Amyris Homme Maison Francis Kurkdjian 2019 Extrait de Parfum

Before you read my review, here's one from my Parfumo habibi AlexSVW. He's a post below me.

First, thanks to AlexSVW for the sample of this beautiful fragrance. I will return the favor when I get a chance.

Fragrance:
The fragrance represents the image of a full-grown man. It has that "uncle note". By that I mean: that one moment in childhood when a man hugged his uncle and thought to himself "he always smells so good". To describe it to you in more detail, it goes in the direction of a shaving foam, but not the sharp/fresh part, but the sweet part. This is combined with tonka bean, cinnamon, vanilla and iris. The fragrance is fresh and sweet as well as spicy and creamy. It is suitable for every occasion. From spring to winter. From office to brawl. From young to old. A niche all-rounder, and therefore also the rarer kind of niche. So far also one of the fresh niche fragrances that I find rather positive (because most of the others are a slightly modified version of designer fragrances).

Longevity: For a fresh niche fragrance, 8hrs of longevity is not a big challenge (respect). I can also imagine it lasting longer.

Sillage: The sillage is at a gentleman's level. What does that mean? You don't need a radiation suit to protect yourself, but you can feel it throughout. I love it. Because many fragrances lead to scent blindness after a while. This one doesn't.

Value for money: I can imagine that there are one or two designers who go in a similar direction. But if you're looking for something exclusive, you've come to the right place. Unfortunately, the price here only justifies the name of the brand.

I can't say anything about the bottle as I only have a sample.
