Amouage Lyric Man is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Daniel Visentin. Lyric Man opens with Bergamot and Lime, settles into a heart of Angelica, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Pine, and Vanilla. Amouage's Lyric Man carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
