Amber

Amber, what can I say? For context, I’m a huge fan of Samphire (my signature scent) and deeply admire Laboratory Perfumes for their cruelty-free approach to perfumery. That being said, the name "Amber" is a bit misleading. This isn’t your typical warm, cozy, wintery amber. Instead, it’s fresh, green, and peppery—more akin to an after-shave than a traditional amber scent. The similarity to Aventus and its many clones is striking, but honestly, Amber does it better than all of them. I don’t think Amber was created as a direct clone of Creed’s flagship fragrance; it stands firmly on its own. Additionally, it offers impressive longevity (3 sprays will easily last 8-10 hours) and medium/great sillage. I’d recommend wearing it during fall, early spring, or on cooler summer nights, as that’s when it truly shines. Rating: 8.5/10

MMmm...I can see why the fellas have pounced on this lovely. I love the intense spicey greeness. I like the salty seashore aspect of the ambergris. This is very unisex for me. Its not sweet or powdery but its fresh like a new crisp white cotton shirt. If your not into florals or other perfumey fragrance then I would recommend this for the gals. Its not harsh enough to make it very masculine. I cant say it develops much although the spiciness does recede quite a bit in the first hour. It just remains bright, green, a touch aromatic with the smell of the sea in the distance. I get moderate sillage and longevity.

I quite like this, although I was expecting it to be a bit warmer and rounder. It's dry, peppery, and has a clean, soapy, wholesome vibe. If was a person, out would be a nice, young Mormon man. EDIT: a couple of days later, I've really fallen in love with this. It develops into something deeper and gently muscular. Slightly sweet and spicy. It lasts for ages too!

beautiful smell, have never tried aventus but I love this, amber, powdery , spicy drydown, love it

Won't compare it to Aventus since I never smelled that. What this DOES smell like is Armaf's Club De Nuit Intense Man but without that strong alcohol opening. But on dry down, they smell extremely similar. Citrusy, smokey but not quite as strong as CDNIM but smoother. I'm digging it.
