Amyris Femme
Amyris Femme by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2012 in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot and orange blossom, moves into amyris, iris and jasmine and dries down to vanilla, tonka bean and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Heart
- Amyris Soft, sweet, sandalwood-adjacent. Often stands in for the real thing.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
