Summer Meditations
“A song of salty incense, of mineral warmth and summer meditations, Lineage is the scent of travelling far from home to get closer to yourself." The olfactory class is categorized as Spicy Aquatic Mineral. This certainly breaks the mold of traditional summer inspired fragrances.

I was put off by the heady herbal opening, but found that this phase did not last long and later came to appreciate it. Olibanum and myrrh are obviously primary, but definitely detecting vetiver as the fragrance dries down gradually. The patchouli appears to be very faint, however there is a presence of benzoin that becomes more pronounced as Lineage progresses. In many ways I'm reminded of Akkad by Lubin, only with a mineral quality. Both note pyramids contain olibanum, patchouli and labdanum. They open much differently, but with a similar contrast. Lineage focuses on myrrh opposed to amber and vanilla.

It's funny how color plays a role in our perception of scent. If jade had a smell, I imagine this is what it would smell like. Amouage is always more than a fragrance, but an experience. I feel transported to someplace new and exotic with each sniff. The kind of place that's difficult to leave.

Yoga on the salty rocks
The only modern Amouage which I adore, probably due to the fact that Karine Vinchon Spehner has been working with the company for a long time and thanks to that succeeded fusing old traditions with the new creative direction (towards winning over the crowds).

Lineage is a meditative yoga scent to me, introspective, introverted while also chic and different. I am confused why it's not more popular than it is, and can't help but wonder if it's only the fact that Guidance came out at the same time. It's a highly resionous mineral perfume evoking salty rocks, fresh mineral breeze and cooling incense smoke. Makes me think about doing yoga on top of the rocks next to the ocean. Since doing just that is out of my reach, I prefer to wear it on hot summer days when I tend to feel anxiety induced by the heat. It calms my nerves and makes me feel like an it-girl, no matter how far away I am from being one.

Seaside spa getaway
At first sniff, Lineage gives a quick blast of ginger, pepper, saffron, and something bright and green and slightly similar to eucalyptus. The top notes melt away quickly, revealing resins, fenugreek, and salty minerality. There's a faint, slightly sweet green note like cucumber in the drydown. The overall effect is less culinary and more like an expensive spa getaway. Although the notes listed may seem like a strange combination, each component is delicate and well-blended. Lineage is somehow both relaxing and invigorating, a beautiful fragrance for summer.

Paying homage to Poseidon
A fragrance from under the hand of Karine Vinchon-Spehner, who created my favorite perfumes for Amouage so far, namely Myths, Boundless, and Overture. I was quite skeptical about it at first; on paper it appeared as incense and by the first reviewers it was described as a marine fragrance. This caused some dissonance; moreover, neither one nor the other strand is among my favorites. However, I trusted the author and I will say that I was not disappointed and in fact very positively surprised.

The first puff, I sniffed and the beginning seemed very unpleasant: sweet, marine, even fishy. Then I thought: "what have I done, why did I need it?". However, it's a matter of a few minutes and there is a transition to the right scent and this one is downright fantastic! A very comfortable patchouli and sea fragrance, which vibrates with a gentle minerality known for example from Megamare (here, fortunately, in a light version). Frankincense, on the other hand, occurs deep in the background, making the scent create a mint-menthol bubble around us. A cool cooling effect that probably gets the job done on warmer days. In the deep base the patchouli becomes a bit more spicy. The fragrance could be described as a temple of Poseidon perched on a cliff washed by the waves of the Mediterranean. In short: my favorite among the brand's recent releases.

Salty meditation island
With the heat of late August Lineage is giving its best.
They wrote that it's not true, that it absolutely doesn't refer to a sun-baked beach, but it's very true:
at the beginning, the mineral and marine sensation given by pepper and saffron exactly personifies the strength of a flamboyant and untameable sea.
In the drydown a magnificent saline, creamy, amber and green sensation. It is the island of Lost made perfume, a non-place near Fiji. With some esoteric and mystical aspects (incense) too.
You have to recognize when a nose creates exactly what it was commissioned to do, and here too... Spehner, like Bish with purpose, have succeeded perfectly. What art!!!!

Unremarkable fresh myrrh, incense + somewhat marine saltiness (à la Zoologist). For those who enjoy meditation. Essences worthy.

Lineage plays with contrasts, blending brightness with darkness, herbal freshness with resinous depth, and coolness with warmth! So complex!

Green-spicy. Very bizarre contrast between fenugreek and incense, leading to a kitchen spice/herb pantry feel. Where would you wear this?

It totally fits to the story behind it. It’s like a salty seabreeze on a shore in hot climates like Oman.

Smartly crafted amber-incense blend with fresh twist. Unique, smooth and refined. Summer-friendly despite its rich notes.

Salty and aromatic with a touch of sweetness and incense. Smells like the lobby of an upscale seaside resort.

Has potential, but the calonic/cucumber note stands out just a bit too much and makes this smell rather... Cheap, unfortunately. Skip.

A sweet aldehydic note that isn't listed pervades throughout. Powdery sweet patchouli, don't get much resins unless I stick my nose in it
