Lyric Woman (2008)
by Amouage

I really did not feel anything special for the Amouage EDP range, until I saw the deep red glass of the Lyric Woman bottle...instinctively I pulled the cap off and smelled it...and was transported through time. This is what I want 1001 Arabian Nights to smell like, red roses, and saffron and oud (?) and incense. Lush and plush and creamy dark rose. As perfect as a perfume can get.

Amouage Lyric is a masterpiece! It is simply stunning. I previously have not been overly keen on rose based fragrances (having said that Ormonde Jayne's Ta'if is also wonderful) but this is something else. The initial blast is floral and spicy, but as it dries down it becomes richly creamy and musky. Not only that it just lasts and lasts.....It makes me feel very womanly, beautiful and classy. HOWEVER, I have just tried Lyric Man and that is also exquisite. This could easily be worn by a woman and in fact I need a bottle. This is even more spicy and musky than the womans but retains that feminine rose. I am going to use this as an evening scent - it is so very sexy and deeply intense and enticing. I adore the Amouage range, in particular Ubar and Gold, and I thought that nothing could compete with these, but Lyric is another triumph and I'm hooked. GORGEOUS.......

I highly recommend this to anyone that doesn't like your typical floral rose but enjoys woody musks...it's a nice mixture of both.

Starts out slightly spicy. I can detect the ginger and saffron in the top notes. After an hour or so a beautiful rose scent develops, but not your typical young, sweet light rosiness...this is a mature, robust, musky, dark rose. The jasmine and ylang-ylang provide a subtle bouquet I didn't expect. The woody and musky notes of vetiver, patchouli, and tonka become more prevalent as time goes on.

GREAT staying power - I put this on at 7:30 last night and can still smell it!! (It's 10:15 in the morning here...) After trying Amouage Gold, I didn't think I would like Lyric. I was very, very wrong. I'm definitely going to add this to my collection. (Beautiful bottle, too!)

Lyric is an Amouage I was tempted to buy, after discarding Gold and Dia and doubting about Ciel.
It is an interesting scent, because it combines green, light, florals with sweet notes and an oriental heavy undertone, hence it has a little bit of warmth, which "Ciel" lacks. Yet, I decided not to buy this fragrance, as it still has the sharp and pungent chemical sting that Gold and Dia have in common. It also does not last very long. Why spend so much money on something that does not fully satisfy?
I decided I would not even want it as a toilet refreshener.
