Francis, show me your soft side
Oh, Francis. How many times have I told you to stay away from me with those Sillage monsters. It's too sweet, too strong, too much. Almost always. Be it APOM Homme, whose orange blossom smells beguilingly, but puts you on the run faster than you can think. Or be it Gentle Fluidity Gold. An abstract combination of juniper and vanilla, where I seriously thought "Is this art or can this go away?"

I must admit, I like your success scent Le Male. If it's dosed right, mind you. Unfortunately, unfortunately, most carriers out there with him may not succeed. Not until today
Amyris was the first work that bore your signature, which taught me better. Of course, Amyris also has a powerful aura. Yet, even when overdosed, he never gets on my nerves. On the contrary. Amyris always seems finely balanced by his combination of fresh and sweet notes, which I like very much.

Yeah, I already liked the EdT. But the Extrait adds another one here. Francis, if there's a softer side to you, this is it. Despite the strong sillage, we have an almost tender scent here, with citrus, floral and woody notes balancing each other. None of the ingredients roar loudly "here", but they seem to play music together, and that as if perfectly rehearsed. Even the saffron, which I actually never really like, is so finely woven here that it can't annoy me at all. The tonka bean, which I sometimes find pompous, especially when I'm booming, smells delicious here. In my comment to the EdT I already wrote about the effect of Amyris on the soul. And in the current time such a soul-scent does simply incredibly well. Amyris Extrait refreshes and calms at the same time. Yes, this scent makes you happy.

My lover wore it recently on a beautiful summer's day. Although I instructed him that we were dealing with an extra, he naturally had to wear it lavishly. I liked it anyway. With every breath of wind I could catch a breeze of the delicious scent. And even in the evening hours the elixir had hardly lost anything.

It is admittedly a bit slippery. I have to admit that. My one tiny little criticism. If you want rough edges, Amyris isn't exactly the place for them. But on some days you don't need any nooks and crannies, you just need a simple, delicate, lovable companion, which should do nothing else but lift the mood. And Amyris does that with bravura.

Yes, Francis. I really like that soft side. It's a pity you don't show it often.

It's worth it, it's not worth it, it's worth it, it's not worth it...
I already wrote a text for the usual and above all cheaper "Amyris Homme", which I classified as solid to good, but which somehow lacked that special something. Now there is this fragrance from the house of Kurkdjian as an extra. Higher perfume oil content, significantly higher price - is it worth it ?

I answer this question in advance and say: "YES!", and first try to explain for whom this fragrance is not worthwhile.

It is not worthwhile for those who already have big problems with the usual "Amyris Homme". Now some will say that this is actually logical and obvious. However, it is not uncommon for Extrait variants of existing fragrances to show great differences and to attract those noses that were not enthusiastic about the original fragrance version.
In the case of the Extrait, there are certainly differences that can be perceived, which I will come to in a moment. However, those differences will be too marginal for the noses, which, in principle, do not know what to do with eau de toilette.

For whom could the extract be worthwhile?

It might be worthwhile for those who like the cheaper "Amyris Homme", but still see potential for improvement in it.
The eau de toilette gains a sweet creaminess from the tonka bean. This creamy tonka sweetness takes a dominant role and subordinates the refreshing mandarin orange and the woody amyris quite strongly, thus depriving the eau de toilette of a little freshness.
If you don't like the creamy Tonka sweetness so much or would like to experience it a little more reservedly, you should try the Extrait. It is clearly woody due to the stronger addition of Amyris. The tangerine, which at the beginning provides for a proper cooling, which I have only heard so far in "Aqva Amara", is mixed with the sandalwood-like Amyris plant and makes the whole composition appear much more acidic and thus much more angular than the Eau de Toilette. The iris, which in the local fragrance pyramid is much too small in my eyes, provides the powdery background, which I like to smell in fresh fragrances. At the end there is still a little bit of Tonka sweetness, but not to the same extent as we know it from the original version.

The extract is thus - and this is untypical for such a fragrance - not the rounded, smoother, warmer or even deeper version of an already existing fragrance creation, but in this case the exact opposite.
The Extrait does away with the creamy Tonka sweetness and provides for woody-powdery, refreshing nooks and crannies by no longer attributing the Tonka bean such a prominent role. Instead, the mandarin, amyris and iris take over the sceptre here. But this transformation also needs to be paid for. It is true that the prices that a Francis Kurkdjian charges for his creations are in many cases still within reasonable limits, if one takes into account that one is in the niche segment. Nevertheless there is a difference of about 70,- Euro. If you are completely satisfied with your current "Amyris Homme", the eau de toilette, I think you can save the extra. If you are happy with DNA per se, but think that there is still room for improvement here and there, that there are a few more rough edges here and there, you could find your "Holy Grail" here, if you are prepared to accept the additional cost mentioned above

More noble & heavier version
Actually the Extrait versions of MFK are not so exciting for me. This brand stands for quality and the performances of the normal EdPs are really very good anyway. For the Extrait versions you pay a lot more. About 100 Euro more. If it's worth it, everybody has to decide for himself. This Extrait version is not available from every MFK fragrance, but a total of 9 of these. The most famous one is probably the Baccarat Rouge, which is already sinfully expensive. In addition, the extracts from the Oud series are also quite well known.

