  Lyric was the first fragrance from this house I encountered and it has been a very rewarding experience, surpassing my expectations. It is such an Arab, spiced, mystical, warm, elegant and seductive perfume, with tremendous sensuality. For me, it is very close to the style of the legendary Black Orchid by Tom Ford, but in Lyric there is no orchid; it is a beautiful, highly aromatic rose, creamy, bathed in cinnamon tea, frankincense smoke and sandalwood shavings. It is a delicious bomb of roses and spices, but more feminine and less aggressive than Black Orchid, with a subtlety that at times releases bursts of intensity. It opens with a very intense cinnamon, a bit of bergamot and a slice of ginger. After about 10 minutes, the rose makes its triumphant entrance, followed a couple of steps later by geranium and then ylang-ylang. It is then that the warmth increases; the cinnamon blends perfectly with the rose and geranium, and very soon this combination starts to be smoked by an incense so fine it is not ecclesiastical. The powerful, elegant sandalwood, the earthy patchouli, the musk, and even at the end, a hint of vanilla is noticeable. What beauty. It is incredible how a perfume can be at the same time wild, soft, creamy, spicy, floral, strong, subtle, sensual and feminine, all in that ups and downs like a rollercoaster that provides the experience of wearing it. Ideal for special occasions, cold days, and although you are dressed, with red lips and long, well-kept hair. Longevity on my skin is about 8 hours, powerful projection for the first two hours and then moderate. My rating: a 10, this perfume is worth the price.

  I think this perfume deserves more testing. Sometimes I love it, other times not so much, but it always stands out for the quality of its ingredients. It’s a rose that doesn’t hit you all at once, but has many nuances. It’s not one of those perfumes where the scent of rose, its leaves and thorns floods you; instead, it’s a spiced rose that shows its splendour in the middle stage, although all its stages have special nuances. It starts a bit confused and strange, giving way to a very pleasant bergamot with cinnamon, which evolves into a very elegant and at the same time slightly faecal spicy aroma. Then the rose arrives, dirty at first, but later very creamy, joining the spices. These hits last quite a while; without being a fragrance that projects too much, it has good longevity. I’ll certainly try it in different conditions, as its facets and nuances are marked and its personality will change depending on the environment.

  It’s like travelling to a spice market in the East. At first, it’s not easy to grasp; it’s complex and the incense dominates all its facets. It begins with a spiced opening, notes of cardamom and a touch of cinnamon. Then the flowers come through, a well-orchestrated symphony: it smells of dark, dry rose, the kind you keep in a book, but which was once red and very aromatic. It closes with sweet woods, but not that cheap sweetness; rather, an elegant and mysterious one mixed with earthy patchouli. To wear this, you must love it from start to finish, feel secure, and fear no one’s opinion. It’s a winter and evening perfume, ideal for a dinner with a partner or friends, in a semi-outdoor spot by a fire with a good red wine.

  A fragrance that invites you on a journey through a spice market in the East. It is not an easy perfume to understand at first; for me, it is complex, where the incense predominates; you can perceive this aroma in all its phases. It has a spiced opening, cardamom is noticeable with a touch of cinnamon. Then come the floral notes, like a perfectly orchestrated symphony. My nose manages to identify the rose, a dark rose, a dry rose that was kept inside a book, but which when it was alive was deep red and very aromatic. In its final phase, woods with a sweet touch, but don’t look for the typical sweetness; here we have an elegant and mysterious sweetness, fused with the woods and an earthy patchouli. To wear this aroma, you must love it from start to finish, you must feel secure and go without fear of what others say. For me, it is a winter and nocturnal perfume, ideal for a dinner with a partner or friends, in a semi-outdoor place, by a fire accompanied by a good red wine.

  For those who know Lipstick Rose by Frédéric Malle, this is its Arab version. Just like in Malle’s fragrance, we find a combination of rose and violet or iris root to recreate the carmine aroma. The main difference is that Lipstick Rose is too simple and a bit dull; while it smells phenomenal, it lacks any evolution. In Lyric Woman, that carmine aroma is apparent in all stages, but behind it other notes take prominence to add depth. In the initial phase, there is a noticeable spicy-spiced touch, mainly from the cinnamon. Slowly, the carmine aroma opens up. It must be said that the rose is not noticeable as such and cannot be distinguished from the rest of the floral notes; they form part of a very fleshy bouquet. The ylang-ylang is definitely felt above the rest of the flowers and is treated like in Perris’s Ylang-Ylang. In the base, you can feel the patchouli supporting it along with the incense. This incense is nothing overwhelming and is not felt too much. It is not a fragrance with great projection; it is more intimate and enigmatic. Longevity is correct.

  If you know Frederic Malle’s Lipstick Rose, this is its Arab version. Just like the original, it blends rose and violet or iris root to mimic the scent of carmine. The difference is that Malle’s is very simple and a bit boring; it smells great but doesn’t evolve. Here, in Lyric Woman, that carmine scent is present in all stages, but behind it lie other notes that add depth. At first, it smells spicy and spiced, mainly due to the cinnamon, and gradually the carmine opens up. The rose isn’t noticeable as such; it blends into a bouquet of very fleshy flowers. The ylang-ylang is definitely more noticeable than the rest, treated just like in Perris’s Ylang-Ylang. In the base, you can feel the patchouli holding it together with the incense, which is neither invasive nor overly present. It doesn’t have much projection; it’s more intimate and enigmatic. The longevity is correct.
