History
The company was founded, at the request of Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said,[2] in 1983 in Muscat, Oman by Prince Sayyid Hamad bin Hamoud Al Busaidi.[3] In 2006, David Crickmore was appointed CEO.[4] [5] Christopher Chong was the creative director.[6] Crickmore and Chong resigned in 2019.[7] [8] In recent years, Amouage has expanded its range to include bath, home and leather goods.[1] [9]

There are 21 standalone Amouage shops, and their products are sold in department stores around the world.[10]
Amouage’s visitors center and factory, located in Muscat has the capacity to produce approximately 25,000 bottles a week.[11] The two-storey building opened in December 2012 and is open to visitors.[12]
