Lyric Man is poetry and romance made into perfume. This fragrance is so beautiful and opulent that it’s only worth it for formal outings like romantic dinners, festivities, weddings… Using it for daily wear is throwing money away, as, like all Amouage fragrances, it’s opulent by nature. Lyric Man is one of the few masculine fragrances with a predominant rose note, but it’s not a rose as we know it in the West, but a different one, probably in an Arab style. Totally recommended but only for formal occasions and cold seasons. A fragrance to keep in mind for men who like perfumes whose leitmotif is rose, but not an excessively velvety rose, but a resinous one like the one in Lyric Man.
This fragrance is so suggestive and romantic. The only two downsides of Lyric Man are what happens with all Amouage fragrances: its high price, and to a lesser extent, that it might not be too masculine due to the neroli and rose notes. I recognise the beauty of Lyric Man but it doesn’t suit my taste because it’s not a masculine fragrance like others from Amouage such as Jubilation XXV, Dia Man, or Interlude Man… But despite this feminine side, it’s a fragrance that, in my opinion, is original, with great projection, longevity, elegant and romantic. I must also say that the dry-down of Lyric Man is more masculine, perhaps due to the resinous pine notes. As a conclusion, it’s a fragrance like all Amouage ones: expensive, but if we take into account the originality, its great longevity, its great projection, and the fact that it’s not for daily wear but for special occasions, we realise it’s worth buying because it pays for itself. I don’t own any Amouage fragrance, I only know them from samples, but I recognise that this house’s fragrances are of great beauty.
Masterpiece. Perhaps it’s not easy for an olfactory palate educated in the West. Liquid poetry. Along with Memoir, Journey, and Opus VI, they are my favourites. My card smells of smoke. Cheers.
In my opinion, one of Amouage’s best fragrances. Lyric Man is pure olfactory poetry. It’s an ‘oriental’ rose wrapped in a fine layer of citrus (bergamot and lime…) with a balsamic core (pine, incense…). In my opinion, it’s one of the most beautiful masculine fragrances we can find, at least in niche perfumery. Longevity and trail are excellent. I recommend it for Autumn and Winter.
Look, my experience with Lyric Man has been a disaster, and it’s not the only thing happening with this brand’s ‘modern’ versions. I suppose it’s because I tried the reformulated bottle with the magnetic cap, or perhaps some component is causing me anosmia, but all I’ve got from this fragrance is a very timid rose, with a touch of bergamot at the start and something green I can’t quite identify, maybe galbanum. Nothing more. In short, a very soapy, light green rose. I haven’t been able to smell anything oriental, resinous, piney, or even incense. I can’t judge its longevity because I could barely smell it, so its trail was very poor. It’s not the only disappointment with the current versions; the same thing happened with Epic and Memoir, which were much more noticeable in their old versions, although the current ones seem better than this Lyric Man. Although I don’t believe in or practice much of this gender thing, I’d say I find it totally unisex, with no clear masculine nuance and a feminine touch from the rose, so it might lean more towards the feminine side. Maybe I’ll give the female version of Epic a try, as many people say it’s much better and more masculine than this Lyric Man. That said, since the bottle says ‘Man’, many will insist it’s very masculine, and since the other says ‘Woman’, the opposite will happen. I’m not sure if I’ll give it another chance, as I was very attracted to its notes, but for now, it’s been a great disappointment.
I had a bad run with Lyric Man and other recent Amouage releases. I tested the 100ml bottle with its magnetic cap, and whether it’s due to a reformulation or a component causing anosmia, I only picked up a very shy rose, a touch of bergamot at the start, and something green I couldn’t identify, perhaps galbanum. In short, a very soapy, light green rose. I detected nothing oriental, no resins, no pine, no incense. As I could barely smell it, I can’t judge its longevity, but its trail was very poor. It’s not the only disappointment with the brand’s ‘modern’ versions; the same happened with Epic and Memoir, which I remember much better in their old formulations, although the current ones seem better than this Lyric Man. Although I’m not a fan of genre labels, I see it as totally unisex, without clear masculine nuances, and the rose leans it more towards the feminine. I might take a look at the female version of Epic, as they say it’s more masculine and better than this. Obviously, many will insist it’s masculine because of the ‘Man’ in the bottle name and vice versa with ‘Woman’, but for now, it’s been a great disappointment despite being attracted to its notes.
