Ambre Latte

from the very first sniff, I had that familiar feeling of recognising something I'd smelt before. It opens with a creamy almond note, quickly followed by a comforting blend of caramel, tonka bean and vanilla. The overall impression is smooth and milky, but not overly sweet. As it develops on my skin, a prominent musky - woody amber accord begins to emerge, adding depth and warmth to the composition. It was at this point that it clicked for me, Ambre Latte to me is a lighter interpretation of Vanilla Haze Extrait by Fugazzi. Both fragrances share a nutty opening, followed by a rich combination of caramel, vanilla, tonka and musk, although Ambre Latte feels a little airier and less intense. Longevity on my skin is around six hours with moderate sillage. This fragrance will resonate with anyone who likes modern vanilla - amber combination. I genuinely enjoy this fragrance and think it's beautifully composed. However, I won't be purchasing a full bottle, as I already own Vanilla Haze Extrait and the two are really close.

Although I was reminded of a few perfumes I own or have smelt, this one is missing all the harsh and booze notes, and isn’t as overwhelmingingly pungent, and therefore is now the perfect iteration of all those other ones. I can stand any of the other ones about 30 minutes (after just one spray), and become nauseated. This one put a smile on my face every time I got a whiff. I’m so glad I ordered a sample. And I love this house. They use recyclable packaging, refillable bottles, hire amazing perfumers, and don’t charge an arm and a leg. The dry-down is the best of all its cousins. It’s so smooth, warm, cozy. Not all perfumes need to make a statement. What happened to the perfume world that people don’t just want to smell and feel good, and not offend all their seat mates while doing so. If my seat mate smelt like this, I’d definitely ask what they’re wearing. If it was my hubby, I’d want to do other things. But I’m keeping this one for myself.

This fragrance is a mix of bianco latte with a sweet fresh base of akigala wood which to me gives off the same vibe as bois imperial. I don't get any plasticky notes from it (and i get them a bit from bianco latte). It sounds strange but if you like bois imperial and aren't afraid of the sweet notes in the opening, I think you will like this. Ambrofix smells like mold to me in perfumes that are filled with it (like vanilla skin, glosier you etc) and i can pick it up almost instantly. So I was pleasantly surprised that i don't notice it here. Overall it's a new love for me, will be buying a full bottle of this, but judging from the reviews not blind buy safe.

I'm currently testing a sample of this fragrance. Ambre Latte opens with a crisp almond note that is slightly sweet, creamy, and still feels surprisingly fresh. Beneath it lies a comforting blanket of woody notes, making this far from your typical gourmand perfume. Projection is moderate—not too loud, but certainly not a skin scent either. Longevity is excellent on both my skin and clothes. Is it an ultra-special niche fragrance? No. Yet that's not necessarily what I look for in a perfume. To me, Ambre Latte is a true masterpiece: comforting, beautifully blended, incredibly easy to wear, yet still unique. I can't wait to get a full bottle.

I don’t get the hate on this perfume. If you want a lactonic perfume, but want something different than Milk, with some sweetness but not an overly sweet gourmand, this is it. It is realistic and cozy, but to me sexy and mysterious as well. The ambre adds depth, and it is just so pleasant on skin. Better than Milk in my opinion. If you love this, DEFINITELY try to layer it with the Rare beauty Amber Vanilla layering balm. They have a different opening but the dry down is quite similar. They compliment eachother beautifully.

What an incredible fragrance! Powdery, gourmand, and sweet — but not overly sweet. I usually choose fragrances based on my mood, so I can adapt to almost any scent. But this one is the kind you just want to keep smelling again and again. It also lasts amazingly well on both skin and clothes. Once I spray it on my coat, it’s almost impossible to wear Bois Imperial afterwards, because Ambre Latte lingers so beautifully.

Oh this is delicious! Very vanilla, milky and woody. The longevity is great, I usually go nose blind to fragnances after couple of hours, but not with this one for some reason, I can smell it as clearly as when I sprayed it. I can't stop smelling my hand. Its very soft and just comforting in a way. Genuinely just such a nice fragrance, not generic either. I can see this as a great signature fragrance. Love love love!

oh my god erotic decadence deluxe in all the discovery set this probably is the most designery but goddamn it is addictive The promotion material is hilarious though, Givaudan parfumer: "I used upcycled vibrant Akigalawood and Ambrofix" YOU DON'T SAY!!!!

This scent is gorgeous kind of lactonic ( because of the sandalwood and caramel ) and a bit sweet from the tonka and almonds and full amber. Is for everyone and please please don’t write that it smells like Bianco Latte means you have never tried it

Masterpiece in my opinion, milky but not overly sweet overall, my husband quotes or and we both think it reminiscent of a childhood dessert but can't remember which. Hope not everyone will start wearing it, like Bois imperial.

oh its a divine scent for sure. i’m so sad its almost summer so i can’t wear it because it’s going to be a little too cloying to my liking but its still a perfectly, not overly, sweet and an absolutely gorgeous scent

Groundbreaking? No. Delicious? ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY. So cozy- this is a perfect bedtime scent.

This is a very loud scent, way more pleasant in a distance rather then smelling it directly on the skin. I would say the other people will get to enjoy it way more than the person wearing it ( up close it is a bit kwer powering and synthetic) . It smells really familiar. There is caramel, it reminds some pistachio scents and of SOL perfume by Sol de Janeiro. At the same time I detect something a bit masculine in it, and resembling Purpose 50 by Amouage. Performance is very impressive though.

I had assumed that this would be a no-brainer buy for me, but there’s something almost plasticky in here that I can’t put my finger on. Almonds, tonka, milk, vanilla...but maybe all the ambrofixes and woods are making this less special than it could be. Great longevity and performance though. I think Essential Parfums is one of the best value brands out there, for the quality you get. One for me to consider further.

Lactonic dominant opening fades a little after a while giving more room to musk. I don't sense much of woods but overall, Ambre Latte smells quite sophisticated and luxurious, and yet, it gives warm and cozy vibes, it doesn't scream, it announces its presence, I like that. I portray woman wearing warm white fur coat or a home with such white fur cozy carpets.

Beautiful creamy, savory, softly sweet almond fragrance just after the initial alcohol burst, then poof! It's gone. What remains is a pleasant sandalwood skin scent. That's upsetting. Hopefully, they will release an extrait soon.

i find it kind of plain. woody, soft vanilla - soft but has depth, doesnt smell too sweet, more close to the skin, intimate scent. pretty and easy to wear

This is very strong but not ambre latte just wood. So it is a long lasting sweet wood scent. I like it but nowdays everyone smells like that.

Opens quite sweet, I can barely detect the almond (which is a shame, that’s what I was looking for). The opening fades very quickly, leaving a sugary sweetness (perhaps the caramel), though not suffocating. There’s also something fresh, almost cold — on my skin it reads almost mentholated. There’s a slight plasticky note too, which I can’t quite place. I guess it’s the Ambroxan. Overall, nothing extraordinary. A wearable sweet scent, suitable even for summer. No note stands out excessively. Neither remarkable nor disappointing Edit: kept trying it. A big synthetic modern cold mess. Gifted to a friend. I usually really like Essential, but this is a huge miss. :(

There are already a billion perfumes that smell like this, and this is a particularly synthetic and boring iteration of this bloated genre. Of these boring, milky, saccharine gourmands, this one is cheaper than the rest, but you get what you pay for. This is irritating my nasal nerves and quickly becomes nauseating.
