Ambre is an amber-centric perfume that turns out sweet, elegant, and very powdery—somewhat feminine, yet nothing to scare away a confident man. The scent is soft, delicate, and sweet without being cloying; it doesn’t aim for a hard amber, but rather the resin’s more innocent facet. At first, the sweet, vanilla-tinged amber with a well-executed resinous touch isn’t overly sugary. Gradually, it becomes powdery, with the amber wrapped in vanilla and an undefined flower over patchouli and sandalwood. Here, it loses sweetness and gains elegance, creating something sophisticated and sober with a lovely powdery floral-woody nuance. This is how it stays until it dries down, except for a balsamic, vaporous veil at the very end, perhaps from the opoponax, always light. The development is quick, noticeable within the first hour, then remains consistent until the end. It evokes an attractive, sophisticated woman in a suit—executive and entrepreneurial, someone who knows what she wants. Performance is good, lasting around 8 or 9 hours on skin with a strong trail initially, then moderate-to-high. It suits cold or temperate climates, day or night. It has a feminine air that prevents me from loving it entirely; I just like it. It’s not so feminine that a man can’t wear it; I’ll keep using it until it’s finished, but a test spray beforehand would be wise. It’s high quality and pricey: if you’re a woman and can afford it, it’s supremely elegant; to a man, I’d say give it a try before buying.

I adore the amber in this, but there’s one note that kills it for me: it smells of dampness and wet earth. I’m not sure if it’s the patchouli or the opoponax (and neither of those are my thing), but it strips away all the charm and makes it a bit rough. There are plenty of softer, more elegant amber options out there.
