With manufacturing levels increasing dramatically year-on-year, Amouage built a new Factory and Visitors’ Centre in Muscat to provide adequate capacity for the next ten years at least, up to a maximum of 20,000 bottles a week. The two-storey perfumery opened its doors to visitors in December 2012, giving them the opportunity to view the various stages of perfume manufacturing from ingredient maceration to bottling and packaging as well as learn about the perfume extraction process.