The rose is key here. For those unfamiliar with oriental perfumery, it’s worth noting that Arab men have no hesitation with floral notes, whereas Westerners are still reluctant. If flowers are blended well, they can be masculine with an extra touch of sensuality. The rose here is clear despite the incense. Lyric Man is a perfume of great sensitivity. Longevity and trail are outstanding; I could still detect it faintly the next day. I don’t think it’s for daily wear, as its richness reduces versatility. It’s an interesting proposal for intimate and nocturnal moments.
‘Bring me an infusion of incense and rose, please.’ That’s what this fragrance evokes for me, even though it only exists in my imagination, hehe. I have samples at home but don’t use them due to my hesitation about men wearing rose, but when I do try it, I’ll break those false fears. It doesn’t smell like a lady, although some might find it powdery and unfeminine; I respect that. It gave me that sensation, but I also think it’s masculine. It’s nocturnal and sensual, ideal for Christmas dinners. It delivers very well on longevity and projection.
Lyric is a rose soliflore, which makes sense for an oriental house like Amouage. I’m surprised it’s so delicate, musky, and powdery, resembling something European like Maja España or Diptyque. The opening is lovely with squeezed bergamot, then the natural rose fades as the musks and balms rise to sweeten it, making it very feminine. Although the incense helps, it doesn’t neutralise the potent musk. As it dries, the woods emerge and it becomes masculine again, but then the vanilla and sandalwood sweeten it once more. I’m not convinced by this gender swing, nor that the musk suffocates the rose. Quality and longevity are excellent, but it’s tricky for men and better suited to feminine skin.
Lyric is a Rose soliflore, something one might expect from a perfumery house from the Far East like Amouage. I’m surprised that this rose accord is so delicate, musky and powdery that it looks more like a European fragrance, like Maja España, Villoresi or Diptyque. The opening is indeed very pretty when the bergamot kicks off just as if you had squeezed lemons right in front of your nose; underneath you can already feel the rose note. A very natural, beautiful note, but too musky, as soon as the citrus drops, the musks and balms rise and sweeten it a bit, so the scent of this rose changes and is directed spectacularly towards the feminine side, and although the incense plays a good role, it’s not able to neutralise the potent musk. Then during the dry-down it starts to correct itself again, heading towards the masculine side with the rise of the woods, but at the end of the dry-down it begins to sweeten again due to the vanilla and residual sandalwood, so it starts to touch the feminine side again. I’m not convinced by this dizziness of going from masculine to feminine and vice versa. I also don’t like much that the rose note gets suffocated by the musk, a musk accord that is too possessive and controlling for my taste. Excellent qualities, as well as longevity with a moderate trail make Lyric a complicated option for masculine use and much more recommended for a feminine skin. Rating: 6.5.
If you ignore the price, the scent is quite linear and can become tiring due to its high performance. It starts citrusy and feels a bit heavy as it dries down, but these are subtle nuances. What dominates from start to finish is that soapy rose with white musks, citrus, and vanilla.
The rose in Lyric Man is velvety and radiant. The citrus top notes blend with the powdery character of the rose, creating a talcum-like effect yet fresh and smoky due to the incense. Over time, the citrus recedes and warm, vanilla-like notes emerge. The rose remains throughout. I also detect background spices such as ginger, nutmeg, and a hint of pepper, though they are not the protagonists. As it dries, the sandalwood and vanilla round out the composition of rose and incense, creating a good men’s rose perfume (perhaps it may seem feminine to some, but not to me). It performs well but is slightly timid in projection; I would have preferred more presence. I wore it in the heat and it suited me well, so I believe it is versatile for any climate. Overall, I liked it. It is not a complicated scent and has good performance. The price is not cheap, but if you shop wisely and save, it is worthwhile. Recommended if you are a rose lover; at least give it a try.
The rose in Lyric Man is the most natural I’ve tried; it smells like a real petal with that salty twist. It’s linear—I only tested it on a blotter, not on skin—but I loved it immensely. It feels original and of brutal quality.
