Ambra by Jeroboam

Delicious! Reminds me of African Leather by Memo, so it must be similar to Andy Tauer’s. It’s very much like AL, but this one is softer, creamier, and powdery, thanks to the balm. I’d give it an 8 because African Leather is a 10 for me 😁

AMBER WITHOUT GREY AMBER, AMBER THAT DOESN’T EXIST AND WHICH WE DREAM ABOUT. THE NOTE OF FANTASY AMBER, WHICH HAS RECEIVED SO MANY INTERPRETATIONS, SEEMS TO HAVE NO END. THIS PERFUME, WHILE IT IS A TYPICAL AMBER ACCORD, HAS A COCKTAIL OF WHITE MUSKS THAT GIVE IT A DISTINCT TOUCH. ON THE OPENING, THE BERGAMOT GIVES A FRESHNESS, BUT IT PASSES QUICKLY. THEN THE BALMY PART EMERGES: THE PATCHOULI AND PERU BALSAM DRY DOWN WITH THE AMBER AND MUSKS, CREATING A RICH AND HEAVY BLEND. THE DRY DOWN IS A CANVAS OF VANILLED MUSKS; EVERYTHING ELSE DISAPPEARS AND THE VANILLA WITH THE MUSKS LEAVE A BEAUTIFUL FINISH. THE LONGEVITY IS VERY GOOD, OVER 12 HOURS ON MY SKIN, BUT THE Sillage IS MODERATE: GOOD FOR THE

Jeroboam is Jovoy’s most exclusive line. When I bought ‘Remember Me’, they added samples, including ‘Ambra’. It revolves around amber. The opening is brief, sparkling, and fresh with a hint of incense. It follows with mentholated, herbaceous, and spicy touches. Quite masculine. The dry down is neutral, creamy, powdery, and very musky with resinous warmth and a floral touch. The vanilla and tonka are there, but on my skin it’s not sweet; it has a sour note that I don’t like. It is elegant, unique, bold, and sensual. Sillage and longevity are moderate. Ideal for cold climates. Although the dry down is more unisex, it still leans towards the masculine side. I wouldn’t be able to wear it; I think it shines much more on a man’s skin. They say it goes with Au Coeur du Désert by Andy Tauer, but I haven’t tried it, so I can’t say anything. The Angel by Mugler connection must be due to the patchouli, which is very dominant. It was a surprise; it turned into a very singular amber with that fresh, mentholated heart. It’s not my style, but I do recommend the experience.
