By the editors · 2 min readCiel Pour Homme opens with a gentlemanly collision of lavender and rose, tempered by crisp bergamot—more boardroom than barbershop, with an unexpected lily-of-the-valley brightness that keeps it from settling into familiar territory. The floral backbone feels deliberate, almost baroque in its unapologetic richness.
As it warms, the composition turns increasingly opulent. Cinnamon and cardamom thread through a heart of jasmine and peach, creating a spiced sweetness that hovers between gourmand and oriental. The peach never dominates but lends a soft, powdery roundness that mellows the sharper spices.
The dry down is where Amouage's hand shows most clearly: sandalwood and incense anchor everything in a smoky, resinous haze, with vetiver and patchouli adding earthy weight. This is unabashedly old-school masculinity—ornate, aromatic, built for presence rather than subtlety. It belongs to a lineage of fragrances designed when men's scents could be as decorative and complex as their feminine counterparts.