This Lyric is a spectacular rose, the finest I have smelled in any of its versions. They are roses, yes, but they evolve over time; the ones I adored most were from the dry-down. It is a daring scent for a man, and I say this as someone who appreciates the masculine. During the trial, my wife said it was feminine, and she is right, but it is so beautiful… I didn’t buy it initially because of her comment and because she doesn’t associate men with roses. Its longevity and projection are typical of Amouage. It is of supreme quality and maximum delicacy. I recommend trying it to enjoy this work of art. The price is what it is, though we would all wish it were lower. EDITED: Conquered by its beauty, I have purchased it.
I bought this perfume blind, taking advantage of a shop in Tenerife discounting Amouage perfumes to affordable prices, so I thought: it’s time to finally get one. I hesitated between this and Journey and really don’t know if I made the right choice. I had in mind to get Rose de Taif by Perris Montebello or Black Aoud by Montale in the medium term, both based on rose. As I read several reviews, in Spanish and other languages, saying that Amouage Lyric was one of the most beautiful rose perfumes that exist, and with several recommendations, I thought with this purchase I could fill the gap of the other two, but they are very different. The Perris and Montale ones show more classic roses; the first is more citrusy, unisex and discreet, and the second more intense, masculine and oriental, with a significant participation of oud. This Amouage perfume shows however a very different rose to everything I’ve smelled so far. Did you detect the rose? Of course! But the creamy, balsamic and slightly incensed base gives it a distinct character and makes me almost not notice the rose. In fact, I just sprayed a sample of Rose de Taif on one hand and Lyric on the other; smelling both together, it gives me the sensation that Lyric almost doesn’t smell like roses and smells more like everything else. Besides, I feel it much more delicate, soft and discreet than the Perris Montebello one, which has much more body and intensity. In fact, if I move my hands away, I only perceive the Montebello one. I took Amouage to work today to test its performance and, although at first I could still feel a slight rose scent when bringing my nose to my wrists, I felt that the perfume faded quite soon. With that… Do I regret buying it? Of course not, I love the perfume and I’m going to use it. Besides, I got it at a good price and what stands out most is its great versatility. It seems to me a perfume that doesn’t clash in any situation and being so soft and staying in the background, I see it valid for any season. Perhaps in that sense I expected a bit more intensity from an Amouage perfume. However, I like it more than other Amouage perfumes like Interlude or Jubilation and since I haven’t tried Journey, I feel happy. But… Does it occupy the space I had reserved for it? In that sense, I’m not sure. I thought I had managed to fill the rose space in my collection, but after trying it, I feel that the space for Black Aoud is still there (Rose de Taif perhaps no longer because although it’s a different rose, it goes more in this line), although obviously now it will take much longer to arrive. Do I recommend it? Without a doubt, if you like roses you will surely love it because it’s a rose even simpler than wearing a traditional rose. That said, don’t expect any bomb in terms of duration or much less in projection, in that I found it a bit lacking… Scent: 10 Longevity: 8 Sillage: 6 Value for money: 6 (at the price I got it for the offer) Versatility: 10 General: 9
One of the most romantic fragrances you’ll find in the men’s world. Imagine it with the prelude to the third act of Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde. Lyric Man is not just romantic; it is voluptuous. The rose carries the weight of the composition. Frankly, it feels worlds away from Western conventions; while roses in men’s perfumes are usually more subtle, in Lyric Man they almost dominate. That is why, despite others agreeing, it doesn’t quite fit our usual idea of masculinity. Arabian perfumery is another realm entirely. Still, it is a scent of immense refinement. Ideal for evening wear, romantic dates, and winter.
