Amber

Rowan Sebastian Atkinson is an English actor, comedian and screenwriter best known for his work in the sitcoms Blackadder and Mr Bean. He has a face that everyone knows and has become accustomed to. Honestly, I don't even think his mother believes he's a good-looking man. However, most of us recall with some pleasure, the various roles he plays. I surfed the WEB to read some comments about Atkinson's looks. Here are some of my findings: "Really, he's quite ugly." "Why does he look like that?" "He looks like a bean but has the whole world inside him". "He looks like a creepy caretaker who lives in the school caretaker's dressing room". "Talent doesn't talk about looks! I love him." "He's nice and sweet." Today I suggest you try a perfume that has a cheap and not very pretty presentation, but inside you will find a juice comparable to the best amber designer offerings on the market. My wife commented that from the outside it looks like an awkward, drooling Mr Bean, but it smells like a flamboyant Johny English driving an Aston Martin. I think she meant to refer to Daniel Craig impersonating "Double O 7". Frank Olivier Amber is a spicy, almost sweet amber fragrance that offers an intense ambary background throughout its development, with a fresh, semi-citrusy opening, woody accords softened with patchouli and vetiver in the heart, and a nice, distinct warm aromatic amber (probably labdanum) and vanilla. If you are not put off by the low price and the presentation of the bottle, you will delight your nose with a very surprising amber fragrance that you can wear on numerous occasions. It's not the ultra-natural amber I always dream of, but the synthetic ingredients used are not offensive at all. Having heard comparisons to Grand Soir, Ambre Nuit and 40 Knots, I was keen to poke my nose into this budget gem without going through the trouble of a blind buy because of the low price, and I'm glad I did. The performance is not great, but quite acceptable. My opinion: The bottle could even be considered beautiful but only without the fading brown colour and the cheap plastic cap. The perfume itself is very pleasant and I will certainly use it quite often in winter, spring and autumn. Its reasonable price easily justifies a blind purchase if you like amber fragrances.

I'm going through my fragrances to see which fragrance is similar, and to me the closest is Royal Equestrian by Alexandria Fragrances with more citrus. It's not rubbery smelling to my nose like PDM Layton, and that's not a dig. It's definitely a modern smelling fragrance. Overall, it's a pleasant fragrance, but not as intoxicating as Royal Equestrian or my champ of amber CK Obsession for Men. It's very light, and I would say it's for one of those fall days when you really don't want to wear a fragrance. The fragrance sits close to the skin. There isn't anything unpleasant about this EDP, but yes, there are better choices. If you shop around, you can find this for 13 dollars with free shipping. I'm going to wear it tomorrow in the Miami heat, and see if it works for 85 degree weather. It just might. Long term 6-12 hour drydown is much more pleasant that Royal Equestrian. Day 2: Classic Amber immediately comes to mind when describing this fragrance. Day 2 nighttime: Amber has many benefits related to anti-anxiety and anti-inflammation. Since this is an EDP, tonight I sprayed this on myself and did notice that my anxiety was lessened, although I sprayed approximately 15 sprays. At 13 dollars a bottle for an EDP, I was not at all concerned about costs. Day 3: I'm really starting to love this fragrance. I'm going to have to give it a love rating.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Luxury need not be expensive. This is a really nice niche like amber fragrance at a very decent price. It reminds me of Christian Dior Ambre Nuit in the mid but the opening and the dry down is different in my humble opinion. Also, this one is a bit sharper while CDAN is fuller and rounder. By the tail end, this one takes you to a different direction and to my nose, it’s simply gorgeous and I love it, totally different from CDAN. Although the dry down of the original is something to die for in its own right, I love them both. Call it synthetic or what not, my nose likes it. I I wear it especially from autumn till early spring mostly at night time or while just chillin at home or simply sniff it for olfactory pleasure. Another affordable treat from the House of Franck Olivier. Winner in all departments 🙌 I will rate this gorgeous gem a 10/10 “Let us spread the scents of peace and kindness. The two most beautiful fragrance in the world” 🙏

On the plus side, FO Amber is very satisfying to wear - effectively balancing the honey sweet, soapy, and powdery aspects of amber. It reminds me of Halston Man Amber, but without the 80s swagger. On the minus side, this composition lacks depth - missing the spicy and musky aspects (that aforementioned 80s swagger). It wears close and doesn't last longer than 3-4 hours on my skin, a bit longer on clothes. Over spraying and heated exertion help it to push out more, but not last longer. I like this fragrance well enough to tolerate its shortcomings because a good amber that doesn't veer too sweet or cheap smelling is hard to find, especially at the very reasonable prices of the Olivier brand. I've got two backup bottles on the way because I have a feeling I will be going through a lot of sprays.

#430 in my "Tour de Fragrance" I'm a sucker for a bargain, so I've tried most of the low-priced Franck Olivier EDTs and given them all away when disappointed by their poor performance. But they do have few EDPs I've found. This is one I really like and I LOVE the price! Far better sillage and longevity than you have a right to expect in a bargain-priced EDP. The citrus is not screechy at all, the amber and vanilla not bomb level. You could wear this to the office when most vanilla-amber bombs would be a distraction. There's none of grandma's rose powder in this so I don't know how anyone is smelling Dior Ambre Nuit. If anything stands out in this its the patchouli and sandalwood. At $27 and change it's a no-risk blind buy. If you like an amber scent you'll be fine with this.
