Ambre de Cabochard

This is simply a delightful amber. I almost could stop right there. But of course I wont. Hints of floral and a touch of fruit make just the perfect caress in the opening. Leather speaks up, giving it a unisex depth. Spices are artfully intertwined throughout, and lest we forget: amber, amber, amber. This is rich, stately, yet also comforting and well rounded. Appropriate for ladies (not girls), and quite right for gents with "somewhere to go". Appropriate all winter, but not impossible all year. Appropriate in quite a range of situations. Appropriate to say that Ambre de Cabochard is quite a masterpiece. Personal chemistry is no doubt an issue for any fragrance, and in this case I've hit upon great luck, as Ambre de Cabochard actually gets better the longer it's on me. The warmth shines through, the fruit notes develop more fully, and it transforms into something most personal. Makes me crave an absolut of the stuff, which sadly, I believe is not made. As always - your milage may vary. Test, test, test....

I bought this blind based on the reviews, despite recommendations in favor of the lighter Jesus del Pozo Ambre. Now I’m so glad I chose Ambre de Cabochard anyway! The initial spritz gives you a dose of spices, vaguely reminiscent of cumin, but don’t let that scare you off: this note vanishes completely, leaving a veil of warmth and sweetness that persists for hours, and yes, eventually transforms into the scent of blueberries, baked blueberries. I would call this an oriental gourmand. Two skishes were in no way overwhelming or formidable, unlike the classic heavy-hitters like Opium, nor indeed AdeC’s butch aunt scent Cabochard. Ambre de Cabochard is a contemporary scent for those who prefer their fall Orientals subdued and pleasant. After 10 hours, the scent (from a single spritz) was still on my shirt. And that beautiful semi-spiciness reminds me of the dry-down of a totally different fragrance: I think it's Caroline Herrera 212 or 212 Sexy.

Ambre de Cabochard is one of the most romantic scents ever made.Imagine a passionate and shy lady engaged to a young university professor, both a genius and a spoiled child, invited for the very first time at the Christmas lunch of a large Catholic family, to which belongs her fiancé. Well, I believe that she'd wear this kind of fragrance: not-so-disturbing-sweet like Angel by Thierry Mugler, with a note of "homemade" and naive, given by the Mandarin in the opening, but slightly restless and ardent too, like the notes of tuberose and ginger.And with a pain and a secret bitterness hidden deep in the heart, given the cyclamen and the blueberry. I am familiar with this troubled girl, because it's me. This warm and soothing scent comforted me while I was going to die of anguish in the midst of all those people looking at me and smiling. God bless Catholic large families from Marche region, our love and Ambre de Cabochard.

I wish I could drown myself in Ambre de Cabochard, my new 'happy scent' (thank you I.I for the lovely sample, which led to my purchase after the first test on my wrist lol). It's nothing like its original old sister Cabochard but beautiful as itself. It opens with refreshing blackcurrant, yummy blueberry, orange and subtle spice, a bit strong yet nothing harsh. It sounds strange but I get more amber in the opening than in the dry down. Then it quickly reveals its soft, warm, sweet, slightly powdery and not-so-floral heart, which I can't tell each notes except vague tuberose. The dry down is so close to skin that you need to really press your nose hard to catch amber, patchouli and tonka bean. It's overall a very cozy and sunny scent, perfect for a lazy sunday afternoon. The longevity is only about 2 hours on me, but it's gorgeous while it lasts. Plus you can get it cheaper than a body mist so I've nothing to complain.

This fragrance reacts with my skin in an amazing way. I have a slightly alkaline PH and on me perfumes change a lot; what works for most, doesn't work for me. Ambre is heavenly. It opens with the spicy, very detectable note of cinnamon, then gently settles and brings out woody notes, the patchouli, a hint of cardamom and a warm, soft heart of amber. Everyone is mesmerised by it, but unfortunately all my friends whom tried it had to agree: it doesn't work on basic PH skins. To be honest, am glad, as this perfume will never smell quite so lovely on many :) It's nice when we find a fragrance that work for us and not for the masses, so am overjoyed and I have purchased an awful lot of bottles for the times to come. This and Angel will be my signature scents for a very, very long time. Thanks Cabochard!

I love this perfume. The first spritzes are delicious, warm and ambery but sweet and a bit gourmand. BUT, it lasts about 10 minutes on me. No trail. I have to really breath in my wrist to smell this lovely perfume. I will continue to use it, but if it is always the same I am afraid it won't be one of my faves, for which it has good potential! The bottle is absolutly lovely for an affordable perfume! Edit: I have been using this for a few days, but still 0 sileage :( which is so so sad as I do love this scent. Lasting power is also very short in my skin about an hour tops. Very disapointing because I just want to wear it every day, I have a crush on it but the it and it gives me joy and makes me feel elegant every morning when I spray it, but then it just dissapoints me...

