Ambre Supermassive

I'd never heard of this brand and kinda stumbled on this through reading various different reviews, as I'd reached a stalemate with my collection (in excess of 100) and wasn't in the mood for something too avant garde, rather was looking for some classic French perfumery akin to Goutal, Chanel and Hermes. This seemed like a reasonable best, as I enjoy FB blind buying, and accept the perils as part of the challenge within the hobby. Subjectively, this was a hit, within a couple weeks, I'd amassed 8 FBs and smelled another 3 or 4, as I bought quiet a few direct from them and they are pretty generous with their freebies, as are most Maisons. If you like ambers, you will love this. It's nothing new, it's not groundbreaking, in fact I think it's astonishingly overpriced, but I'd still buy it again, I'm tempted to buy the Vanilla one as well, and can't find it reduced *anywhere* so might have to bite the bullet and again pay full price as I more or less did with this one, with no regrets might I add. I will say, that the entire Maison is very high quality, in every sense, and I think Arnaud Poulain is simply an amazing artist in the way he plays with the naming convention that really has nothing to do with( in my humble opinion) most of the fragrances in hand, apart from a handful, this being one of them. There is a mishmash of Angel's Share, Grand Soir, Amber Fetiche, Side Effect, tiny hints of all the really good classic Ambres but maybe slightly underwhelming to the likes of Goutal, etc, but a must if you're into that, so I really really enjoyed this, and I must have or else I'd not have gone down the Maison's rabbit hole and purchased a huge amount from their collections in such a short time. I also loved Cedre, Oud and adored Moment Perpetuel, I despised the Neroli one. and the Champacs one was loved by myself and the wife, in fact we both loved them all in varying degrees of subjectivity. Anyway, I shall stop my ramble and will advise you all to give this and a few of Poulain's other creations within this line. God bless and enjoy :)

Review by Goran @perfume_and_style_addict Les eaux Primordiales A Captivating Journey with Ambre Supermassive by Les Eaux Primordiales Ambre Supermassive a fantastic smelling and interesting fragrane, it's an olfactory artistic creation that transports you to a realm of bold opulence and sensory delight. The fragrance is inspired by the mystical beauty of red amber. This enchanting scent evokes warmth, depth and sophistication with every drop. The opening notes are a dazzling explosion of fruity sweetness, where ripe peach, crisp apple and juicy pineapple mingle with fiery cinnamon and exotic sesame. This vibrant burst is quickly enveloped by a heart of intoxicating rum, velvety honey and luminous rose, infused with a tantalizing touch of spicy cardamom. As the fragrance unfolds, the rich base notes of amber take center stage, glowing like molten gold. Creamy vanilla, aromatic tobacco, musk and the precious warmth of saffron create a captivating and long lasting finish. Ambre Supermassive feels luxurious, seductive and unforgettable. Its cozy gourmand nuances and sophisticated spices make it the perfect companion for colder months offering a comforting and dynamic presence on the skin for over 10 hours. This is a must have for amber lovers and those who crave artistry in scent. With its bold projection and irresistible charm Ambre Supermassive is a radiant jewel in Les Eaux Primordiales exceptional collection. You need this fragrance @leseauxprimordiales

Niche December Contestant 19: First impression: This is a beast! A truly "supermassive" sweet-boozy-amber scent with long projection, well blended notes and a unique profile. It also has fruit notes in the top, which instantly gets you noticed if you have a fresh spray on. Main review: This one is very nice in terms of drydown. It becomes a skin scent if you're out and cooled down, but the moment something brushes against the spray spot, or you warm up, it instantly starts projecting and causing a scent trail behind you. It also has a tendency to imprint on clothes and household items (for example, mousepad or armchair) and to not go away completely for a very long time. If you take a steamy shower in the late evening, you sometimes smell it even if you applied it in the morning. It also gets reactivated by other fragrances if you try to apply something else for the evening. It never truly disappears. It just goes dormant. But it is rather costly, with over 300€ per bottle, which is only partially justified by its insane performance. Overall: 9.5/10

A fragrance of contradiction. Rich yet diffusive. Opening with a fruity spiced cinnamon, then layering into this saffron, blonde tobacco, a touch of heliotrope powder, the warmth of liquor and vanilla, it's quite the smooth mix. Oh, and the bottle colourway is perfect and synesthetically pleasing - Warm orange glass with gold accents. This SHOULD be, on paper, something dense, thick, verging on cloying, but the same trickery has been applied to this that was used in the (dryer/less fruity) Ambre Superfluide... airy diffusion. And it's quite magical. It wears ( to me ) like a Quentin Bisch creation ( yeah he has his naysayers, but I respect his craft ). Long lasting, with sillage >>> projection. Gentle reminder to the lazy over-simplifiers. Saffron does not always = Baccarat Rouge. And Ambre Superfluide ( and by extension this ) was released a year before Angels Share, so it's copying nothing. It's its own creation.

Nice and similar to Ambre Superfluide. I didn't give it a generous spray since I want to sell the sample later. Don't know if on skin it las as expected for extrait concentration. However, I think it will give a everlasting but now shouting intimate but intese smell at the end if it final hours after the first 4-6 hours. Just like the Vanille supermassive I have. Edit: One hour later, it's so amazing! It's spices it's permanent vanilla amber with honey flowers. It's more sophisticated and profound and the superfluide version. It will be a luxury in any woman who wears it. It didn't open loud but it is strong and permanent!!! Very potent!!! Edit: 48 hours later, I set on sofa and suddenly I smell in the air it is full of Ambre Supermassive. I found the strip was left beside on the sofa two days ago....I took the strip and smell, it is very potent still. I think it will last forever, just like Vanille supermassive.
