Maison Francis Kurkdjian Amyris Homme Extrait was launched in 2019, created by Francis Kurkdjian. In our research on the original, we found so much love for the extrait, we had to grab it! Notes of mandarin, amyris, iris, cinnamon, tonka bean, saffron, vanilla. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Amyris Homme Extrait is the extrait version. From the brand - "A bright fragrance with natural urban elegance, Amyris reflects the constant energy of Paris. With its woody amber extrait de parfum for men, Francis Kurkdjian infuses new energy on the amyris and iris pairing. Soft yet spicy vanilla adds a rich fullness to the woody amber aura left in the wake of this fragrance. Amyris extrait de parfum for men will put your senses in a whirlwind for elegant play in the flurry of activities."
Fragrantica - "It's super airy and dreamy and just fits almost every occasion except for maybe like a dinner party setting, or just anything at night really."
Fragrantica - "But then I tried the Extrait and let me tell you - it's a different perfume. The vanilla on the top gives it a new twist and it takes at least 2-3 hours to start smelling similar to the EDT. So I think that rather than going for one or the other, a good option would be to spray the EDT in the morning, and go for the Extrait by 6PM to last you for the entire evening. I would not call it a masculine scent, at least not in the way of being cool, rough or animalic. But with the right outfit you can definitely wear this without compromising on your masculine energy. A straight 10/10 for me."
Fragrantica - "This is a masterpiece. Yes, I said it. This is a masterclass in perfumery. Everything was made to perfection! I thought about some of my favourite notes and which ones I would use if I were to make my first fragrance, and it ended up being Amyris Homme Extrait. At this point, you already know I’ll rate it 10/10 in all areas! I love this stuff!"
Fragantica - "this is perfect. It's insanely versatile, you can easily wear this all year round and for absolutely any occasion, it works perfectly for casual occasions but also for formal events. The scent itself is this addictive and masterfully blended resinous, slightly citrus (from the mandarin orange) and floral vanilla that's captivating from the first time you smell it. I don't think the scent changes much, if at all, from application to dry down but I don't mind this at all as it isn't a linear scent. A 2.4 oz bottle of Amyris Homme Extrait is $385 on MFK's website and it's an investment I'm definitely going to make. Unlike other fragrances I have on my shortlist, Amyris Homme Extrait is by far the most versatile one, the longest lasting (more on this later), my most complimented and potentially also the best smelling one."
Fragrantica - "I just want to say, this is my most complimented fragrance i ever wore. Almost EVERY TIME i was wearing it, i ve been complimented by strangers. There is something special about amyris which makes people curious when smell that trail."
Fragrantica - "With around 400 bottles of perfume, and 7 of them from MFK, am finishing my second bottle of Amyris extrait, it’s so easy to ware and so addictive… it’s definitely a perfume for life and the best of the MFK line. Amyris for women is also stunning"
Fragrantica - "The best way to describe this scent is just pure luxury. Opting for the Parfum concentration shows its value when you can still smell this scent on your skin 24 hours later even after a shower. The opening is one of the most beautiful scents I've ever had the pleasure of smelling, and the dry down is even better with that warm powdery iris and vanilla combining to make a perfectly sweet scent, without being sickly or cloying. The cinnamon undertone is just so beautiful and well done, as it doesn't punch you in the face like some other fragrances (i.e. spicebomb extreme.) Now the best thing about this fragrance is it gets your attention without begging for it. It's a wonderful scent to smell all day, and it's subtle enough that it won't annoy anyone, but if someone smells you, you're very likely to get a high praise compliment. It's also so versatile, as you can seriously wear it during any season. I think this is one of the best from the house, and something I've found is layering it on top of grand soir can make it have that extra "winter pop" for anyone worried about that. Truly a masterpiece, 10/10 fragrance."
