Mandarin, rosemary and pale woods
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Amyris Homme is an Eau de Toilette that the brand describes as its masculine reading of an eye-catching duo: amyris wood and iris. It is fresh and woody together, with aromatic mandarin and rosemary. A clean, light profile like this is easy to like on a first spray, so a decant shows how it holds up over several days.

How it unfolds
-
Amyris and iris at the centre
The brand builds on the pairing of amyris, a pale, dry wood, and iris, which is cool and a little powdery. Together they give a clean, upright frame, and everything else leans on it. You will notice this structure more than any single note.
-
Mandarin, rosemary and saffron
Mandarin gives a sweet, juicy brightness, rosemary an herbal, almost camphor-like freshness, and saffron a dry, warm thread. The overall feel is open-air and clear instead of sugary, which is easy to judge on skin within the first stretch of the day.
-
Tonka and cedar underneath
The brand says tonka bean absolute warms everything, which is why the freshness never turns cold. Cedar props up the woody part with a dry, pencil-shaving note. The brand calls the result luminous and lively, and the sample shows you if it feels that way on you.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
Wear the decant for a normal day, from the morning into the afternoon, since this is a light Eau de Toilette that suits work and warm weather. Reapply when you think it has faded, which tells you how it behaves for you. Also try it on a mild spring or autumn day, when a touch of warmth behind the freshness matters.
Who it is for
The brand presents this as a men's fragrance. It is a sound choice for anyone who prefers a dry, green-woody scent to a sweet one. If light citrus perfumes usually feel too fleeting, amyris and iris add a backbone, and tonka softens it so it does not turn stern.
Why try Maison Francis Kurkdjian Amyris Homme as a sample first
Fresh woody scents seem alike in a description, but the balance between rosemary, iris and amyris changes a lot from skin to skin. FragranceGems fills the 10 ml decant from the original bottle, and we label it. It is not a brand sample, and the house is not involved.

Frequently asked
Is Amyris Homme fresh or woody?
Both. The brand calls it simultaneously fresh and woody: mandarin and rosemary on the fresh side, amyris, iris and cedar on the woody side, with tonka bean absolute adding warmth.
What is amyris?
Amyris is a pale, dry wood used in perfumery. Here it is one of the two lead notes, paired with iris, which brings a cool, slightly powdery elegance.
Is the decant filled from the original bottle?
Yes. We fill a glass spray vial with 10 ml from the original bottle and label it. It is a decant, not a Maison Francis Kurkdjian sample, and we are not affiliated with the brand.
When should I wear it?
It suits warm days, mornings at work and the milder seasons, when freshness needs some warmth behind it. A sample lets you test it in all of those situations.

About Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Maison Francis Kurkdjian, co-founded in Paris in 2009 by the perfumer Francis Kurkdjian and Marc Chaya, treats perfume as a wardrobe: a set of scents you choose from according to mood. Several exist in two concentrations, and one pair, Gentle Fluidity, uses the same six ingredients for two different results. A wardrobe is something you try on, and with 10 ml decants you can compare an eau de parfum with its extrait on your own skin before deciding.

- Francis Kurkdjian is the perfumer of all ten perfumes we decant
- The collection is meant as a fragrance wardrobe, chosen by mood

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
