Bel Ambre

Bel Ambre is a sweet amber scent with a nice powdery texture and leather undertone. It reminds me of scents like MFK Grand Soir and Amouage Material, but is more subtle and has a little more going on. BA is a sweet amber scent from initial spray, with some saltiness evident from the beginning, making for a well-rounded amber accord. The vanilla note is powdery and dry, the way I like it, melding with the amber from the beginning. There is an aromatic green undertone, a nice if subtle counterpoint to the amber. The powdery orris note follows after a little while, slightly earthy and rooty, the perfect accompaniment to the sweet amber. Iris is my favourite note, and its placement here is lovely, if a little subtle for my liking! The caraway adds sweet spice, marrying beautifully with the vanilla and iris in particular. Some vetiver adds dry woodiness here, subtle and seamless. It becomes softly musky as it dries down, the amber accord becoming increasingly leathery. It fades to a powdery, musky vanilla-amber skin scent with an aromatic herbal edge that feels masculine to me. Sillage and longevity are moderate. It is a unisex sweet amber scent, best worn in autumn/winter. Smooth and elegant throughout, BA is a subtle, inoffensive example of a sweet amber scent with some points of interest, notably the use of orris. It is very well-blended throughout, good-quality and immensely pleasant. 4/5.

Juniper berries introduce amber, spice, and musk with an aged old leather undertone that is kept young by the Vetiver. There's a rich booziness to it, too. I don't perceive much citrus although it must be there to balance out the denser notes. I want to say there's something like cumin in it due to the ever so slight funk that comes and goes, but that's more likely the effect of the caraway. I need more than a sample of this, and if you're a deep amber/musk/leather fan, you will, too.

I am a huge amber perfume fan. Most Amber perfumes typically stay sweet and heavy. I'm really enjoying this one because it's a light-hearted, powdery amber. The top notes are amazing when first sprayed..its like a symphony...so beautiful. When dry, orris keeps it powdery and base notes are present without hijacking the entire fragrance. Leather is not heavy by any means, so if you dont like leather in perfumes, dont let this note scare you off...its detectable, but soft.

I love Orris and here its mixed with soft, mild Amber. Beautiful. Sensual. Elegant. Mystic. Not a typical male scent. Not a typical female scent. A bit sweet, A bit skinclose, A bit teaseing and a bit ghostly dancing around you. Love Love Love Samplekit

Wow! I'm pleasantly surprised, this is an absolutely stunning amber perfume with delicate, mysterious powder notes. Can't get enough of this one. Warm and spicy scent, perfect for Autumn dates and winter walks. Beautiful amber!!
