Our verdict on Lyric Man: Acquired

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.

About

Lyric Man opens with a bright, zesty burst of lime and bergamot, quickly ushering in a sophisticated, clean rose heart. This isn't a dark or jammy rose, but rather a fresh, almost soapy floral, balanced by subtle hints of ginger and nutmeg. As it settles, a soft, powdery musk emerges, underpinned by a delicate whisper of pine, sandalwood, and a touch of vanilla, maintaining its elegant, fresh allure.
