Amouage's Renaud Salmon on the Odyssey Collection Chapter III | Search, Purpose, Lineage, Guidance

Four new perfumes were recently added to the Amouage Odyssey Collection. Chapter III of the line includes Search, Purpose, Lineage, and Guidance. Much like the rest of the collection, these fragrances are deeply inspired by the landscape of Oman, where the house is based and where the relatively new creative director Renaud Salmon now presides. Fragrantica contributor Adam Forziati spoke with Renaud recently about the new line and his experience at the helm of one of the most successful niche perfume houses on the market. We learn about the experiences which informed Renaud's conception of the new additions to the line; what he hopes to accomplish at Amouage going forward; and even the different extractions of materials used in some of the perfumes.
