Ambar

Ambar (not only) for women It's light and subtle almost like a cologne but, nevetheless, it's very addictive. Use it with the spring and fall mild temperatures, as well on summer nights. The scent lingers lightly in the air around you . It's an agreable and easy to wear fragrance that will never offend anybody. The bottle is very preety, with an almost opaque ambery golden colour. It also stands out in any shelf. The evolution starts with some citrus and heavy mandarin, followed by dark green tea (together with an alluring peony note) and finishing with amber and cedar. Quite enjoyable and definitely a unisex scent. It's not to a compliment gather, but ment for you to enjoy it on your own, preferable at leisure. It's a perfect non intrusive office scent. It has got an inviting price, just like a cologne, making it easy for you to respray at your will. Let's check the math for Jesus de Pozo Amber: - Scent opening: 8.5 - Scent drydown: 7.5 (drydown nice but weak) - Longevity: 7.0 (up to 5 hours - 3 sprays) - Sillage: 6.0 (up to an arm lenght with almost 1,5 hours of weak projection - 3 sprays) - Uniqueness: 8.5 (unique with its freshness for an amber scent) - Versatility: 9.0 (Use it almost everywhere although not the best choice for a night out or clubbing; fantastic for the office) - Wearability: 7.0 (Use it Spring, Fall and Summer nights). - Compliments: 5.0 (never offensive, agreable but not enough for compliments) - Quality: 8.0 (a bit synthetic; good quality flask and sprayer) - Presentation: 9.0 (quite nice) - Price: 10.0 (100 ml non tester for 10 Euros) Average: 7.77 / 10.00 - between 7 and 8 = above average; - between 8 and 9 = recomended; - bigger than 9 = don't miss it; Advice: For the price I paid, you can easily blind buy it! You may leave it in the toilets counter for a fresh amber after shower, or in the office for an easy respray. Music: Salvador Sobral: "Amar pelos dois"

Starts off with blurry, non-astringent citrus that persists for several hours. Beneath that, I can isolate what must be the amber accord (a synthesized, fictional accord, as true amber from prehistoric resin has no smell). It is exotic, slightly woody and resinous, non-vanilla, and there is a similar facet to Sarah Jessica Parker’s “Twilight”, although Twilight and Ambar have a radically different effect. If I spray Ambar (I love that name!) on before bedtime, by morning it has become a pleasant and rather unisex skin-scent, the citrus and amber melded into one. I still have to road-test it in tropical heat, but in winter in northern Europe, the scent so far has been dry (non-sweet), non-floral, unobtrusive, the perfect backdrop for, say, writing a thesis. The scent goes fast, since I need two or three sprays to really feel its presence. The bottle, full or otherwise, is a true gem, and suggests something far more medieval or mystical than the scent itself.

Just bought this blind in my quest for a spicy winter perfume and I was not disappointed at all. Lovely bottle and packaging and a very reasonable price, less than 8GBP for 30ml. At first spray it smells a bit like Cointreau, then the gentle spices kick in. My first thought was "Wow, you can tell this is Spanish" but to be honest, I don't know what "Spanish" should smell like. Maybe it was the tart orange opening scent. You can smell Cardoman, oranges, a whisper of vanilla (just enough to warm it up) and a warm finish. There is amber, spices and oranges. It smells very clean and fresh and wouldn't smell out of place on a man either. It was just what I was hoping for and since I bought it online and don't live near masses of perfume shops, I am pretty sure I will smell unique too. Excellent all round!

I wanted to smell this after buying it blind, but was already wearing scent. I sprayed it on a tissue and was greeted by the most pleasant and unexpected surprise: the sharp, soapy, floral scent of my grandmother's powder room in the 80s, when I was a little girl. I am certain that Ambar will develop differently on my skin than on tissue, but for this little bit of memory alone the purchase was worth it. I can't wait to spray this on a tissue for my mother and see her delight as she recognizes it, too. More later, when I've worn it... UPDATE: On my skin, Ambar is a very light, powdery fragrance. Amber is present, but subtly blended into a lovely mix of orange, flowers, and mild, herbal woods. It's airy, feminine, delicate, and quite lovely.

