Is Existence suitable for a professional office environment?+−
It can be worn to business meetings, but caution is required with the trigger. Because of its intense projection and sharp lily-of-the-valley notes, more than one or two sprays might be too loud for a confined office space.
How does this compare to other fresh Amouage scents like Dia?+−
Existence is much spikier and more modern than Dia. While Dia is known for being soft and rounded, Existence utilizes Mystikal® and aldehydes to create a more industrial, "gushing waterfall" effect that feels more aggressive.
Is this a safe blind buy?+−
No. Due to the polarizing nature of the Mystikal® note and the sharp aldehydes, community members strongly recommend sampling first. Reactions range from "sublime" to "metallic," making it a risky purchase without testing on skin.
How does the performance compare to other Amouage fragrances?+−
It upholds the brand's reputation for high performance. While not as "thick" as a scent like Interlude, it matches the longevity of heavy hitters, often lasting well over 12 hours and remaining strong even after a full day of wear.
