Ambré Eau Fraîche

Looking at the reviewer before me and their complaints are valid. I wait past the initial aerosol deodorant opening and this smooths out quite nicely. I think the oak and bergamot notes are what could be off putting. After the harsher notes evaporate, the watermelon is quite apparent and so are the spices, differing significantly from Chic by CH (same family) as there is no cardamom I can smell. It is refreshing and has a great ambery woods dry down reminiscent of the original Ambré. Get past the opening and this is a winner. You could take my Acqua Essenziale by SF, or maybe Dunhill Desire Blue and spice it up to get this. It is quite a bit more interesting. This is also good if you like the others in the Ambré line which I do!

Finally a blue scent that I love and that works well with my skin chemistry (as sadly most summer scents do not) This falls in to the category of most generic,pleasant blue frags but I do have to say that this sticks out !! It opens up with a very fresh,somewhat tropical smell with the apple/watermelon but also some nice spices to give it a nice kick as well as some character!! Once this dries down it starts to get creamier,lose some of the spiciness while still having that freshness from the apple and there’s also a slight laundry fresh vibe going on as well and a little bit of wateriness from the violet !! (This is the best part of this fragrance) The drydown is pretty much the same except the violet and sandalwood take over and at this stage it’s pretty weak Performance on this I wish was better as I do like the scent !! It projects pretty nicely for 2 hours but then quickly dies down to a faint skin scent. This lasted me between 3-5 hours Overall rating -7.75 out of 10 !! Love the depth and smell of this but it’s not a top favorite and I wish the performance was better

Nose Note #219 It's a nice scent, nothing unpleasant about it, and it's not badly done. But I give it 3/5 because of poor performance and a vague profile. Nothing stands out about it. There is an apple, kind of, but it's very watery. Put it this way, if you need something to drouse yourself with in the summer - this will do, because you can spray however many time you like and it won't do much. If you have very little options and you are faced with Ambre Eau Fraiche it will also do

Some times I like to wear a spring/summer scent in the winter. This is one. Looking forward to warmer weather! ...because global warming occurs every year on the northern hemisphere about this time while strangely global cooling occurs in the southern hemisphere at the same time...

I have smelled over 1000 fragrances and this has to amount the worst. It is a cheap watermelon aroma with lots of sugar and some relicts from the original amber. Like jelly watermelon sweets with an off-putting vibe. Needless to say it has nothing masculine to it and I would say its more feminine. I usually am a fan of synthetic notes but this one is just a very big fail
