About Ampawa
Ampawa: Serenity in a Bottle
Perfumers' Journey unveils Ampawa, a 2026 unisex fragrance that draws on the tranquil imagery of a lotus flower floating on still water. Crafted by Sakul Pawasuttikul and Eak Chieochalakom, this scent is a study in soft contrasts.
The opening is an invigorating mix of grapefruit and a delicate aquatic breeze, instantly refreshing. But as it settles, a creamy fig and powdery lotus heart emerge, turning the fragrance into something more contemplative and warm.
Ampawa begins with a sparkling grapefruit note that is both zesty and slightly bittersweet, reminiscent of freshly peeled citrus. The aquatic nuance is subtle, never veering into saline or overtly marine territory. Instead, it simply enhances the luminous quality of the opening.
In the heart, lotus flower takes pride of place. The perfumers have rendered it in a way that feels both ethereal and tangible, with a soft powdery texture that mimics the bloom's velvety petals. A supporting fig note introduces a gentle fruity sweetness, making the heart feel almost lactonic.
The base is where Ampawa truly finds its grounding. Sandalwood offers a creamy, woody depth that is both comforting and refined. Ambrette musk wraps the composition in a subtle, skin-like embrace, leaving a trace that is close, soft, and quietly alluring. There is also a faint hint of warm spice that adds a touch of complexity without disturbing the overall serenity.
The fragrance evolves gracefully, moving from bright freshness to a mellow, powdery finish. It is a unisex scent that feels equally at home on a man or woman, and its moderate presence makes it suitable for both intimate settings and everyday wear.
According to the brand, the fragrance is built on accords of floral, woody, citrus, musky, fruity, sweet, powdery, aquatic, aromatic, and warm spicy notes. Yet these never overwhelm each other; they are woven together with a delicate hand.
Ampawa will appeal to those with a penchant for understated elegance. It is perfect for fans of fig or lotus fragrances, and for anyone who favors scents that feel personal, calm, and versatile across seasons.
With Ampawa, Perfumers' Journey delivers a contemplative, beautifully crafted fragrance. It is an excellent addition to any collection, offering a rare sense of peace and balance in a bottle.