What a stunning perfume... I brought this blind (after swearing I would never blind buy again after a couple of bad purchases) but glad I ignored the inner me. Some reviews say this is a fresh scent not on me, I found it to be a warm scent very unique and very classy, this reminded me a little of the Armani Elle (grey version) which I wore several years ago. So beautiful on me that I will wear this for special occasions, evenings out etc as too beautiful as an 'every day' perfume. Sprayed on my wrist in the morning could still smell 4-6 hours later So taken with this little beauty that have already ordered another large bottle, think I may have just found my new signature scent :)

I'm wearing it now, and it's really a mild spicy floral. Really inoffensive, can't see anyone scrunching ching their nose at this one. It's also pretty similar to Felicity by Oriflame. However, Felicity is sweeter and more vanilla based, and as such better suited to winter, at least for the winter we experience in India. Amber lover's at the beginner level (like me :)) can surely give this one a try! Update - This is just Gorgeous in hot weather! Clean, fresh, calming and somewhat sexy too! With lasting power to boot!

I blindly ordered Ambar and kept my fingers crossed. I mean, Marie Salamange and Jesus Del Pozo sounded like a good mix to me, especially that I adored both Duende and Esencia de Duende by this house. It arrived today and, oh my! It did not disappoint. It's giving Esencia de Duende vibes and I couldn't be happier. I agree with everyone who said that the name doesn't quite fit the juice because it really is more like a citrusy tea. Fresh, delicate and simply beautiful.

A lovely close to skin fragrance, w/o the yucky musk so common in the "your skin but better" scents. Soft, refreshing, pretty, light, clean, and/but cozy/comforting. Has a nice warmth too. Fine all year, any time of day. Easy reach. Well-blended. Delightfully affordable, smells like a far more expensive fragrance. Another Marie Salamagne winner.

This is a very soothing fragrance. I boughht it blind and like it a lot! It is a bit soapy on my skin, fresh, very clean and elegant. Not offensive at all. Unfortunately needs to be re-applied often. But love it! Edit: i could still smell it on my scarf after a couple of days and it reminded me of Jasmin Noir. The amber, fantastic...

My number one for +/-10 years now. I don't ware it daily, I keep it for "special" occasions, as it makes me feel super sexy - in a mature way sexy: not sweet, girly, but like fully confident of herself woman :-) Deep red lipstick, high heels, the unobvious Ambar smell... you get the picture :-)

This is very Prada-ish. To me it smells like a mixture of Prada Iris and Prada Amber. I like both, so this is a winner for me. The bottle is pretty and unique. It's suppose to symbolise amber stone. I like the paperboard box too, creative idea. Very nice surprise, go get it! :)

This is citrusy and shower fresh in the beginning. You get a feeling on squeaky clean skin. Soon it warms up and turns to ambery soft goodness. IMO one of the rare ambers that can be used in summer heat too. Great everyday scent and perfect for office and casual wear.

This is a very nice one for everyday use. Fresh and oriental at the same time. There is not much of sweetness - good for office. It's also easy to bear - I can spray this three or four times a day and it still feels good and comfortable.

ottimo ed economico. si apre con note agrumate per assestarsi su ambra e cardamomo. i sentori di fondo sono arricchiti di legno di cedro e iris.

