Amunae

I suspect some people’s reticence with this fragrance, apart from the exorbitant cost, is the striking departure from previous Le Gemme fragrances. However, I liked this more than I thought I would. It starts off as a delicate, slightly sparkling and sharp white floral that’s quite feminine leaning. The jasmine in this is particularly beautiful. I do get Ttan’s reference to bubblegum in the initial top notes. I can’t say I get much sense of the olibanum on my skin although it starts to peak through as it dries down and the fragrance becomes more woody, musky and unisex, with a synthetic base. I also agree that in the drydown it’s very subtly indolic, which gives it more character but not in an obvious or off-putting way. As Dorje mentions below, it’s slightly reminiscent of a vintage chypre when first applied. The musk in this fragrance reminds me of the musk in Bvlgari’s now discontinued Opalon, although that fragrance is more potent. Primarily it’s jasmine, wood and musk. Nothing groundbreaking but very pleasant nonetheless. Longevity seems decent but it wears quite light. However, Bvlgari’s new pricing for the Le Gemme line is shocking and I would hope for more complexity and performance at this price. Having said that, its lightness does suit the nature of the fragrance profile and I do like the smaller, more compact form of the new flacon. Overall, much better than I expected. Although understated, I do find it quite classy and sophisticated but at this price point, a fragrance needs to be spectacular for most people to consider a purchase. I’m a little confused with the bottle as well as the square Le Gemme used to be for their masculine line. I’d class this as unisex but it does lean rather feminine, especially up top so I’m not really sure if this is still targeted for men or if it’s a new unisex strategy. Not that it really matters but it’s certainly a change of direction. However, definitely worth a try if money is not a defining issue. Edit: the more I sit with this, the more I like it. Putting aside its cost and light nature, I find the actual scent very alluring. The jasmine and musk combination is done incredibly well and feels high quality and it's relative simplicity is perhaps its strength. From quite an indifferent initial impression, this is turning into one of my favourite Le Gemme fragrances. As a side note, I’ve been wearing the fragrance today for over ten hours and my partner’s just come home and told me I smell nice so longevity isn’t an issue for me. You need to like white florals to appreciate this but I’d suggest approaching it with openess and not from the perspective of previous Le Gemmes and then, like me, you might be more taken with it, especially those who remember the style of Opalon.

To those criticizing this perfume, I urge you to give it a proper chance. I have genuinely never encountered such an authentic musk mallow note in a fragrance before. The way it unfolds with a slightly indolic, almost dirty nuance is incredibly sexy and alluring. The jasmine here is of exceptional quality, blending seamlessly with the musk to create something soft yet undeniably noticeable. There’s also a subtle bubblegum effect that I can’t seem to shake, reminiscent of Tuberose Astrale. However, while that fragrance focused on tuberose, this one plays with jasmine in a similar manner. I wouldn’t consider this a bad release by any means, but it’s certainly not Bulgari’s best. That title still belongs to Falkar or Orom, in my opinion.

Hope that this works😇 I bought this, will come tomorrow from Shopee indonesia I love some soothing vibes like this and Petit Matin by Mfk And many says this similar with Another 13 No problem, that best seller from lelabo Hope soon I will like it even love this.

Amunae has dethroned Chanel 1957 as my all time favorite musk scent

I keep trying this; if it wasn't so expensive I'd have bought it the first time I smelt it... the jasmine top note (top for me, not middle) is so delicious. The jasmine is gone so soon though... I don't expect anyone to agree but the drydown is, to my nose, a lot like Zara's Sugar Foam. People have mentioned a coconut note in Amunae, which Sugar Foam has, so maybe that's what I'm smelling. Anyhow, for the price this may be too much of a skin scent for me, so I might wait til I get a windfall to buy this one. Update: I've still been trying this on any time I get the chance! I was given a sample yesterday, and the assistant in the stand "perfumed" me - This will be coming home with me soon. It doesn't project, but the longevity is terrific! Still smells gorgeous on my arm the next day... Update #2 - Reader, I bought her... I found 125ml for £166 - the price point is very high still for me, but as it's around £355 usually, I had to take the plunge. I cant quite believe it yet - I've been thinking about this scent for about 8 months - delayed gratification can't be beaten... There is a lot of hate for this cration but I am very confident in my taste - this perfume is BEAUTIFUL. It wasn't £355 beautiful for me, but its definitely £166 beautiful. Ladies and Gents, my advice to you is to buy what delights you (and you can afford) Thank you and goodnight.
