Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lyric Man Eau de Parfum

Lyric Man by Amouage is a beautifully composed rose scent for men, though its clean, soapy character can divide opinion. Some find it a refined masterpiece, while others dismiss it as an old-fashioned floral soap. Modern batches might be a bit weaker.

Our Verdict - Reporter for Men Eau de Toilette

A divisive scent with a split personality: some find it a fresh, natural-smelling daily driver; others a throwback powerhouse. It's affordable, but be warned, formulations vary wildly.
