Maison Francis Kurkdjian Amyris Homme Extrait
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Amyris Homme Extrait
Description
Amyris Homme Extrait de Parfum, launched in 2019, intensifies Maison Francis Kurkdjian's original 2012 Amyris Homme into a richer ambery-woody composition. Perfumer Francis Kurkdjian pairs Jamaican amyris with Florentine iris, warmed by saffron and Ceylon cinnamon and finished with vanilla and tonka bean, an ambery-woody scent enhanced by real spice rather than a straightforward citrus cologne.
It trades the lighter original's freshness for more depth and warmth, without losing the amyris-iris pairing at its core.
Scent Character
- Amber/Woody: 35%
- Sweet (Vanilla, Tonka): 30%
- Spicy (Saffron, Cinnamon): 20%
- Citrus (Mandarin): 15%
Translation: a warm, spiced amber-woody scent built on amyris, iris, and vanilla.