I own the original Amyris Homme, which I liked very much right away. He simply has an uncomplicated but also seductive-sweet nature, which never overtaxes and also fits wonderfully into everyday life. Also the freshness is never too short and is perceptible over the whole process. A great fragrance, which is of high quality. In any case a true uniquer crowdpleaser that always goes. For me the performance is also so good that it needs rather less of an extra.
Actually, I would not have tested it, but an order of a MFK fragrance contained a miniature of 5ml. Very nice and a nice gift which one gladly takes along. Especially at this price. The Amyris Homme you get in the offer at 70ml for about 120 Euro, the Extrait him about twice the price Is it worth it? Not for me. However: If you are looking for a heavier fragrance for special occasions, you might find it here. Of course the performance is worthy of an Extrait, here the DNA was also made a lot heavier. While the EdP is still very fresh and sweet, this one is not quite so reserved. But the basic DNA is already the same and a very clear scent twin. The Extrait version is much nobler and more for special occasions or cooler days. The EdP is much more versatile and uncomplicated.
I have already written everything about the fragrance itself at Amyris Homme. This Amyris note is special and will find few enemies. It's a great note that you rarely encounter. In addition there are fresh notes and creamy-sweet tonka. Great combo. As I said: Here more priority was given to heavy notes, but this does not kill. Perfect for mild temperatures.
The performance is of course better than the EdP, although I am already very satisfied with mine. Especially because of the freshness.

Not a buy for me. If you don't own or know either of them, you should test both. Nevertheless I recommend the Amyris Homme EdP, because you get a lot for your money and it is much fresher and versatile. But for the uncomfortable autumn this extra would be very well suited. Also suitable for ladies, because this DNA is simply good and unisex.

Fresh-sweet, elegant all-season fragrance
Every time a pleasure to unpack MFK fragrances, the whole presentation is already an experience.

This fragrance combines the best of all worlds: Citrus-fresh start, continuous, warm-soft tonka vanilla sweetness, powdery-woody by iris, and the special something by amyris and very subtle - and as I find ingeniously used - saffron.

In contrast to the EdT sweeter and softer, more balanced, but not so spicy-fresh and less "mainstream shower gel vibe". Better are also the excellent durability and good sillage.

Wearable in any season, in any weather. Rather do without the 5 bottles Boss Bottled or Le Male (good, conceptually comparable Immergeher, no question) and puts you this one to. The extremely long shelf life, economical dosage and noticeably noble composition make up for the surcharge.

--- Edit: 2022 ---

Short interim impression after a year: I'm still excited, despite now some other fragrance tests so far nothing comparable smelled. The here creates m.E. simply the perfect (!) Balance between spiciness, creamy sweetness and freshness as well as between mass suitability (in the positive sense) and exclusivity (the eponymous Amyris, super subtle saffron, overall slightly oriental appeal) and is thereby anlassungs- und Jahreszeitunabhängig theoretically consistently portable - he provokes, however, quickly smell blindness, so that a change is offered, provided that you wear fragrances mainly for themselves. But it undoubtedly has signature potential. Remains only to hope that MFK never stops this masterpiece, as has already happened with other classics...

Final boss
Allright Diggis, minor spoiler : My wife pushes hard for this scent. I would almost say it's her favorite scent on me. Not necessarily the scent that makes you weak at the knees and triggers boundless desire, but it rather stands for security, trust and attractiveness. I think this fragrance secretly reflects the image of the "perfect man" for my wife...true love baby...
But now we need to talk about this masterpiece!!!!
I had the Amyris EDT before and was really impressed, the freshness and sweetness in combination was a dream. I had no problem with the performance or the fragrance profile, but like a little junkie I was eager to top it all off... I wanted more depth, more charisma and a bigger kick just more more more more....
And the fact is: the extrait fulfilled my expectations 100 percent - it fulfilled me!
It is simple yet complex, transparent and apparently fleeting but still present and the bubble that surrounds me is long-lasting and beautiful. The extrait has a lot of volume and allows the individual accords to come into their own. Definitely an upgrade for me.

The fragrance starts citrusy with a wonderful, sweet mandarin. As soon as you spray it on, it has sweet vibes that harmonize perfectly with the citrus. Imagine a cake with fresh mandarins on it... This style... It stays fresh but becomes sweeter, not sticky or dominantly sweet, but perfectly balanced.
It easily stays on my skin for 8 hours and exudes neat but not over the top.
This also makes it versatile: it's fresh enough for spring and summer and sweet enough for winter and fall. It is stylish and serious enough for a wedding and at the same time casual (is that how you spell it?!?) enough for the office... Diggis for me THE perfect all-rounder.

It's one of the fragrances in my collection that I never want to do without and I'm sure I'll buy it again as soon as my bottle is empty.
A definite recommendation to buy from me.

Thank you for reading

Is it possible to mix tonka, amyris and vanilla without raising your blood sugar? Francis Kurdjian managed to achieve this perfectly!

Orange + fresh aromatic opening quickly settles to a soft iris w/creamy vanillic undertones. More dense than EDT but also more fresh orange.
