Amouage Lyric Woman is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Daniel Maurel. Lyric Woman opens with Bergamot, Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Angelica, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Amouage's Lyric Woman carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Lyric Woman is a divisive beast, a deep, complex rose for the seasoned palate. Some find it a gothic masterpiece, others a dusty relic, but everyone agrees it's a bold statement.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its rich, strong character and often intense projection make it less suitable for office wear, but perfect for date nights and formal events where its luxurious feel can shine. While some enjoy it casually, its depth leans more towards special occasions.

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
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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 Woman is a grand, theatrical rose, taking centre stage with an opening burst of warm, spiced ginger and cardamom. This quickly mellows into a velvety, dark red rose heart, supported by powdery orris and the subtly sweet whisper of ylang-ylang. The base offers a rich, lingering embrace of frankincense and creamy sandalwood, with hints of musk and patchouli adding depth and a touch of the enigmatic.
