The Story

Portrayal Man by Amouage is a Woody Aromatic fragrance launched in 2019 and crafted by Pierre Negrin. It captures the essence of bohemian culture from the Roaring '20s and grooving '80s, embodying a rebellious spirit that defies societal norms. The composition opens with vibrant Violet Leaves, leading to Vetiver's earthy heart before settling into a base of Cade oil that exudes an olfactive depiction of unconventional freedom. This fragrance is a reflection of the bold individuals who push beyond the limits of mass culture and embrace their distinctive authenticity.

Application Tips

One to two sprays on pulse points will allow the aromatic top notes to blend seamlessly with the woody base. This fragrance is best enjoyed during cooler evenings or indoor settings, as it offers a more intimate experience close to skin rather than projecting strongly into a room.

Pierre Negrin portrait

The son of scent traders, Pierre Negrin learned his art in a laboratory rather than a school. His years spent in Mexico and New York influenced his work for Amouage, which tends to be cosmopolitan and pragmatic, capturing the complexity of the densest balsams and absolutes.
