Sindbad by Amouage is part of The Essences, a limited edition composed by perfumer Pierre Negrin. The composition opens with honeyed citrus and fruit notes — tangerine, grapefruit, mango, pomegranate, and apricot — accented by ginger, cardamom, and pink pepper. A heart of black tea, cappuccino, and davana leads to a base of tonka bean, vanilla, cedarwood, labdanum, cypriol, vetiver, and patchouli. The fragrance is presented at 30% essence de parfum and is described as undergoing an oakwood barrel ethanol infusion, a further infusion with sandalwood chips, and a period of maceration.
