Eau de Iceberg Amber

At Parfumo these notes are listed: Thyme, Rum, Cinnamon. Frankincense, Ebony, Clary sage. Ambergris, Opoponax, Benzoin. I blind bought a bottle because I was impressed by the sandalwood one, so I'll update when I receive it. UPDATE: Wore two sprays to the chest. This is light, but quite pleasant. It has no "monster" notes, such as the boozy quality in Bentley Intense, and in fact it quickly settles down, with moderate projection. The blend, however, is excellent, and reminiscent of a very light version of Ambre Sultan by Lutens. In this one, though, you don't get anything syrupy, vanillic, blob-like, or similar to Play-Doh. It is the "office-friendly" version of an amber niche scent, only the rum makes it a bit more interesting. The quality seems well beyond what you would expect at this price point (less than $10 for 100 ml) - this "blind buy' was one of my best so far! Note that I get little if any wood note, and though a couple of people think it's similar to Ambre Gris, I would disagree, other than they both present a version of amber (AG had obvious tuberose, whereas Amber isn't floral). UPDATE #2: Wore it again and now I'm also thinking that it smells like a more natural and smoother version of Spark for Men. UPDATE #3: With yet another wearing, 4 sprays total, I get the strong herbal note at first, but after an hour or so, that's largely gone and a "masculine" powdery quality emerges, and the sweetness is more obvious. The spice is always present but never too strong. This does not smell synthetic, at least when it is sprayed on the chest. It may be that those who think it does are smelling it up close on the skin, and you can't expect miracles from a $10/100 ml fragrance! If you want to smell something totally natural up close, yes, go find a $100/50 ml scent and have at it! Also, this is more of a niche composition than a designer one, so if you are expecting the typical mall scent woody/amber, you may be disappointed.

Eau de Iceberg Amber- Iceberg is easily a unisex fragrance that is a soft, beautiful, woody-gray amber scent including notes of: Thyme, Rum, Cinnamon, Frankincense, Ebony, Clary sage, Ambergris, Opoponax and Benzoin. DONT THINK THAT THIS IS A STRONG SCENT BASED ON THE NOTE PROFILE. The scent isn’t going to takeover a room, or announce your impending arrival. It occupies only the space you are in and doesn’t trail behind you. It lasts how you spray it. If you spray it in a reserved manner it obviously doesn’t last near as long as a heavier spray of the fragrance. Please note that spraying too heavily can cause a nauseating headache. It’s a soft scent, over spraying will not make it easier to smell. Its sillage is intentionally elegant, professional and soft. Was sad to hear that it is discontinued as I just learned of this beauty a couple of months back from a Fragram friend. I purchased 3 backup bottles for my husband and I to share. I feel that it’s suitable for any season and occasion. It creates a beautifully contemplative, serene atmosphere around you. Blind buy safe if you read this review and don’t expect more from it than it was created to do.

This fragrance is far more complex and rich than the 3 simple notes in this page may make estimate. There is a strong presence of Amber Gris (not listed); I even consider this to be the main note, already present in the opening and dominating the dry down. I also detect a boozy note like rum or sweet brandy, and cinnamon giving a very pleasant sweetness to this EDT. It's quite a good fragrance and an astonishing selection for the price (13.5 euros in ShowroomPrivé). I want to try it a bit longer before having a more definite opinion on it.

Lovely opening and mid notes, reminds niche orientals. Base a bit too sweet, but still very nice for price. It's sweet in solid way, not screaming at all. Oriental, spicy, woody, boozy. A real surprise, and of course underrated. Longevity - 8 Sillage - 7 Scent - 8

Masculine, seductive, I feel like this is a mix between givenchy pi and armani code profumo, I might be totally wrong but this is a really nice scent, I only paid 10euros for this at the time of purchase, now it is around 20 euros

I got this for free through the use of gift cards. (retailed at £15). I would say this is a very common smell, nothing outside of the status quo here at all. It's simple and very casual. I could almost say it smells like a lot of synthetic flagship store scents. However, you only get a burst of this right at the beginning. So perhaps saying that does it a disservice. Opening: Synthetic burst of Amber. Top: a much gentler amber with a woody/citrus smell. I would actually recommend this for day to day corporate wear. There is no wow factor here, but I could see myself wearing this at the office. Would I buy this? Yes, because I wouldn't want to exhaust my favorites and it's good to have something like this in my daily repertoire.

if you can find a bottle before a re-release/reformulation appears, it is worth it. this has the powdery warmth of a cool sunny autumn day just before dusk. at first, i felt it was too sweet but later realized it is an inviting confidence from the comforting gentleman. this smell reminds me of formal family events during the November/December holidays. My father used to wear Obsession for Men by CK and this was the first thing I thought upon the initial blast of Iceberg’s Amber. It has the delightful warmth of By The Fireplace without the smoky notes. This is one to grab when you want your company to know that everything is going to be just fine :)

A good fragrance all around. 100% Amber, but not a strong or heavy scent. What I really like what Iceberg did with this (and with their Eau de Iceberg Sandalwood) is that they took a heavier, warmer ingredient and lightened it up. I can see myself wearing this year round including cooler nights in the summer. Only issue I have is that longevity is only a couple of hours for me, but, at this price, it's really no problem to spray some more on.

Very masculine and sophisticated. Sillage and longevity are great for the price!

love it. spicy but not too overpowering spice and gorgeous bottle

Don't be fooled by all those positive reviews. It's not sophisticated and don't smell expensive at all. This one is very synthetic and usual. There are many scents like this (adidas, oldspice etc). I am glad I finished one bottle for gym and I am not gonna buy this again.

I purchase this as blind buy, the first spray on my hand was pleasant, the very next day I decided to wear it. What a disaster, it smelled awful on me, I was so happy when I could no longer smell that stinky scent. In to the trash it went when I got home.

I dont like this at all but it lasts long

I bought this blind because it was cheap and I wanted a pure amber scent that wasn't overly feminine. With that being said, I wasn't disappointed. Now, I paid like less than $20 so keep that in mind. It indeed does smell synthetic but overall pretty pleasant. You wouldn't think it was as cheap as it is upon smelling, but don't expect anything of unbelievable quality. When I smell it, I get a powdery sweet amber with an underlying essence of wood. Kind of like an inexpensive nod to YSL's l'homme intense... not to remotely imply the fragrances are identical though. I'd say they're in the same family. It's of moderate siillage - when I put it on, my partner would get whiffs of it as I'd move around the room. It's longevity for me is around 5 hours, and fragrances don't tend to stay on my skin very well. I'd give it a solid 8 out of cheapie a, but overall more of a 6. I'd still say a 6/10 is pretty great considering it's price. If you like sweet ambers and want something casual for the office perhaps, I'd definitely add this to your collection to try out especially since it's so inexpensive.

Not surprisingly, the aphrodisiacal properties of Gray Amber – a natural Sperm Whale secretion – have made it a precious ingredient in perfumes ever since ancient times, equally popular among Greeks, Romans and Egyptians. The contrast between fresh marine scent and warm sensuality is the secret behind this rare substance becoming a strong symbol of virility. Spicy top notes, Thyme and Cinnamon, merge in an intensely masculine heart of Incense, Black Ebony and Clary Sage. In the dry down, Gray Amber takes on a quasi-mythical quality, blending richly with Opoponax and Benzoin.

Pretty good scent, mayby too much syntetic but it's normal for the price. Sillage and longevity are great, 8h and more...

Woody and amber..and its likeable. I like the bottle's simplicity design but I dont understand why they put 74 on it..

very weak performer and used to be cheap.
