I’m totally in love with this scent. I don’t know how to put this into the words but this is absolutely gorgeous. I never believed that I can adore so much as spicy scent as this is: Cinnamon and Cardamom with Ginger are detectable not only in the opening but remain beautifully even in the dry down. That blend is intoxicating, very oriental like is the note of the rose. It’s not traditional fresh rose or sweet “jammy” rose, it’s dark and spicy and challenging to detect. If you don’t like roses, you can still like this. All notes here are somewhat unusual. Sandalwood is dominant note (on my skin) from the compex perfectly blended base and it’s as well spicy - everything in this scent is covered with spices. 🤎 My bottle is quite new batch and straight away after I got the bottle in my hands I was spraying this 10 times in the air and it took two months to start to perform well. I’m more than curious to try the original batch some day but on the other hand this is amazing and I don’t want to ruin my love for this. I think the main differences are the way how Oakmoss and Musk perform in the base. The scent doesn’t feel out dated but it’s delightfully different than all the scents released during last years. This is a big ♥️ Top: Bergamot, Spicy Cardamom, Cinnamon, Ginger Heart: Rose, Angelica, Jasmine, Ylang-ylang, Geranium, Orris Base: Oakmoss, Musk, Wood, Patchouli, Vetiver, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Frankincense Thank you for reading and if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes

AMOUAGE LYRIC WOMAN Old vs. new The in depth review of the new one written earlier! Meanwhile trying to find an old big bottle of Lyric Woman I luckily found a mini bottle of it. I was thinking that there is a huge difference between them but surprisingly the new one is not a catastrophe. They are just like two different concentrations. So yes, the new one is diluted but as I am an oversprayer I have to admit that I love that one as well. An old one is oilier and there is a lot of pure Rose oil in it which I was expecting since this scent has been described as having a rich Rosy heart. The formula is more concentrated but I think that Lyric Limited Edition Perfume Extract is very close to the old one. Old one is rounder and more polished than the new one like always with extracts and the new one is spicier which is not a bad thing. When the scent evolves they come closer to each others. Like always with extracts an old ones stays closer to the skin while the new formula is projecting more. After 12 hours sleep there is barely nothing left of more concentrated one, just soft hints of base notes while the new one is still smelling the same yet not so strong. My conclusion: instead of paying crazy prices for an old bottle I’m happy with my new one. It didn’t move into the swap list. If I find an extract version some day I will buy it but not because I need it. I hope this comparison helps you to choose between them but whatever is your choice the scent is gorgeous for sure!