Oh dear, I put this in the women’s section and realised the sample is actually masculine. X-o. 17/7/18: Today I received the sample and tried it for the first time. At first, I thought it wasn’t quite as special as I expected, but then I realised I don’t know any perfume that smells so much like a natural flower. I think I’ve smelled something similar at the exit, but others usually last the floral note for a while and then disappear. In contrast, Lyric seems built around that fresh, very natural floral note, which gently fades into a talcum-powdered rose. Three hours later, it seems to gain a bit of intensity. I’ll have to try it more times. For now, I love it, only it doesn’t seem to have much of a trail… We’ll see. July 2019: I must confess I didn’t know the scent of roses on the plant… I was lucky to find several rows of rose bushes in Bogotá and could smell freshly opened red roses in their natural state. This Lyric is a perfect recreation of that scent; it smells crisp and natural, fresh and soft, like the caress of a petal, but with all the presence a rose commands. Beautiful. I’ll be happy when I can get a 100 ml bottle – no, 200! No! 1000 ml!! Haha. Meanwhile, I’ll continue to treasure my 3 ml sample…
Well… I posted this review on the female version but I just saw that the sample I have is from the masculine one. X-o 17/7/18: Today I received a sample and tried it for the first time. At first I thought it wasn’t as special as I expected. But then I started thinking that actually I don’t know any perfume that smells so much like a natural flower. I think I’ve smelled something similar in the opening, but generally other perfumes sustain this floral accord for a while and then disappear. In contrast, Lyric seems built on this fresh, very natural floral accord, which gently fades into a talc-dusted rose. Three hours after application, it seems to gain a little intensity. But I’ll have to try it more times. For now, I love it, only that it doesn’t seem to have much trail… We’ll see. July 2019: I must confess that I didn’t know the scent of roses on the plant… I had the luck to find several rows of rose bushes when I visited Bogotá and could smell the freshly opened red roses in their natural state. This Lyric is a perfect recreation of that scent, it smells crystal clear and natural, fresh and soft, like the caress of a petal, but with all the presence a rose imposes. Beautiful. I’ll be happy with my treasure the day I can get a 100 ml bottle – no, 200! No! 1000 ml!! Hahaha meanwhile, I’ll continue cherishing my 3 ml sample.
I like it very much; I’ve tried other rose aromas and they seem heavier and harder to wear to me. I don’t like citrus, but here the lime gives that freshness, resulting in a delicious combination with the rose and incense. Performance is very good, it lasts 8-10 hours on me and is noticeable at a metre for quite some time. I wish Reflection had the same longevity and trail, it would be my favourite. As for whether it’s very feminine… I don’t know anymore. At first I had doubts, but I recognise that I find heavier rose scents like Noir or Rose d’Arabie more feminine. Now I’ve adopted this Lyric as very mine, I enjoy spraying a little before bed and on some Sunday mornings.
I like it a lot, I’ve tried other rose scents, but they seem much heavier and difficult to wear. I don’t like citrus much, but here the lime gives that freshness I’m referring to, resulting in a delicious combination with the rose and incense. Very good performance, it lasts me 8 to 10 hours and is felt at a metre away for quite some time; I wish Reflection had the same longevity and trail, it would be my favourite without a doubt. As for whether it’s very feminine… well, I don’t know anymore, at first I had my doubts, although I must admit that I find the heavy rose scents I referred to at the beginning of the review more feminine, of the style Noir de Noir or Rose d’Arabie. Now I’ve adopted this Lyric as a very personal scent, which I enjoy especially by putting a little bit on before going to sleep and some Sunday mornings.
Just say wow, what a lovely scent, what delicacy in its composition, it really blew my mind. Its opening is a very synthesised rose (but very well achieved) with the smoky citrus mix that gives it an almost celestial combo. I can only say positive things about this fragrance. Its trail and projection are very good, potent, lasts almost intact for a couple of hours, then gradually fades until staying only on the skin in 7 to 8 hours, which is very good performance, considering the notes and composition of this perfume. To finish, just say that despite being almost an angelic drop fallen from the aromatic Olympus, it should be tested before buying blindly, as its marked floral accord may not please men who feel uncomfortable using this type of perfumes. Scent 9.5/10 Longevity 8/10 Projection 8/10 Trail 9/10 Cheers and I recommend it.

Lyric Man is a supremely fresh rose with green tones and bergamot, very natural at first. Over time the rose stays linear, but those green touches transform into musky and talc-like notes. Totally unisex, ideal for a spring day or early autumn. I found it very discreet in projection and longevity. Apparently there are differences between versions, as I don’t feel oriental or incense notes that stand out, perhaps something very faint in the dry-down. It’s a pretty scent, but I’d like it to have more presence.
