Amouage Perfume factory

Located close to the Muscat airport, the Amouage Perfume factory welcomes you with a whiff of fragrance—quite literally. This is an establishment that has been around for around 35 years and is easily one of the best that the country has to offer. The reason for that is simple. The factory only uses natural flowers in all their perfumes! This is a niche luxury fragrance house that is well known for its finely crafted fragrances using natural and best quality ingredients. At the factory, you have a guide to show you around the process and photography is not allowed. Starting with ingredients (the flowers), the distilling and filtering process to capture the essential oils and bottling and final packaging—the entire process is shown behind a glass case where the workers are doing their job. Naturally the brand has found much favour among discerning clients, royals and global leaders apart from celebrities. The factory also has a store where you can buy the perfumes —you just need deep pockets! The store also retails a line of exclusive leather bags and purses. The visiting hours are Sunday to Thursday between 8.30 AM and 4.30 PM.
