Love that you talk about longevity and versatility of the cologne. A 4 out of 5 is pretty impressive ! Very thorough review of this cologne and a lot of good advice. Keep them coming, ben.
I smelled this and Oud satin Mood Extrait side by side and its actually is very similar it’s more green less powdery but there is a vanilla in the base that’s deeply underrated. It’s almost like a mix of Oud Silk Mood and Oud Satin Mood. It’s truly an underrated scent.
Oh wow, that's an interesting comparison! Yes, good point! No wonder I love both OSMs. I've said it before, but there is something incredibly addicting to me about Lyric Man. It's an absolute stunner! Hope you are doing well, Ian!
I have a 1ml sample and it captivated my heart at first sniff!! I absolutely love it - I would say it's the most natural rose I've ever smelled, the closest to the natural flower... a bit more creamy perhaps, but I adore it! It's a certain buy whenever I'm able to find it in Argentina though....
Hi Carmina! I couldn't agree more! Natural and a bit more creamy. Just seeing your comment made me instantly go back to this scent of this scent. I love it! Are you from Argentina?
@@ThatCologneGuy yes i am! Actually this is the only amouage i've had the chance to try... I now have an opportunity to get a used one from a very trustable seller, but as he already sold lyric man (buaaaa), he's offered me opus 1, 3 or 5, or ciel, jubilation woman or ubar... I arrived at your channel while expanding on opus 5... I think i will lean towards that one, i really like and rely almost blindly on iris in most of its forms! I tried dior homme intense a few days back and it blew ny mind - or should i say nose? Hehehe (just a note of color: i got my hands on a decant of iris ukiyoé by hermes, it's iris as you never smelled it before! Impressive! Nothing quite like it! That is Ellena at his best, pure expressionism! Do give it a try if you ever get the chance) What would you say about chosing opus 5?
Hi Carmina! God I love taking a walk down memory lane with the Library Collection! If you like DHI and you know you like iris, then yes, Opus 5 is fantastic choice. I think it would smell positively wonderful on a woman. From your list, I also like Opus 1 as well, but only if you like tuberose. I actually don't care that much for the note, but the tuberose in 1 is just exquisite. I think I like 1 more on me, but 5 more on a woman. I have some time tonight, so I am going to check out Iris Ukiyoé...I don't know much about that one and I always enjoy reading up on new fragrances. What do you think of Terre d'Hermes? It grew on me....he is just an amazing perfumer. Sorry that Lyric Man is out of stock for you! I just adore that fragrance. (Te pregunté porque hablo español, también...muchos saludos a vos y te agradezco tu comentario).
@@ThatCologneGuy Uy me encanta Terre d'Hermes! Me gusta más el edt que el edp. Es uno de los perfumes que compartimos con mi pareja jajajaja Some months ago I got my hands on a little bottle of Iso E Super and I was sooo impressed to find out that Terre has quite an amount of Iso E... And yesterday I received Loewe 7 (the blue one) - and it was recognisable at once: another one with loads of Iso E... I still have to try it further but I think I like better the way they used iso e in Terre rather than the way they used it in Loewe 7... Should try it more, though. Now I'm intrigued to know Loewe 7 Anonimo as I love leathery scents... I'm not crazy about tubereuse eather... Its best expressions are, imho, orchid soleil by tom ford, twilly by hermes, organza by givenchy and maybe for her l'absolu by narciso rodriguez... al menos, de lo que he conocido... I'm waiting for the stock confirmation, I'll probably give Opus V a try...
Fijáte que creo que voy a comprarme una botella y te agradezco tu opinión sobre el EDT. ¿Qué habrá de diferencia? I heard Loewe 7 was amazing juice...I'll look up Organzy tonight...Givenchy is one of my favorite houses because they don't put anything bad out....
Not a fan of this one. It may not smell like a grandmother, but it definitely smells like an elderly woman. I just get a soft, frilly, women's handsoap smell on my skin. I much prefer Armani Prive Rose d'Arabie
@@ThatCologneGuy Unfortunately I havent smelled that one yet, but Ive heard alot about it. Im gonna try that one as soon as I can, because I do like and own Prada Luna Rossa.
I've swapped my bottle of imitation for lyric but it can not win my heart even if its a better scent then imitation. I think opus X is a far better rose scent. Still, lyric is good but maybe not my taste.
Hi Vincent! What did you think of Imitation? I haven't tried it. Opus X is indeed amazing - I really miss that one. Opus X vs. Lyric Man would be a soccer match for me, because soccer allows ties. :) Would be a tough choice for me.
@@ThatCologneGuyim happy with lyric. Imitation has a strong gasoline smell to it. Its supossed to have a floral to it but to my nose its just gasoline.just not a pleasant smell. Opus x has won me over when it comes to rosescents. Its green and harsh and i like it. Amouage should smell strong and fill up a room. Opus x does this. Lyric hmm maybe not

I will have to try the Armani! Do you like Prada Amber pour homme?
@@ThatCologneGuy Unfortunately I havent smelled that one yet, but Ive heard alot about it. Im gonna try that one as soon as I can, because I do like and own Prada Luna Rossa.
@@silentsir2446 Sample it...might be too close to these types of soapy ones that you don't like.
@@ThatCologneGuy will do...already kinda had an itch to try it, so thanks for the recommendation.

Yeah, I hope it hasn't been weakened through reformulations...so annoying.
