Amouage Lyric Man EDP
Description
Lyric Man is Amouage's daring rose-for-men statement: a green, incense-laced amber composed by Daniel Visentin and released in 2008. It opens with bergamot and lime over a boldly masculine rose accord softened by angelica, galbanum, orange blossom, and warm spices (ginger, nutmeg, saffron), then dries down into a base of musk, pine, sandalwood, frankincense, and vanilla. It remains one of the most distinctive rose fragrances built for men, elegant rather than delicate.
