Fragrance Notes Deep Dive

Every great fragrance tells a story in three acts, and Amouage Lyric Man is no exception. The opening salvo presents Lime, Pink Pepper and Saffron, hitting the skin with immediate impact and establishing the character of what follows. As the top notes settle — typically within the first 20–30 minutes — the heart of Amouage Lyric Man emerges: Rose, Geranium, Jasmine and Orris. This is the true signature of the fragrance, the character that those around you will come to recognise. Finally, the base of Sandalwood, Musk, Vanilla, Frankincense and Oud anchors the composition, providing the lasting trail and the memory Amouage Lyric Man leaves long after you have left the room.

The overall accord profile leans toward Floral, Warm Spicy, Rose, Woody, making Amouage Lyric Man a composition that reads with purposeful clarity to anyone paying attention.
