Improvements
[edit]Evaluation of article (for class):
I have taken note that this article has an extremely brief history section as well as no tied references to the information, issues that I think can be resolved. The facts are all assumed, it seems, from the houses website, yet there is also information of the brand's current movements that include no sources to look into. From a quick search I have found reliable sources that can definitely help expand the account for the Oman brand, without entering copyright grounds.
There is additionally a few minor spelling errors. I believe it's a problem that we're including facts such as how many bottles are produced in a week with no backup. When I compare the Wikipedia page for Amouage to equally reputable houses like Creed and Guerlain, it's clear a great improvement could be made on the brand's coming and it's Eastern perfumery methods, but since the house is fairly new in comparison, it's understandable that we haven't gotten there yet.

Tidy up - outstanding issues
[edit]From my understanding of this brand's position in the premium fragrance space, this article appears lacking substance. I've checked various places including in the history and have not quite been able to find enough satisfactory reliable/independent sources to flesh it out. Another issue as a result of transliteration and lack of information elsewhere is the founder. Unsure if it was the patriarch of the family or the son.
