Amyris Homme Maison Francis Kurkdjian 2012 Eau de Toilette

.. you read this and think: "Huh? Love is not spelled Amyris. What is he talking about, or what does that mean?"

Well, let me explain it to you. Grab something to drink, put on your reading glasses if necessary, and lean back - I’m glad you’re taking the time! I will now try to align feelings and the scent profile as best as I can.

Love, what is it actually? The feeling of security, of coming home, of affection, warmth, and a caring, active attention to the other. Something that is needed by humans.

L - Lightness. Amyris Homme starts off lightly fruity warm, with a subtle hint of floral notes that, as it develops, sweetly accompanies like hair in a young lady's locks.

I - Impulsive. Instantly positive associations come to mind when applying the fragrance. Here, WELL-BEING is written in capital letters.

E - Overwhelming. It amazes me that a fragrance can become a universal top-tier through the interplay of woods, Amyris, mandarin, and tonka, making me rave about it. The combination of freshness, warmth, and lightness, yet simultaneous heaviness, is simply genius.

B - Soothing. Spray it on, perceive it nasally, smile, and feel at home. Just like the sense of security conveyed in a partnership, Amyris Homme can pick you up into its world and let you relax.

E - Unique. Like the partner who lets you be YOURSELF. Where you arrive and are instantly "There." There is no second one like that (in my world).

So you see, I am in love. This fragrance has captivated me. We have a composition of fruit, sweetness, light wood, and an enveloping feeling of cleanliness.

The longevity is really good, you get about 7 hours here - of course, depending on skin type.

The sillage is noticeable for the first 2 hours, after that it’s more intimate. But Amyris doesn’t want to shout. It wants to enchant YOU.

I hope you understand a bit of what I, a humble person, want to express. Painting pictures is easy; conveying impressions in one’s own way of perception is not quite so.

Thank you very much for your attention, your patience, and your existence here. I look forward to your opinion!

Love is spelled Amyris.
