Maison Francis Kurkdjian

Amyris Homme

Amyris Homme by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2012 in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot and rosemary, moves into iris and sage and dries down to amber, tonka bean and cedarwood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
• Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.

Heart

• Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
• Sage Dry, herbal and slightly bitter. Adds a grown-up, aromatic edge.

Dry-down

• Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
• Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
