Ambre Intense

The below review was a while back and since then I'd always imagined Evody to be a pretty good house, well never presume anything because the rest of their efforts I've sampled since just don't cut the mustard. So I managed to get a proper set of samples and this was one I knew I had raved about and was expecting to be disappointed a second time around...but no...It's still pretty awesome. This opens with such a sweet warming presence that appeals to me but if it stayed that way would become cloying. Luckily it doesn't and quickly progresses passed the top notes revealing a pleasant amber accord and spicy incense with a hint of smoke and sandalwood. Where it lets itself down slightly is on performance, it's not bad but gets close to the skin quick and is too subtle for something labelled 'Intense'. However, I stick to my original thoughts...Evody Ambre Intense is a superb Amber fragrance that makes you let out an audible sigh of satisfaction. I'm still really tempted to add it to my collection, and I've got (let alone tried) loads of ambers so that's Praise indeed.

Intense it isn't. A gorgeous balmy amber which is soft and has a wonderful sweetness coming from the patchouli. The incense and resin is fresh not smokey and the overall effect is soft. This is a gentle fragrance in no way intrusive or bold and for this reason, leans in a mildly feminine direction. That being said I would still wear Evody Amber Intense as I found it a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The first fragrance I've tried from this house and so far I'm impressed.

Niche fragrance, very high level. Fresh overture, created by the masterful laurel, which accompanies the fragrance in all its exciting performance, a sensory journey that magically lands in amber accords and boises of rare beauty. Superb, enchanting fragrance, for all amber lovers.

Sweet, spicy and ambery scent that is very pleasant to the nose. Idk why I feel like I have already tried something that smells like this. Once again well done Evody.. Scent: 8/10 Longevity: 7/10 Projection: 7/10

Spicy sweet amber. I can smell black pepper ( not in notes) and amber with a trace of patchouli and sandalwood. Develops into a smoky sultry scent.
