Amouage Lyric

Mostly the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on lime and bergamot, moves through rose, angelica and ginger, and settles on musk, incense and pine tree.

• lime: sharp green citrus, more bitter and less sweet than lemon
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
