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!
