‘Amyris Femme’ from Maison Francis Kurkdjian flares up like a hungry flame. The opening is fruity and fresh with notes of lemon blossom and orange. The two heart notes of amyris and iris form a highly interesting, self-contained arc of tension.
The fragrance develops somewhere between the extravagance of the sun and the vibration of the earth. Amyris oil, extracted from the bark of an evergreen tree that grows wild under the Jamaican sun, spreads its mild, sweet, woody, cedarwood-like fragrance. In the centre, amyris meets the graceful bouquet of Florentine iris. The noble iris note captivates with its sweet and flowery-fruity nuances. A fragrance journey from Jamaica to Florence.
The green aspects of grassy, earthy vetiver and the animalistic accord of musky ambergris complete ‘Amyris Femme’ in the base.
