Creative Director Christopher Chong joined Amouage in 2007, and his first perfume was Jubilation. Christopher is one of the more fearless Creative Directors in luxury perfumery and over the past ten years has overseen the House’s fragrances,often taking chances and reinventing artistic perfumery with compelling olfactive narratives. It is no surprise he named his 2008 offerings “Lyric”, as Christopher is an opera singer.

When Amouage Lyric Man and Woman debuted in 2008, this duo of Amouage roses was a surprise to many. Lyric Man smelled more "feminine" (fresh and jammy) and Woman smelled "spicier and more resinous".