Lyric Man is that luminous, aquatic rose, with many green and floral nuances that make it dense and anything but volatile, as one might expect. I agree with JacobChile: when dry, it has slightly talc-like and musky tones, giving it a clean and versatile character. However, it’s not the type of rose I like (I prefer darker or slightly sweet ones); I think it’s the galbanum or angelica’s fault, leading me to a green nuance that doesn’t suit me, without denying it’s an original and beautiful perfume. I see it as super unisex and good for breaking stereotypes, with excellent performance for almost all year thanks to its freshness and density. Personally, I wouldn’t own it and would opt for other Amouage or rose perfumes like Rose Noir by Gallagher, but all is subjective. Note: 8/10 for composition, 6/10 for my tastes.

An office perfume, nothing invasive. I understand the negatives, as the rose and musk predominate, feminine components, but it smells very natural. I do like it; although I bought it on discount, I wouldn’t pay the normal price.
Finally tried it. Natural aroma, soft, low projection and medium longevity. It seems more feminine to me because of that clean green rose with woody and citrus undertones. I prefer spicy and rough roses like Atomic Rose or Akester from PDM. Could I wear it? Perhaps, but if someone gifted it to me hehe, because the price is very high.
At first, it impacted me greatly, smelling of roses of tremendous refinement, honestly unisex despite being masculine. But as it dried, it changed my opinion: it left a shampoo-like scent that didn’t convince me. It’s a personal opinion, judge for yourselves. What is clear is that, as with Amouage, the quality is there. It’s romantic for revolving around the rose. I reiterate that the dry-down is soapy and that doesn’t convince me for this house. The performance is good, ideal for all seasons as it doesn’t overwhelm. It’s an oriental with more freshness than usual. For the scent and price, better for special occasions.
LYRIC MAN 🌹 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Have you ever been in a Rose garden? Well, here I show you a world-class Rose perfume, and one of my favourite rose fragrances for all time. This composition symbolises kindness, gratitude, and Joy. It starts with a Voluptuous and Vibrant Rose thanks to the green lime and bergamot that accompany it in the opening, while the Rose stays in the foreground being bright; the musk comes to wrap the composition to leave a soft, powdery rose scent. As time passes, the Rose doesn’t stop being the protagonist, but the incense along with the ginger give it a spicy touch underneath, making it more sexy, bold and playful. Undoubtedly it’s one of the most romantic fragrances to be found in the masculine terrain, and one of Amouage’s best offerings, being this fragrance somewhat underrated. Its longevity is Phenomenal, typical of Amouage, about 8-10 hours without any problem; its trail is very personal, I expected it to be so since it’s a romantic and intimate perfume, and its performance is a marvel in every sense.
Lyric Man is a world-class rose, my favourite for all time. It symbolises kindness, gratitude and joy. It opens with a voluptuous rose accompanied by green lime and bergamot, bright in the foreground. The musk wraps everything in a soft, powdery scent. Over time, incense and ginger add a spicy touch beneath the rose, making it sexier, bolder and more playful. It’s one of the best romantic masculine fragrances from Amouage, something undervalued. The longevity is phenomenal, a typical 8-10 hours for the house. The trail is personal and intimate, and the performance is marvellous.
A truly special scent: clean, soapy, like luxury detergent. The rose is the protagonist, but different from any other you’ve ever heard. It’s a green rose, very green and fresh, smelling of a rose garden wet with dew turned into soap. Highly recommended; in spring it will be a spectacle.
I’ve been wearing the sample for days and it’s my fragrance of the moment. Smelling Lyric Man makes me think of a gentleman from another time, impeccable and ready for a romantic walk or a theatre date. It opens with citrus and woods, buying fresh roses and heading off to find his love. When she opens the door, she smells of wet flowers, clean laundry, and that citrus-woody scent; she closes her eyes, smiles, and keeps the memory forever. It starts very citrusy, green and spiced, with ginger and nutmeg marking the freshness. Then the clean green rose emerges, giving way to a crisp aroma where creamy vanilla appears alongside sandalwood and musk, rounding off the cleanliness. I sense a touch of fine incense that fits perfectly. I’d love to smell it on a man, but it doesn’t clash at all on me. Thanks @Mithrandir for the ml of this jewel.
