FL/18

I'm not getting leather with this. I mainly get a freshly sweet peach-like scent with dry cedar and birch. It's a very beautiful scent but the cedar and birch tend to overpower the sweetness in the drydown. Later on, they fade away and you're left with a very light musk. Smell: 9 out of 10 Longevity: 5 out of 10 Leans feminine For reference, I'm female.

A friend just passed on a travel size of Byredo’s Black Saffron to me. I spritzed it and found it familiar. Then I realized that it smells very much like something I already own: A.N OTHER FL/2018! AN is a little sweeter, brighter, more rounded out, and complex than BS. BS is a little more leathery. Very similar in the dry down, but I prefer the AN.

This is quite addictive. It starts off quite sweet and almost fresh. Gradually it starts warming up, going quite ambery and musky. The leather comes through after a couple of hours, grounding it out but not in an overpowering way. Overall it’s quite warm and delicious on the skin; there’s a bit of a sexy vibe from the sweetness and musk.

This is a fantastic light leather/amber scent with a bit of sweetness on top. I love it. I have FBs of 4/6 of the house and I could easily just wear these and nothing else forever.

I find this scent very difficult to resist. For me, this is a sweet ambrette. I think the sweetness makes it somehow 'feminine', and the ambrette-aspect is very unisex. A tasteful sweet, not overpowering. The leather is quite toned-down, gives it a bit of a contour around the edges. Very easy to like. Has similarities to Atelier Materi's Bois d'Ambrette, which is in my view more sophisticated, more unisex. Definitely recommended.
