“Incense, cardamom, and labdanum over bitter orange — Amouage's elegant 2002 masculine, soft sillage.”
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.
