This guide is personal. Amouage was founded in Oman in 1983 by Sayyid Hamad bin Hamoud Al Busaidi at the request of Sultan Qaboos, built to be the Gift of Kings, and its perfumes are still made in Muscat. MOJ was born in Oman too, which is why our catalog's deepest wing, twenty-five interpretations, belongs to Amouage. Nobody pretends an interpretation replaces the original; what it does is let you wear the ideas daily while the original, at around AED 1,550 per 100ml at the Dubai Mall boutique and UAE retailers, stays an occasion purchase. The ten below sit in the perfumes for men collection at MOJ and its women's counterpart.

The usual rules apply. Every fact is verified against Amouage's own site and UAE retailer listings from August 2026, prices are as listed at time of writing, and where sources disagree on a credit, we say so rather than guess.

The Best Amouage Perfumes and Their MOJ Versions

1. Interlude M

Interlude Man (2012, perfumer Pierre Negrin) is Amouage's modern cult classic, built on a single idea: chaos on the surface, harmony hidden in the heart. Oregano and bergamot collapse into a storm of incense, opoponax and amber over oud and leather, and its following ran deep enough that Amouage released the amplified Interlude 53 extrait in 2020. The original runs around AED 1,550 per 100ml in the UAE.

• Top: oregano, pepper, bergamot
• Heart: incense, opoponax, amber, labdanum
• Base: agarwood (oud), leather, sandalwood, patchouli

The MOJ version starts at AED 48. This is the one to try first if you want to understand why people speak about Amouage in lowered voices: nothing else in perfumery smells composed and on fire at the same time.

2. Guidance

Guidance (2023, perfumer Quentin Bisch) opened Amouage's new creative era and became its new-generation bestseller: pear and hazelnut over the house triad of rose, frankincense and ambergris, finished with saffron and sandalwood. It sells for AED 1,550 per 100ml at UAE retailers, with the Guidance 46 extrait above it at around AED 2,150.

• Top: pear, hazelnut, olibanum
• Heart: osmanthus, rose, saffron, jasmine sambac
• Base: sandalwood, vanilla, akigalawood, ambergris, labdanum

The MOJ version starts at AED 48. If Interlude is Amouage's past glory, this is its present: sweet without being childish, regal without being heavy, and the pick for anyone who wants one bottle that does both genders and every season.

3. Reflection M

Reflection Man (2007, perfumer Lucas Sieuzac) is the Amouage people wear to be promoted: rosemary and pink pepper over a heart of neroli, jasmine and orris, on sandalwood and vetiver. It is the rare white-floral fragrance that reads unmistakably masculine, and it earned its own Reflection 45 extrait tribute. Around AED 1,550 per 100ml locally.

• Top: rosemary, pink pepper, petitgrain
• Heart: jasmine, neroli, orris root, ylang-ylang
• Base: sandalwood, cedar, vetiver, patchouli

The MOJ version starts at AED 48. Boardrooms, weddings, first impressions that need to last: this is the most office-safe pick in the list and arguably the most complimented.

4. Epic M

Epic Man (2009) is Amouage's Silk Road story, following the legends of the road from China to Arabia: saffron, cardamom and frankincense over myrrh and geranium, landing on oud, leather and sandalwood. Amouage states a 23 percent oil concentration aged for six weeks, which explains both the longevity and the AED 1,550 price per 100ml.

• Top: pink pepper, olibanum, saffron, nutmeg, cardamom, caraway, mace, myrtle
• Heart: myrrh, geranium
• Base: incense, agarwood (oud), leather, castoreum, patchouli, cedar, sandalwood, musk

The MOJ version starts at AED 48. Of the ten, this is the most traditionally Arabian: the one for majlis evenings, winter months and anyone whose taste already lives east of the oud aisle. It also appears in our best saffron perfumes guide.

5. Lyric M

Lyric Man (2008, perfumer Daniel Visentin) made rose masculine years before it became a trend: lime and bergamot into a spiced rose wrapped in angelica, saffron and ginger, over incense, sandalwood and vanilla. One of the earliest modern masculine rose statements from a major house, and still one of the best.