This a new fragrance from JDP.The bottle is beatiful and everithyng is linked to Ambar as color shape and smell.Congratulations for JDP:

It's light and subtle but, nevetheless, very addictive either when used with mild weather or during summer nights

great tea with spices scent the name is misleading but the more i wear it the more i like it

This fragrance has been described as citrusy and when I first sniffed the bottle I could really smell the citrus notes but once I sprayed it on me, the cardamom really tames the opening citrus notes and seconds into spraying this on my skin it takes on a very spicy exotic sweetness. Although there is no vanilla in the notes listed, I can definitely smell the faint scent of vanilla that seems to pull and blend the different notes into a creamy yummy concoction. Despite its name, amber is not a dominant note in this composition, at least not on my skin. There is just enough of it to warm it up but this is really a spicy, sweet and very exotic scent. As the fragrance starts to dry down the floral notes start to develop, giving it yet another layer and making it even more beautiful. This fragrance is multifaceted, very unique and very sweet but not in a “bubblegum” way, more like an exotic desert or pudding served during Diwali. Like an Indian bride, in a colourful flowing sari and dripping in sparkling gold, this fragrance is stunning. Very respectable silage and lasts a good 6-7 hours on my skin. EDIT: I don't know what happened but the longevity of this fragrance has dwindled on me. When I initially sprayed this the first time (from a tester) it lasted for hours and now that I have purchased a full bottle, I spray it on and it's gone in a couple of hours. I need to keep rapplying. At first I thought it was a fluke but after wearing this fragrance for several days I have decided that the concentration in the tester is NOT that which is in retail sale bottle. I'm gutted! Will not repurchase this again.

I agree with Nikkafragrance, this is a fairly masculine scent. Initially I get a blast of mandarin and cardamom, very soapy and sharp. After a few minutes the cedar, tea notes and bergamot begin to show up. Eventually the iris and amber make an appearance, and the peony only comes out on my skin type after about 6 hours. I'm quite fond of the final effect, a soft, warm, soapy, slightly sweet scent. However, I do wish that there were more peony in Ambar. It's a good intensity for the office, but just too masculine on me without adjustment. I find that pairing this with a vanilla infused moisturizer brings out the best in the scent, toning down the soapiness, and bringing out the spiciness of the florals. A good staple for office wear. I think this would be a terrific scent for a man, and it reminds me quite a lot of CK One, which is unisex. If you are not comfortable with very soapy perfumes, don't blind buy this- but if you do like very herby green scents, this may be right for you. EDIT: In warmer and more humid weather, Ambar loses that masculine oakmossy edge on my skin, and instead develops something I can only describe as a deep purple plush tone...a really fascinating contrast to the bright clear amber intro. Very sultry, almost plummy, but not sweet. Just deep, dark, and very intriguing. Kinda like the shadow that emphasizes the light...

Ambar is now on the stores and yesterday I was able to try it. And it's a gorgeous scent! It opens very citrusy, very fresh bergamot and tangerine I guess, but not a synthetic citrus. No. A natural citrusy sparkling feeling that made me wanna purchase it right away! Then, it slowly calms and settled down to a blooming bouquet of peonies with an ambery feeling, but still it has that citrusy note that doesn't entirely fade away and remains for a long time. At this time, I was adoring the scent because is fresh but ambery and soothing. Very well blended, very well balanced... a perfect Fall scent! Then, in the base, I can still feel that ambery feeling, the citrus are gonne and I was left with a blend of iris and woods that instantly remind me of Prada Infusion d'Iris. Though, Ambar is a great scent. It's modern, uplifting, with character, it does have an ambery aspect to it (although not as much as some might expect because of it's name). It's young and vibrant and I recommend it!=) The sillage is OK and the lasting power is good for an EDT. Another remark: as all Jésus del Pozo fragrances, Ambar is very affordable (a bottle of 100ml can be purchased for 36.50€). So try it! You won't regret it!=)

To begin with, Ambar is not a fragrance for everyone. This is my first Jesus del Pozo perfume and I really like it, but I can't say I am crazy about it. On my skin it's quite masculine, which I actually enjoy. I wouldn't mind if the peony and iris were more prominent. The strongest notes I smell are cardamon, cedar, amber and tea. A daytime, inoffensive fragance with nice longevity. The sillage is not as intensive as I hoped, but it's OK. I think wearing this in spring would be a nice experience. Another lucky blind buy thanks to Fragrantica! UPDATE: The more I wear it, the more Ambar grows on me. I really enjoy the drydown - it's so fresh and clean on my skin as well as on fabric. And last but not least the bottle is soo classy and elegant - I am gonna keep it for my collection. P.S: Longevity: 3 out of 6 Sillage: 4 out of 6 Juice: 5 out of six Packaging: 6 out of 6 Tip: Reapply more often.

