  A rare amber with many nuances. Watch out: Quintessentyally Amber isn’t gourmand, not sweet, nor dense. I trusted the few reviews available. At first, it smells of light amber and a strong medicinal/camphorated note, like Antonio Gardoni. Honestly, the first time I didn’t see the point, as other critics said. That ‘wow’ Sebastian Jara mentioned is due to that surprising medicinal tone, like when he interviewed Sultan Pasha in Paris. After 10-15 minutes, the camphor fades, becoming very woody and creamy thanks to the sandalwood, which dominates and smells fantastic. A salty touch from the ambergris and something smoky. Performance is modest, unisex but leaning towards men. It doesn’t specify if the sandalwood is from Mysore, India, but I’d return for that. It should be called ‘Quintessentyally Sandalwood’. I didn’t like it at first, left it for two days, and when I came back to it, I finally connected. It’s a different amber from mine (Grand Soir, Ambre Eccentrico, my favourite Ambra Avrea). It has charm but needs to be known. It stuck to the collar of my shirt and still smelled after four days. Lasts a long time on clothes. I like it and keep discovering it.

  Look, I’ve never tried anything like this. It’s not animalic, but it feels challenging, like spice dust and lots of amber. The projection and longevity are brutal. Don’t think making amber is easy; this proves it. Better to test before buying blindly.
