IMO it is as if Reflection Man, Darley, and Dia Man danced the Beloved night away----voila, Beloved Man! Recently I tried it again with a lighter spray and allowed it to settle; 30 mins later I was surprised.

The faintest trace of smokiness from the elemi is diffused throughout, adding a chiaroscuro effect of darkness to dapple the yellow warmth. Beloved opens with a crisp, cool, chilled lemon aroma infused with elemi smokiness, as well as what also smells like actual frankincense. I haven't spent enough time with it for a breakdown of the notes but you need to try this if you love Ciel or Lyric.This entry was posted in Amouage, Orientals, Perfume Review, Woody Fragrances and tagged Amouage, Amouage Beloved Man, Beloved for Men, Beloved Man, Bernard Ellena, Elemi, perfume review by Kafkaesque. By no means is incense a star player in this fragrance like it is in many of the other Amouage scents in its time, but it is most certainly there. In the opening there's a good amount of grapefruit, cardamom and elemi, and it rounds out to a pretty rich smooth woody scent.

After two hours the florals and woods come in to the forefront with the warm sweetness still there which has strangely changed in to a buttery soapiness. You could wear it to the office, but it also feels like an elegant, rich take on citruses that is suited for the summer.Imagine walking through a beautiful garden on a sunkissed autumn evening wearing your wayfarers and a clean white shirt! The fruity notes combined with the cardamom and florals give me an impression of something a bit bubblegummy, but on an oriental base.

What was interesting in reading the largely critical reviews on Fragrantica was seeing the different ways Beloved can manifest itself on one’s skin. As it reaches the late dry-down, Beloved Man exudes a relatively smooth saffron-laced spicy cedar vibe as the cumin and iris finally exit, replaced by a relatively clean musk and patchouli tandem. You might argue that it is an Amouage, but the problem is that Beloved seems like an anti-Amouage to a large extent. Questo è un profumo misterioso, che non assomiglia a nessun altro e nello stesso momento richiama i ricordi di tanti profumi.Warm cedar wood, guaiac, leather, patchouli, musk and vetiver are richly woven in the intricate and alluring base. All the same, hardcore fans of Héritage won't even wear newer batches of it let alone anything else, while younger Amouage fans used to Interlude Man (2012) and the like just think this smells "old", adding up to Beloved Man being dead on arrival for everyone but collectors. Amouage Beloved Man is one of the less-touted fragrances amidst some of the giants that the house boasts, but I'd nonetheless heard enough good things about it from respected reviewers (and the overall consensus on it seems mostly positive) that I wanted to try it out, as I really like to the try the full spectrum of fragrances from respected houses (i. When compared to last year’s Beloved Woman – a far-reaching chypre composed by Bernard Ellena – it feels like something of a let-down. Amouage Beloved Man is classified as woody oriental and was created by Alexandra Carlin under a guidance of Christopher Chong.

Beloved Man has that little bit of "something" which pegs it as a Middle East adaptation of a Western style, so it is still a shade more "exotic" to the domesticated nose than all the rest, but is still a formidable if late entry into this style.Cedar wood and musk in the base highlighting the fruit with touches of saffron, spice and a little floral quality. It is very powdery and woody, it smells like if Versace the dreamer had a love child with lalique encre noir l'xtreme.
