Lyric Man Amouage for men

THE DELICATE STRENGTH OF FEMININITY An ivory tower wreathed in shreds of clouds, dewy mists of fragile Pear, inviting Almond Milk and beads of Frankincense draw the outlines of a dreamful haven. A princess whispers you in and leads the way to a lush garden where Osmanthus blossoms diffuse their heady apricot scent. A fountain gleams in the centre, its marble edge covered in scarlet roses whose voluptuous scent meets that of leathery Saffron threads laid on the floor. Through Jasmine screens, sultry and spent, the woman walks and there comes with her a scent of dark Vanilla and skinlike Sandalwood, of ambery Labdanum and purring hints of regal Orientalgris: who are you, she asks, and you feel seen. A spellbinding and novel interpretation of the Amouage triad of Rose, Frankincense and Orientalgris, Guidance reads like a poem, smells like an embrace, and feels like a word of wisdom.

Starting with an olfactory bolt of lightning, Decision banishes the darkness of uncertainty – an effect achieved through a combination of the cool woodiness and citrus-mineralic sparkle of Frankincense, Bergamot, Myrrh and Juniper Berries. After this striking opening, the light spreads further, aided by the gleaming sheen of Atlas Cedarwood. Finally, a warm Vanilla in the base conveys the profoundly liberating effect of acceptance. Uncompromising, distinctive and incandescent, Decision captures the paradox that lies at the core of all of life’s most powerful decisions: it is focused on its goal while remaining open to countless possibilities.

Amouage introduces a new luxurious pair, Epic, by the House’s creative director Christopher Chong. This fragrant duo is inspired by the Puccini’s Turandot, and tried to embody the legend of the ancient Silk Road from China to Arabia. The female fragrance, Epic Woman, represents an endeavor run by strength and ambition, while the Epic Man is a compass on the Silk Road. Richness of these fragrances evokes the goods that were objects of trade in Asia (gold, pearls, tea, silk, jade, spices and incense), mixed with the dramatic signature of the House. The male fragrance Epic Man is an oriental woody one, offering you pink pepper, cardamom, saffron and nutmeg at the top. The heart pulses with essences of geranium and myrrh, while the base consists of precious Aoud, patchouli, leather and incense. The perfumes are available as 50 and 100 ml EDP. Their bottles were designed to look like they’re made out of royal jade of the Orient, with some golden details to point out the richness of Arabia. The outer packages shines with sheer nude shades of pearl (female edition) and rustic color of brown (male edition), that reminds of ancient China leather suitcases. The nose behind these fragrances is Randa Hammami.