This is a fragrance that I like to wear in the summer, when I feel like wearing an oriental, but often don't due to the heat and humidity. This is one of the lightest orientals I own and I think actually works better in the summer. I like cardamom quite a bit as a spicy note, as it has a bit less of an edge than pepper and cinnamon. The tea note is very nice here and lighter than what I expected, and the flowers (peony & iris) are quiet too. I especially like that it isn't all bogged down with vanilla, which unfortunately makes me want to puke more often than not these days. This sets lightly on your skin and has very little projection, also doesn't last long, so thankfully it can be found for a very low price. Not a bad choice for a blind buy, I initially bought it for the goofy little bottle, and now enjoy the scent also.

I'm very glad to find this little treasure Ambar is one of very few summery ambery fragrances..albeit not specifically summery,it's wearable all around year..fresh enough for warm seasons and warm enough for cold seasons..also not that much amber dominant It opens with spicy citruses,there is lots of cardamom and tangerine..I like it more when middle and base notes start to show up..Tea,amber combo it's kind of lovely especially besides iris and woods Ambar is a spicy,citrusy,woody,ambery oriental..there is a little of everything good in perfumes here,sweetness,warmness,powderyness,freshness and spicyness (if it makes sense) I agree it can pass as unisex but I'm OK with it Longevity and sillage are moderate and I really like it's bottle, as the juice inside

What a great summer fragrance!! I agree on a lot that has been said already (like don't expect this to be dominated by amber or cardamom), but I can add that it is not sharp in any way. It smells like an amber colored, orangepeel dominated tea with mild spices. A luke warm, unsugared tea that you are smelling from the cup, mild and plesant. It gives a serene feel-good, healthy sort of vibe. Sillage is next to nothing, BUT I could smell it REALLY well on myself, which was a very enjoyable experience! It's weak, used a lot (10 sprays) and it lasted about 5 hours on my dry, perfume eating skin Update: projection is so much bretter in cooler weather and it works great as a fall fragrance too

Blind buy. This is not oriental, nor floral. Woody, earthy, cool, bit soapy. Amber doesn't even exist here. The most dominant note is cedar, cedar and cedar (which I like a lot), with strong iris and tangerine notes. Peony, sage and cardamom are detectable, yet in a very suble way. The performance is poor. POOOOR... Hardly arm length sillage and the whole scent disappears in like 1,5-2 hours. Nice composition, but nothing strong, nothing unique here. Good for everyday use either on a warm day or in the winter, although I wouldn't pick this one for a date/special occasion. I may come back with an update on how it performs in hot weather.

This is NOT about cardamon, amber and tangerine. If you expect a winter Christmas fragrance, guess again. This is basically like a citrus fougere. There are all the citrus notes, sage in place of lavender but a lavender vibe nonetheless. Yes, some cardamon but NO AMBER. NONE. There is peony and lots of tea. No woods. No iris powder. So, expect a citrus tea fragrance with cardamon and some floral. I like it, but it is not what the notes were voted. As it dries down, it become more about the amber and cardomon but very dry, not sweet. Not vanillic. And the citrus disappears.

