Amouage Beach Hut Man is my scent of the day today. It’s about 74 degrees here in Southern California and expected to climb into the low 80s, which is one of those days that reminds you why we pay the weather tax here, even in December. It felt like a good opportunity to give this one some air. Beach Hut Man is a green, aromatic fragrance that often surprises people based on the name alone. When you hear “Beach Hut,” you might expect something aquatic or marine, but this goes in a completely different direction. It feels more like coastal vegetation than ocean air. The opening is very green and aromatic. Mint leads right away, joined by geranium and orange blossom, creating a sharp, fresh, almost jungle-like greenness. It feels leafy and alive rather than watery. The mint gives a cooling lift, while the geranium adds a slightly bitter, stemmy edge. There is a touch of sweetness from the orange blossom, but at this stage it stays more in the background. About fifteen minutes in, the scent is still firmly in the opening. On areas more exposed to the air, the orange blossom reads a little sweeter and lighter. In warmer, more covered spots, the greenness stays stronger and more herbal. It feels very natural and well structured rather than playful or blue. Beach Hut Man already shows why it carries the Amouage name. It’s confident, green, and aromatic, with depth starting to build early. Definitely not a beach scent in the usual sense, but an interesting take on warm-weather greenery. Looking forward to seeing how this one settles as the day goes on.

My cute hairdresser liked it!
