The story behind the bottle.
Amyris Homme by Maison Francis Kurkdjian was launched in 2012, and it captures the essence of fresh aromatic woods with a subtle sweetness. The fragrance opens with Sicilian mandarin and rosemary, creating an immediate freshness that is both crisp and invigorating. This bright opening leads into the heart of amyris and iris, which add depth and complexity to the composition. The base notes of milk chocolate, coconut, coffee, tonka bean, and agarwood (oud) provide a warm and enveloping finish, balancing the overall scent with its rich and balsamic undertones.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for optimal longevity. The fragrance's top notes are bright and fleeting, so the heart and base notes will carry the scent throughout the day. It pairs well with a light jacket in cooler weather but can be worn year-round as it balances freshness and warmth.
