Is Lustre suitable for professional or office environments?+−
While it is an elegant and refined scent, its profile is heavy on resins and spices. Most find it better suited for evening wear, leisure, or formal occasions, though it can work in an office if applied lightly.
How does the performance of Lustre compare to other Amouage fragrances?+−
It maintains the high performance typical of the house, offering very long longevity. However, its projection is described as more of a "noticeable trail" rather than a piercing or overwhelming scent cloud.
Does this fragrance lean more masculine or feminine?+−
Lustre is classified as unisex. It balances the traditionally masculine elements of cedar and cypriol with the softer, powdery notes of iris and the sweetness of vanilla and tonka bean.
What are the most prominent notes in the drydown?+−
After the initial spice fades, the scent settles into a warm, resinous blend of sandalwood, myrrh, and ambrarome, with a lingering powdery touch from the iris and sweetness from benzoin.
