saying that this fragrance (or any) is not worth it, but my collection is huge and I don’t need to keep buying EVERYTHING. If you want to see more of these in the future, let me know!
