Oriental Noir

I received all Amberfig fragrances to review them at my Brazilian website, even the ones that haven't reached the market at the time, such as Smoking Lounge and Cafe Massoia. Beautiful creations, by the way. Let's talk about this one: Oriental Noir reveals a warm scent, rich in spices, alcoholic nuances, and dense aspect. Its fragrance doesn’t lose anything for a Serge Lutens, for instance. In the official composition we have cedarwood from Virginia and European cypress, in the output; Cloves, incense, vanilla, and tonka bean, in the heart; Amber, benzoin, and vetiver, in the base. On my skin, the Cypress announces what's coming. The smell of cloves is wonderful, without any medicinal aspect of remedy used by dentists, which is common in some fragrances that possess such note. This smell arises, almost immediately, after applying the fragrance on the skin. When the evolution starts for real, the incense is very yummy and the vanilla is a liqueur as if it dyes the liquid and gives the final color of the product. From the base, I feel a strong and resinous amber. The vetiver seems to appear trying to breathe, as if it were a diver rising to the surface searching for air, in a sea of ambery nuances. I see more of a masculine approach in this fragrance that makes me think of an audience composed, mostly, by men who are firm and determined in their purposes. Both projection and lasting are beyond reproach. Oriental Noir is a Brazilian creation, with beautiful presentation and quality that matches the big brands of international prestige.

I had huge expectations of this fragrance. It has tonka beans, vanilla, vetiver, amber, incense, cloves and cypress, all of which I feel attracted to. When I got it, I absolutely loved it. It smells A LOT of cloves and star anises at first, then incense, vetiver, dates and cinnamon. Couldn't smell vanilla or tonka bean on my skin (it's not a sweet fragrance at all). I love that it doesn't try to be a balanced scent, it is not mainstream in any way: no flowers, no "perfume-y" scent. I feel like and old lebanese lady cooking in her kitchen full of spices and delicious smells. Pungent, authentic, great. Try before you buy it.

Beautiful blend of cloves and amber (these are the predominant notes to my nose). Very versatile as far as it can be worn during the day or at night. In daytime, it smells rather uplifting. At night, it is exotic and alluring. All Amberfig fragrances are made of pure essential oils (no synthetics at all!), so you can be sure you're sniffing the real stuff. It has also great sillage and longevity.

A legitimate oriental scent with much incense and spices. he has a clove just right , very good perfume to be used at night and in cold climates , well marked and with a great setting

It's THE perfum, i love it. I love all Amberfig's fragrances, but this one is 'my baby'....srrsrsrrs
