Beach Hut Man
Amouage (2017)

Amouage Beach Hut Man (name of frag does not fit the scent profile)

This scent is strong in the best possible way. You smell the mint but you also smell herbaceous vetiver. The scent will take you on a ride. It can smell very strong upon initial spray but dies down into a more woody, slightly sweet scent with mint lingering in the background. This scent profile has this solidly for a man and it is except....if you ever have tried to layer a scent this is the one to do it to. A woman could layer this scent with any uber feminine frag that has a linear citrus note and flip this to a neatly complex, strong unisex frag. I sprayed a friend the other day with Beach Hut Man and came back with Mandarin Orange, Mandarin orange blossom, Mandarin accord, Orange wood, and boy oh boy. The secret sauce for a flip on the gender category is to Amp up the citrus noyes.

As is this fragrance has excellent sillage, longevity and gets a 10/10 in uniqueness.
Price wise I am not sure you can find anything like this so of you like this scent, save your coins, get a bottle.
I'm typically bale to scoop this one for $250 or less. So if you find it higher than that, let know and I'll be happy to point you to some really good sites I've found that offer superb prices.

Overall, this is pleasant, unique, and well-made.

He’s neatly dressed, works in finance, prides himself on those immaculate teeth. BDE to spare. If seeking boyfriend, my advice is to forgo the nonsense and cuddle up to this dreamboat instead.

A spicy, dark, densely forested green made crisp by a heavy dose of mint. The only thing I dislike about Beach Hut Man is the name. The boyfriend conjured from this scent experiences the beach from the luxury of his private yacht, never a hut.

Amouage's take on a green mint fragrance, this scent boasts great performance and a persistent galbanum and minty smell throughout the drydown. The opening is the best part, with a blast of sweet, dewy, and green scent that blends well with the ivy and orange blossom. The mint comes off more like what you would find in a shaving cream, but it doesn't lean barbershop. However, the sweetness of the top notes fades, leaving a rough synthetic soapy accord in the drydown. While not the worst, it may disappoint those who loved the opening or wanted a photorealistic scent of a mint garden.

The performance is great, and while some might be able to wear this in the summer, it's better suited for the spring or fall. It might come off too harsh in the summer heat, but it lasts an entire workday, so there's no concern with longevity.

Worth a sample for those who enjoy green scents, but the drydown may not suit everyone's taste. Nonetheless, Amouage should be commended for trying something different. However, the name doesn't match the scent, and it could have been called "Mint Imagination" or "Ivy Dew". If you loved this scent but want a more photorealistic take on a mint garden, try Undergrowth by Rook Perfumes.

First on, very interesting but with a screechy wood note. But definitely mint and orange blossom, green notes that must be ivy, the spiky wood of patchouli and vetiver and a smoothness of powdery moss. I would love this part if that screamwood was missing. As it mellows out, the scream dies back some and the fragrance turns to a spicy dry herbal scent that I would call 100% unisex. Full dry down however, is totally masculine, but still nicely herbal. The woody notes are very strong on drydown.

Sadly, I tried it again a few months later and it was horrific. There’s a strong yeasty smell like spilled beer permeating the whole of it, so the mint and orange blossom notes rode on top of that Bar-Room-Floor-on-New-Year’s-Day-smell. Awful.

Torn, I let it rest for another few months and resampled again. That time, it was pure Screamwood, rubbing alcohol scent with no other notes. So I guess the upshot is that this one morphs a lot and for me, none of the iterations are wearable.

What a fantastic minty green fragrance despite the misnomer (more like a jungle hut that possibly abuts a beach but nothing that most would label a beach scent).

Opens with a lovely mint, the best I've smelled so far- it's not like gum or peppermint candies like other fragrances but a very natural mint with the slight powdery scent coming from the purple mint flowers that grow outside my house.

Along with the mint are sharp green notes from the ivy and moss. Not super complex as the mint subsides some with the ivy and moss more apparent as it progresses. Very good longevity for a warm weather scent, although most if it is moss; Avg sillage.

Perfect for late Spring, early Fall and those cool, rainy summer days.

8.8/10

Beach Hut Man has a minty, orange blossom opening that is somewhat sharp at first, but settles into a cool, refreshing herbal accord as it wears. The ivy, vetiver, myrrh and oakmoss begin to replace the citrus top notes and it becomes a deeper fragrance. The mint is present in a shaving foam fashion, but not a full-on barbershop scent. It's quite powerful, in typical Amouage style, for a fresh fragrance and gives excellent sillage for around four hours with ten plus hours of longevity. A balanced dry down with the mint, vetiver, myrrh combo and little more woody/dirty base. I really like it and would consider a full bottle after my sample is used up.
