An abandoned hut that I should visit more often, probably alone...
With the arrival of spring, I felt it was time to revisit Beach Hut Man, one of my all-time favorites that, for some reason, I hadn't worn in a while. As soon as I sprayed it, I was reminded why this fragrance stands out in Amouage’s lineup - at least among those I tried.
It’s green, crisp, and bold, transporting you straight to an isolated hut overlooking the sea (but not too close to it), where the air mingles with the scent of sun-warmed driftwood and untamed wind battered herbs.
Crafted by Elise Benat (who has also worked on Bracken Man), Beach Hut Man is a classic Amouage olfactory journey rather than a simple scent... which is in line with what you should expect, when you pay for a niche fragrance. It opens with a punch of mint and galbanum, creating a sharp, green freshness that immediately grabs your attention.
This isn't your typical beach fragrance at all; there’s no coconut suntan lotion, "solar notes" nor sugary cocktails here. Instead, it's like stepping onto a rugged, windswept coastline, where nature is raw. Maybe that hut has been abandoned for a long time?
As the fragrance develops, a heart of moss and ivy (borderline fig, according to my nose) emerges, grounding the initial blast of greenery with an earthy depth. This phase feels like walking through overgrown dunes, with the breeze carrying the scent of sun-scorched plants. Then, as it settles, Beach Hut Man reveals its woody base, with dry vetiver and myrrh adding a slightly smoky, resinous touch. The transition from bright and green to warm and dry is seamless, making this one of the most well-constructed green fragrances I know.
In terms of wearability, Beach Hut Man is incredibly versatile for the right occasions. It’s perfect for outdoor settings whether it's a countryside walk, a coastal getaway, or even just a casual day in the city when you want to bring a bit of that fresh, windswept energy with you. I wouldn’t call it a date-night fragrance unless your idea of romance involves hiking up a scenic trail at sunrise... but for daytime wear, especially in spring and summer, it's a top-tier choice.
After revisiting it, I can confidently say that Beach Hut Man remains one of my favorite green fragrances of all time - and overall top 10. If you’re looking for something that breaks away from the usual aquatic or citrus-heavy warm-weather scents, this is the perfect alternative. Now that spring is here, I think I’ll be reaching for it a lot more.
As a cheaper and somewhat sweeter alternative, I can recommend Eau Sauvage Parfum (2017), where the vetiver seems to work in a similar way. This is a very good option, with similar performance. Just be mindful of the orange note, which is not present in Beach Hut Man.
