Amouage "Silver Man"
“Silver Man” is somewhat of a diversion from the well-trodden path typically taken by the Omani perfume company Amouage. This is their take on the concept of the traditional “cologne” and, as can be expected from a non-conformist firm like Amouage, the result is indeed a novel interpretation of the genre.

“Silver Man” starts off with a burst of citruses and fruit, namely bergamot, mandarin orange and plum. And although these notes linger for a while, it soon becomes obvious theirs is merely a supporting role. The true centrepiece of the composition is the white flower accord. First, there’s a generous dose of orange blossom whose effect is later intensified by the emergence of jasmine. While some readers might be wondering if the folks at Amouage have not made a major marketing blunder when it comes to the intended gender of its target customers, I assure you that despite containing several notes normally used in female-oriented scents, “Silver” can indeed be classified as a proper unisex/an unconventional masculine scent. (Actually, hesitant gentlemen may eventually be won over in the drydown during which the cologne’s chest grows a little hairier thanks to the addition of musk.)

To sum up, Amouage have done a very decent job tweaking the original idea behind the classic “eau de cologne” and managed to produce a refined, top-quality, feel-good fragrance, absolutely worthy of this reputable company. Let the summer begin!

Silver Mesh Floral Unisex
It may seem precipitous to conduct an induction based on two cases, but after smelling Amouage ARCUS and SILVER, I see a pattern developing before my nose. Expensive men's colognes are always fully unisex.

SILVER offers another beautifully woven blend which to my nose is impossible to dissect. What I smell is something with a texture very much like a piece of supple silver mesh. It's not a shiny metallic smell but rather the matte mesh scent of ambergris which has been tinged with many other scents to the point where I can only say that the sum total is a very appealing blend.

This creation boasts myriad flowers: orange blossom, heliotrope, jasmine, orchid, rose, and ylang. The florals undoubtedly impart a richness to this cologne, but they are not individually discernible, so no one would ever call this an orange blossom or a jasmine or a rose or any other specific floral composition. The flowers seem essential to the integrity of the whole, but somehow they are not at all salient. Nor, on the other hand, do the characteristically masculine woody notes stick out in any way.

SILVER is the sort of perfume, a rarity these days, which I imagine must have taken years to create. I would describe SILVER as a modern floral unisex blend. Guys who think that they cannot wear floral perfumes should give this creation a try.

Expensive Cologne...
Very nice scent here from Amouage. It is quite powdery, but not over-the-top. It is pretty fresh and somewhat reminds me of freshly cleaned clothes. I just recently smelled another scent that had a similar vibe in Invasion Barbare, but while that highly lauded (and even more expensive) scent left me a bit cold and unimpressed, Silver draws me in and shows its worth. I think the cost of Silver is pretty steep for what you get, but if you have the scratch, you are getting a quality scent that is very versatile and pleasant smelling while setting itself apart from most of the junk being released nowadays. Recommended, with a rating of 3 to 3.5 stars out of 5.

Gold Man's little brother
Silver Man opens with a sweet cologne/neroli accord like those in Echt Kölnisch Wasser Eau de Cologne and Neroli Portofino Eau de Parfum and steadily gets more and more powdery and floral. The jasmine takes over from the orange blossom, and heliotrope and rose introduce powder, though not as heavy as the powderiness of Gold Man, still enough to make me gag a bit. Again like Gold Man, there is something interesting, animalic, resinous in the background trying to escape but the boring "safe" cologne and floral accords block it. The base is mostly musky and not too interesting. I like it more than Gold Man but not by much.

Lighter, creamier and woodier take on Gold Man
Opens up with sharp citrueses(bergamot lemon mandarin) and a touch of fermented fruits. Goes into powdery floral heart and becomes very woody, creamy and musky in the drydown. Main notes would be patchouli, sandalwood, jasmine, heliotrope and musk.

Longevity and projection is good. Around8 hours, and fragrance is super detectable in the air.

Best sandalwood note accross whole house of Amouage. It can be considered oldschool by some, but to me it is timeless.

Classic, classy masculine soapy fragrance - the type of sophisticated, gentlemanly fragrance that doesn't get made anymore.

A floral, masculine, classic 80's scent. Gold Man's twin with a toned down animalic note. Great for neutral, pleasing, noticable presence.

Two sprays in the air and stand underneath. First soap, then flowers, then wood. Soft, deep, long-lasting, and beautiful.

Great green-fresh-floral scent. N°19 for men who don’t want to wear the original. Highlighted with a fresh-herbaceous barbershop aroma.

Marzipan & white flowers, creamy mixed. Tropical, green, woody. Interestingly, way too indolic for me… toilet associations. If you like it.

At first: Arabic flowers like in Gold. But then the journey to Europe begins and it develops into an extraordinarily good scent.