• Top: lime, bergamot
• Heart: rose, angelica, ginger, orange blossom, saffron, nutmeg, galbanum
• Base: musk, incense, pine tree, sandalwood, vanilla

The MOJ version starts at AED 39, the joint-cheapest entry here. For the man who finds oud too heavy and fresh scents too forgettable, the spiced rose lane is wide open and almost nobody in the room will be in it.

6. Journey W

Journey Woman (2014, perfumer Alberto Morillas, with Pierre Negrin credited on the Journey duo) is honeyed apricot over jasmine and mimosa, resting on pipe tobacco, saffron and vanilla. Tobacco in a feminine fragrance was a bold call in 2014; it is why this one still smells like nothing else at the counter.

• Top: osmanthus, apricot, nutmeg, jasmine, cardamom
• Heart: honey, mimosa, jasmine sambac, cedar
• Base: tobacco, saffron, vanilla, cypriol oil, musk

The MOJ version starts at AED 39. Evening dinners, cooler months and anyone who wants sweetness with a grown-up edge: the honey pulls people in, the tobacco keeps the story interesting.

7. Honour Women

Honour Woman (2011, perfumers Violaine Collas and Alexandra Carlin) is opera in a bottle, inspired by the tragedy of Madama Butterfly: rhubarb and pepper opening onto a grand white-floral heart of gardenia, tuberose and jasmine, over amber, incense and leather. Around AED 1,550 per 100ml at UAE retailers.

• Top: rhubarb, pepper, coriander
• Heart: gardenia, tuberose, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, carnation
• Base: amber, incense, opoponax, vetiver, leather

The MOJ version starts at AED 39. This is the statement floral of the list: weddings, galas and evenings that come with photographers. White florals this committed are not for hiding in.

8. Dyaa M

Dia Man is the quiet one, an eclectic chypre from the early 2000s that Amouage says was inspired by the natural wonders of Oman and designed to complement its first fragrance, Gold. Bitter orange and frankincense over plum, orris and peony, finishing on leather, white musks and cedar, at a stated 20 percent oil concentration.

• Top: incense, cardamom, labdanum, bitter orange
• Heart: peony, plum, orris root, ylang-ylang
• Base: vetiver, Brazilian rosewood, leather, amber, patchouli

The MOJ version starts at AED 54. For the man who thinks most perfume tries too hard, this is the antidote: refinement at conversation distance, nothing shouting, everything considered.

9. Enclave

Enclave (2020, from the Renaissance Collection, credited to Julien Rasquinet) is Amouage's new-school juxtaposition: cool spearmint and cardamom crashing into frankincense, rose and patchouli over amber and leather. Mint over incense should not work; the fact that it does is the whole appeal.

• Top: spearmint, cardamom, pink pepper, cinnamon
• Heart: frankincense, patchouli, vetiver, rose
• Base: amber, labdanum, leather

The MOJ version starts at AED 39. The young pick of the ten: it wears modern and cold-warm at once, and it converts people who thought Amouage was only for their fathers.

10. Silver Oud

Opus XIII Silver Oud (2021, credited by Amouage to perfumer Cecile Zarokian) closes the list from the collector's shelf, the Library Collection: cypriol and patchouli over Assam oud and vanilla, landing on castoreum, birch and guaiac wood, with Stendhal's novel The Red and the Black as its stated inspiration. Library Collection bottles carry premium pricing above the main line.

• Top: cypriol oil, patchouli, Virginia cedar
• Heart: agarwood (oud), Madagascar vanilla
• Base: castoreum, birch, ambrarome, guaiac wood

The MOJ version starts at AED 69, the premium entry of the ten and priced like it for a reason: this is dense, literary oud for people who already own the basics. Pair it with our best oud perfumes guide if that shelf is still being built.

Original or Inspired: The Honest Answer

Amouage originals are among the best-made perfumes on earth, with stated oil concentrations most designers never reach, and if AED 1,550 sits comfortably in your budget, visit the Dubai Mall boutique and buy the one that moves you. The MOJ interpretations exist for everyone else, and for the Amouage owners who want to wear the style on ordinary Tuesdays without watching the level drop in a bottle that costs more than a weekend away. Same ideas, AED 39 to 175, made by a house from the same country that still considers Amouage the standard.
