Amouage is proud to announce the launch of Lyric Man and Woman,
Lyric Man is a deep, hypnotic scent that explores the darker side of the rose. Lyric’s powerful elegance is achieved through the use of the traditionally feminine ingredient of rose, artfully combined with the warm masculinity of woods, ginger and frankincense.
Lyric Man continues the narrative that the house of Amouage began with last years’ launch of Jubilation. Creative Director Christopher Chong has worked to develop a dark and musical fragrance that ‘evokes the sombre sound of eternity’ and recounts the myth of a beautiful young woman and a powerful, mysterious man who seeks to immortalize the beauty of her voice.
Lyric Man opens with the freshness of bergamot and lime that quickly reveal complex middle notes of saffron, angelica, orange blossom and nutmeg, governed by a heart of smoky unusual rose. Base notes of pine, sandalwood and frankincense lend a depth and seriousness to the fragrance, combined with the warmth and dryness of vanilla and musk.
Lyric Woman is a deliciously dramatic fragrance, inspired by the poetic beauty of that most iconic of fragrance notes – the rose.
Creative Director Christopher Chong has carefully crafted Lyric Woman to continue the music-inspired narrative that started with the launch of Amouage’s Jubilation last year. He explains, “Beyond the transient beauty and purity of Lyric lingers a poignant song without beginning or end.” During the creative process, Chong found inspiration in the beauty and drama of the lyric-spinto voice. From this, the story of Lyric Woman was born: a fragile beauty with a rare, other-worldly talent and her quest for perfection and
immortality. Through this story, we are reminded that there is a subliminal beauty in every imperfection.
The fragrance has a complex and sophisticated structure, in which deep, smoky rose takes center-stage in the heart, complimented by dry, floral notes of geranium, jasmine and orris. The spiciness of cinnamon, cardamom and ginger in the top notes lifts the fragrance, while depth is provided by frankincense and wood notes in the base.
In its structure, Lyric is a floral fragrance, but one that introduces a dark intensity and modernity not normally associated with this genre - a perfect illustration of femininity, strength and passion.
