Classic yet modern perfume

Beautiful classic yet modern man perfume. The opening, which combines bitter bergamot with lemon and cypress needles, is reminiscent of the beginning of Terre d'Iris (Miller Harris). It is followed by velvety lavender, which blends with pungent clove, sweetened with cinnamon dust. The finish includes earthy sweet, at some moments almost mushroomy patchouli smoothed with creamy musk.

Masculinity

Bracken Man offers us a charming, traditional old school fougere: spicy, fresh, zesty and woody. Its clean, well composed, lineair (which isnt always a bad thing) and, in the end, an unique alternative for fougeres lovers.

For reference: imagine going for a walk in a forest, one hour after a rainstorm. Under those types of circumstances our olfactive senses are indulged with that dewy, damp, sharp, itching, woody yet refreshing smell that keeps lingering in the forest during your whole walk.

I would call it masculinity at its finest. How would you?

Classic lavender with hints of patchouli

I think there must be some kind of confussion with this fragrance because of ingredients. It has a lot of herbal aspects in the composition, but not dominates the fragrance. Absolutely fougere in Invasion Barbare way, but if I had to highlight an aspect is the patchouli dominant part. Remember me of that kind of patchouli you can find in Richwood Xerjoff and the lavender parts of Angel men. Not a light fragrance at all even with this presentation, but lighter than his brother Sunshine from the house. There is a clear connection and where Sunshine is vanilla sweet and boozy, Bracken is more formal, classic and elegant patchouli - lavender. Nothing new in this fragrance, although is a new direction in Amouage perfumes. This is not a spectacularly blended and rounded fragrance, a little harsh and headache inducing. I prefer Sunshine for his originality.

An Ode To Cloves

Bracken Man is an ode to cloves, celebrating this spicy, warm note in a way thats both bold and innovative. From the moment you first catch its scent, Bracken Man brings cloves to the forefront, mixing it with a daring version of lavender (lavandin) with its camphorous aspects to set the stage. All these are backed by a cast of nutmeg, green ferns, and a surprising twist of sharp lemon. Just when you think you've got it figured out you get smoky undertones and a comforting blend of warm spices and creamy tonka to smooth over the initial intensity.
Wearing Bracken Man makes you feel like a golden polished coin, valued, distinguished, and radiating confidence(Yeah its that good!!)
It's a fragrance for the gentleman who appreciates the finer things in life, who knows that true elegance lies in the balance of boldness and refinement. Amouage has crafted here a scent that's both timeless and contemporary, a fragrance that resonates with the man who knows what he wants and is unapologetic in his pursuit of it.

My clovish signature.

Cloves, one must like to indulge this beast of a fougere that takes no prisoners in its overtake of the olfactory perception on what one knows and what one thought. Touché Amouage, you have taken a classic, the likes of Beau De jour and Drakkor and turned it on its head with clove forward, naturalness that invites all but the madest Karen's.

And who likes mad Karen's? Not I, said the jester. I want fun, life, to live. Effervescent's and love. This is like a 60's revolution on the modern fougere to be something different, something angled.

But to most, it probably does exactly what Beau De jour does in the air. And 95% of them will never smell cloves, they just smell a manly, sophisticated, natural barbershop scent that is inviting, nice and signature worthy.

sample first.