This is shockingly nice for the price. Very subtle, very soft, really unassuming. I wouldn't say it's an amber, it's more like suede, it's very soft almost a natural skin scent with a mild mix of spices/tea, some woodiness... overall mostly a 'skin scent' kind of thing. I think it works really well, and I'd love to have a bottle. Seems perfect for the end of summer. Really a steal at $20 USD for 3.4oz (100ml), this could easily stand up with the 'Molecule' series among other like minded fragrances. 7.5/10

This is really nice and pleasant. The opening is quite spicy to me with cardamom, but sweetend with very juicy tangerine. Amber is present everywhere in this fragrance, but it's not heavy, it's not overwhelming, it's gentle, slightly sweet and in a combination with that tangerine, it's quite fresh at some point. I can definitely see a man wearing this one too. Sits close to the skin. It's just so comfortable. Certainly I can imagine this suitable also for spring.

Преоткрих го сега, когато мислех, че не мога да го нося. Наистина красив, топъл и същевременно летен аромат. Има едновременно сладост, мекота и свежест. Много необичайна комбинация с кардамон и ирис, плюс останалите нотки. Не е типичен амбров аромат изобщо. В студено време пък е доста различен и ще трябва да пиша пак:) А бутилката е много красива. Допълвам: усещам също сладки портокали и кедър, който винаги ми харесва:)

On my skin Ambar is a soft whisper of Amber. Nothing special about it. Nice but I can live without it. Soft and tender Amber all around. I can't detect any spices what so ever... På min hud blir Ambar en mjuk viskning av Amber. Inget speciellt med denna. Trevlig men jag kan leva utan den. Mjuk och behaglig Amber runt mig. Känner ingen kryddighet alls i denna.

Had the pleasure of smelling it today.. It's pretty nice. It's very citrusy and ambery I suppose. It reminds me of the Alien Eau Luminescente mixed with a teeny bit of Duende .. It lasts a while..so far it's been 5 hrs I still smell it.. it is a nice everyday scent...I plan on buying it along with an awesome sexy kiss set i saw..ahhh

If you expect a prominent amber, you’ll be disappointed. If you forget about the name, you may be in for a pleasant surprise. Light citrus and cardamom-tea-infusion on a wooden floor. Doesn’t project much, but this is very good for summer days, where you don’t want to smell too citrussy. Good value for money. Deffo unisex

Charming bottle, fits very well. Fresh herbs and balsamic heart on powdery drydown. Citruses are discreet and relatively short lasting. After several hours I can still feel green tea with a little pinch of cardamon, and strong cedar note. Peonies are detectable also, which makes this scent more feminine. Classy.

Such a soft and feminine scent...sweet amber, spices, with a hint of citrus. Delicious stuff! It reminds me of Amber Romance from Victoria Secret. Although this one is way better, since is richer & it lasts longer. It's perfect for everyday ware; it's a calming and soothing scent.

I didn’t like it at first when I blind bought it last year, but it grows on me this spring. It smells comforting, quiet, delightful, no particular flower note comes forward. Trully well blended, may be not extremely original, but not like everything else on the market.

This could easily fit in Annick Goutal range - Ambar definitely shares some goutal signature notes with Mandragore, Nuit Etoilee and Eau d'Hadrien.

A wonderful fragrance, my mom simply fell in love with it. It's fresh and spicy at the same time, also warm and a bit bitter.

Amber, amber and amber - fresh and sliughtly sweet.. quite cheap too! 6/10

Refreshing tea and citrus scent for hot weather , unisex

Lemon crisp. Lovely amber glass bottle

Nice and good spanish perfum!!!

It is a silent soapy warm fragrance with some herbal touch. Sounds like a pale shadow of some gorgeous composition, which should have been far more vivid. I really feel sorry for this fragrance, as I think that the idea to make it less concentrated and less distinctive, is purely marketing thing :( I like the flacon, its smooth forms and retro style. It evokes associations with some popular bijou and interrior decorations of amber and brass, which you can still find in Lithuania, as combination of amber and copper elements in bijou and decorative objects for interiors is a part of local tradition. I have a feeling that primarily a composition of the fragrance would fit this amber-like flacon perfectly. ps. it could be my skin which doesn't allow to open this fragrance, although as a rule amber works well on it, but even on the blotter this fragrance just fades away in 10 minutes or less.