This was a blind buy gone right for me. Ambre de Cabochard is a lovely feminine amber on me. At 1st it opens with a sharp floral note that I can't discern, reminds me of typical 80s type fragrances. However, a few minutes in it develops into a gorgeous powdery/balsamic amber that I thoroughly enjoy. My only gripe as a lover of slightly heavier ambers, is that it's sillage is very soft and longevity is not great. Next time I will spray a lot more! Simply a beautiful amber that anyone, any age could wear. Soft and non offensive. For those who prefer a softer spoken amber fragrance, please don't overlook this beauty.

This is just delightful. CK's Obsession and YSL's Opium made love and the result is the pretty, quirky and extremely perfect violin virtuso Ambre Cabochard. I get pencil, quite a lot of pencil actually! I also get blueberries, this warm but not overpowering vanilla. I also get the resin that's used for aiding friction on your bow when playing a violin. As I've been playing pretty much my whole life this frag is like burying my face in my violin box while eating vanilla muffin... Wholy moly I think I just fell head over heels in love with this successful blind buy. Thanks Fragranticans!

This is a very lovely perfume for the colder weather. It smells very warm and sweet but in a good way. It is one I would wear to go out during an autumn or winter day. I have started to get rid of all the perfumes in my wardrobe that I do not like but this is staying. I smell a delicious caramel, amber but not fruity fragrance which is fine by me. A lovely perfume to have now that the colder months are here.

A bold and loud blueberry in a bottle. Picture this: warm up some frozen blueberries with sugar in a pot, throw in a splash of vanilla as the syrup thickens, and bam—you’ve got Ambre de Cabochard. A classic, strong, yet somehow still natural-smelling gem. But alas, it’s been discontinued. Why, oh why, do they always take the good ones out? RIP to one of the greats. Wear what you want. No labels needed.

Underrated gem, mouthwatering fragrance with good balance of sweet (berries and amber) and tart quality - from patch with ginger and cardamom. I like that it is not similar with other perfumes of mine and it has optimistic classy vibe, kind of that Chanel Mademoiselle or Mauboussin are having. It is spicy and sparkly, like champagne on the frost, has certain statement within and just womanish.

This was a strong, sweet amber-based blueberry oriental on my skin. It is really quite delicious, but the lasting power is horrible on me! As much as I want to add it to my wardrobe, the fact that it dries down to a vague, bitter dusty note within an hour is a really discouraging thing. I am guessing the vanilla in this one does not agree with me. This could have been a true gem!

I recently purchased a bottle of Les Belles de Ricci Delice d`Epices and got a real taste of cinnamon and cardamom, which are both present in Ambre de Cabochard. I generally don't like Orientals but this one is special. The blueberry/cardamom/cinnamon combination is lovely and all are separately distinguishable. Lovely, warm Oriental. Ordered a 1.6 oz. from Ebay this morning!

اشتريت هذا العطر بما يعادل الـ ١٦ دولاراً .. نعم اداء العطر متواضع نوعاً ما لكن الجمال شافعٌ مقابل هذا الثمن .. عطر عنبري خشبي نوعا ما حالم .. انثوي تزاحمه الرجولة .. الباشول من النوع الذي افضله وحي اقلام الرصاص و التلوين .. كأجمل العطور النسائية على الاطلاق بوجهة نظري .. إيلّ و بيل دي اوبيوم من سان لوران مع لمسة عنبرية دافئة .. العطر قريب جدا من الرائع موبوسان

I just got my hands on this lovely bottle. To be honest I wasn't impressed when I initially sprayed it, because it was a bit too strong for me. But when settled down after few minutes it has a soft yet spicy, yummy, deep sensual feeling. I think it is a beautiful smell to wear during cold months. So glad I have it in my perfume collection.

This is sweet, warm and inviting. I can smell the cardamom and amber in the opening. Soon it follows by soft, powdery and sweet notes of vanilla and tonka. Lasting power is great, about 6-8 hours. It stays close to skin however. Smells expensive and timeless. Heavenly.

A beautiful bottle and smells much more expensive than it is. There is an almost single note spice at first, smelling a bit Christmassy, which beds down into vanilla and incense. Great for winter. Good lasting power.

Blueberries and amber, I just wish it was a little stronger and maybe creamier. But I still love it!

Strong patchouli! Wow. Nice! Blueberry patchouli pancakes. Mmm.

I'm getting strawberries and amber.
