Patience

I received this recently as a gift from my brother
He has a bottle of his and already informed me how rose heavy it is.

First impression: I smell Like my grandma's powder

Now this is where patience comes in

Decided to wear this heavy and head out. This was where things took a turn for the better
In the air, it smells of quality ingredients and the highest level of craftsmanship

It is now in my top 3 and I'm wearing it as I type this

Difficult to layer because of how piercing it can be but I've found success with interlude, Zegna Indonesian oud
Kosmala Arabian passion
Gucci intense oud
And
Mancera red tobacco

Shall we dance?

A truly magnifi-scent Rose from Amouage!! I bought this at Dubai Duty Free some time ago and it was really love at first sniff ... so much so that I went into the bathroom just after take-off to wash off my other tests as best I could and gave myself a thorough dousing of Lyric! Two of the cabin attendants (one male and the other female) complimented it vociferously and were never far away, offering champagne and warmed nuts. It lasted beautifully for the duration of the 8 hour flight I was on ...

The rose here is deeply sophisticated ... lifted gracefully by the bergamot at the top and then supported faithfully by the incense and vanilla down below. The ingredients here are of the very best quality. A hint of Neroli, a dash of Saffron ... Sandalwood lasting throughout the impressive lifespan of this fragrance. It's so good it's almost edible!!

Fragrance often transports me to places in my immagination, and this one takes me to a lavish ballroom ... all crystal chandeliers and gold fittings, with damask on the walls so richly red that it's almost like fine red wine spilled on the whitest silk. Couples whirl gracefully on the polished parquet floor ... the men handsome in their tails, the ladies ravishing in their ballgowns, bright and twittery as a flock of exotic parrots. Sigh ...

Rosey soapy freshie!

I know yesterday in conversation with a few folk, I said that lyric man was pretty formal, or at least a little too formal for everyday casual wear. am I wearing a suit today? no of course not, I've never been one to follow the rules and you can ask my doctors about that.

I fucking love this thing man, ever since I started on my true fragrance journey about this time last year, this is the bottle that I put the biggest dent in. I told you guys that I love Rose based frags and this is not shy on the red at all. If i could describe it in a way that does it justice, it would be a really really intense Rose bar of soap that was mechanically placed in your nostril by those robotic spiders that were chasing around Tom Selleck in that one movie; you know the one*. it's so loud without being abrasive but still has that trademark Amouage darkness, but only a dabble of the darkness. performance is also outstanding as I usually get around 10 hours or 9 at the minimum.

this is an all year fragrance, even in the hot hot hot, hot days of August; just got to be a little careful with the sprays, and shit, on me it works best in the winter so go figure. as for occasion I already said that its surprisingly formal, but i also said i dont give 2 shits about convention and wore it today wearing a tee, running pants and some trainers. a lovely facet of this frag is that it can often be found at discounters for a pretty damned good price; ive seen it as low as $125. so if you haven't and enjoy freshies or rose based affairs, give this. a shot.

*the movie is called Runaway, and it also stars GW Bailey, the police chief from the Police Academy movies, so get educated.

Pure Natural Rose...

Superb natural smelling rose based scent. Rose is the operative word, as it dominates the fragrance from start to finish and smells just like you might find a freshly cut one in your local florist shop. Quite frankly, I think this may be the most natural rose scent I have smelled to date (outside of having the rose itself)...

Bottom line is Lyric Man is a great scent. The only "problem" I have with it is I think I would have trouble wearing it due to its feminine nature (IMO). I would *love* to smell this on a lady, however, as it smells fantastic. Another 4 out of 5 star winner from the house of Amouage.

Rose meets church

In the opening it reminds me very much of a mixture of Tiziana Terenzi Cassiopeia (some tender peach or apricot) and the freshness of Statuario from I Profumi del Marmo. There are citruses and pine notes.

In dry down I mostly feel mixture of powder (not talc but women's powder) and lipstick. Nutmeg, rose and insence are introduced. Rose is little bit soapy but incense gives it roundness and fullness.

When it's dry vanilla shows and until the end it's awesome and well rounded mix of beautiful rose, strong incense and sweetness of vanilla.

More feminin perfume but man can easily wear this depending on the occassion.