I don’t consider this an amber fragrance, it’s more like a woody tea perfume with citrus. Pleasantly light with soft sillage, a good office scent, but overall I think there are better fragrances in this category.

At first it's too spicy, too much cardamom, in a bad way. After a very few minutes it becomes a lot better, very fruity and loud, softer than before but not completely nice to my nose at all. The drydown is the best part of all by far. Finally we can smell the amber and enjoy a warm sweet kind of oriental scent.

First, it's not as ambery as you might expect given the name. The amber is there but in the background. The top is citrus and spice. The middle is a beautifully realized herbal tea. Ambar is quite unisex in the style of Eau de Cartier. It would be a perfect fragrance for close quarters or the office. It's pleasant, distinctive and it still manages to be non-fatiguing. The longevity isn't the best - maybe a few hours, but lovely while it lasts. Over the last few months, I've reached for this often on warm days. The crisp, spicy start makes this a lovely amber for summer when many ambers are too heavy. I also like that there's no patch to make the base note smell unclean. It's too bad this one didn't really catch on with the masses. It's a well done scent.

I enjoy Ambar. It was a blind purchase a couple of years ago, as I was looking for a Spiced Oriental. It has a pungent dried orange peel simmered in tea pleasantness to me. Very natural, would not be out of place to smell it off the body, as in a delicious spice cabinet. Feels like that indescribable woodsy freshness experienced during a brisk walk in the autumn breeze. For this reason I see it as a cool weather scent, although I can understand why some enjoy it in warm weather, as it is soft and gently exotic, for nights of dancing and sipping Sangria. It does stay close to the skin which makes it quietly sexy. I have other JDP scents and I love them all in various degrees.

"It has a pungent dried orange peel simmered in tea pleasantness to me. Very natural, would not be out of place to smell it off the body, as in a delicious spice cabinet. Feels like that indescribable woodsy freshness experienced during a brisk walk in the autumn breeze" lilysong24 contributed the perfect description of this fragrance... I found it after searching for another J. Del Pozo perfume (from the Arabian Nights collection) which I was unable to find anywhere. It's nothing groundbreaking, but pleasant and a decent blind buy considering the price. Mostly a skin scent, but the batch I need up with might be several years old. Very unisex. Pretty bottle.

It is a summer amber fragrance. Reminds me of Ambre Nue by Atelier Cologne layered with Green Tea by E. Arden. Amber is a fantasy note, so you can create any perfume and call it "Amber". This is not your traditional vanillic, warm, animalic, spicy amber... It opens with green tea note, and dries down to polite woody, dry, soapy scent. There's something mineral / oceanic about it, like finding an actual amber stone on the beach. True unisex. Cool bottle. It's nice, doesn't look cheap. Moderate projection, I get 2-3 hours longevity. I think it's great for amber lovers; you can wear it when it's hot and humid.

A rich citrus-amber-tea concoction that is not too loud, too sweet, or too strong, even with 5-6 sprays before I left the house this morning. Sometimes amber can be cloying, but this one is balanced nicely with the tea, citruses, and sage. I could see this one being unisex quite easily. The bottle is gorgeous, like a scultped chunk of amber on your vanity. My only beef with this scent is that the longevity is not great---barely 4 hours in and it's only a skinscent. Perfect for this sunny cool autumn day. Would repurchase even despite the longevity, as it was inexpensive and is really a lovely scent.

Ambar is enjoyable - a modern and fresh twist on an amber fragrance. A well done interpretation! I suppose why many here state this fragrance to be masculine is based in the absence of flowers and sweetness. I for one am no flower girl. I just don't enjoy them overmuch. So this is dead on for me. The amber is light, combined with cardomom and sage. It is a summer fragrance, light, but with enough sillage and longvity to let it become a light amber with cedar and iris. Still no bomb, but delightfully playful. I'd say it is for the young of heart and looking for a low priced summer fragrance.
