Vanille Ambree

I love this smell, it's very warming and comforting. To me it smells like spiced rum - the vanilla is obvious without being overwhelming or too sweet, as it's balanced out by the almond and a darker note that I don't know the name of, but makes me think of woody and brown. As others have said, it's true that it fades very quickly, which is a great shame. However, I keep my bottle in my desk at work to use as a pick-me-up during the day and it does the trick!

Pretty sure this is discontinued now. I am devastated. It was my go to daily perfume. I kept it in my bag and would touch up when I would finish work. They have replaced it with some other boring typical vanilla cookie/candle type smell. The amber was the key to making this much more wearable.

variazioni sul tema dell'ambra: stavolta in accordo con vaniglia, mandorla e mimosa. nonostante si tratti di un profumo bio, ha una buona persistenza. nell'insieme molto caldo e confortevole, bello!

So special and warm scent. I am in love with it.

Acorelle VANILLE AMBREE opens with a bit of an amaretto scent--I do not catch the mimosa--and then quickly evolves into a vanilla patchouli with a smooth and creamy quality apparently imparted by the peru balsam. This all-natural, organic line appealed to me as a break from the so many very synthetic and mass-produced lines around that clearly spend far more on package (especially marketing) than product. I am impressed with the quality of this blend and do feel that it is entirely devoid of any scrub-inducing elements whatsoever. Acorelle explicitly vaunts the aromatherapeutic benefits associated with the essential oils used in each of their blends. Peru balsam is said to combat fatigue; patchouli serves to stimulate the body; and bitter almond acts as a muscle relaxant. (hmmm... isn't there a contradiction in there somewhere?...) I would not say that this particular composition is all that original, but it is very pleasant, and I recommend it to those who appreciate vanilla patchouli fragrances. VANILLE AMBREE has good staying power and sillage in the edp.
