The story behind the bottle.
Dia Man by Amouage was launched in 2002 and crafted by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, blending traditional Middle Eastern ingredients with modern sensibilities. The composition opens with incense and cardamom, creating a warm and aromatic entrance that gives way to the floral heart of peony and ylang-ylang, softened by orris root and plum. The base notes of labdanum, vetiver, leather, amber, and patchouli bring earthy warmth and depth, anchoring the fragrance with a rich, woody character.
Apply Dia Man sparingly — it blooms gradually over time. The incense and cardamom top notes are fleeting but vibrant, so let them settle into the floral heart before venturing out. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than in wide sillage.

Bertrand Duchaufour
The world traveler's noseBertrand Duchaufour is a perfumer-adventurer whose creations read like a travelogue of the senses. Trained at Roure (now Givaudan), his work draws deeply from his journeys through Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and sub-Saharan Africa.
“The art of perfumery must be at the same time, innovative, harmonius, and “sent bon”.”
