Figment Man

Amouage Figment Man is a deeply polarizing, art-driven fragrance centered on a realistic, mineral-rich earth accords. It opens with a bright, citrusy note of lemon and pink pepper that quickly gives way to a pronounced, damp soil and animalic base. The effect is not offensive or fecal to all, but rather an immersive, naturalistic scent akin to a forest floor after rain, with subtle green notes, woody depth, and a smooth, slightly sweet labdanum at the core. While the initial impact is intense and confrontational—frequently described as 'wet clay,' 'mushrooms,' or 'a damp, fertile soil'—the dry down reveals a sophisticated, evolving complexity. It shifts from raw earthiness into a richer, smoother, more evenly balanced composition of vetiver, sandalwood, guaiac wood, and a mystical, incense-like warmth, creating a deeply atmospheric, introspective experience. It performs with exceptional longevity and projection, lingering powerfully for hours, though some report varying intensity depending on skin chemistry and application.
