Amouage Dia Man

2002Bertrand Duchaufour

“Quiet incense and a pressed linen shirt. The grown man’s daytime signature that never raises its voice.”

Dia Man

woody

amber

floral

Bertrand Duchaufour's 2002 companion to Dia Woman pairs an incense-cardamom opening with an orris heart and a vetiver-led base. Woody and amber accords lead, with floral, warm-spicy and earthy facets alongside a fresh lift. The incense stays transparent rather than churchy, and the orris adds a soft, powdery floral quality to the woods. Wears strongest in spring and fall, leaning daytime.
