Amber Flame

Omg I finally got my hands on it. They sell it in the most random beauty store in my area. All the perfumes were -40% today so I got it for like 10€. I had already smelled it in this store some time ago and I was so surprised that it was really unisex for something labeled as for men, and that it was not an "amber perfume" in the sense that despite the name, it smells very warm-spicy. Amber is Great by Zimaya makes my head hurt VERY bad so I'm glad I gave it a sniff despite amber lowkey being a trigger word bc of that💀 something about it was memorable enough for me to come back looking for it and I was so lucky to find out they put it on sale. Also I'm a gal and I will be wearing it so I think it's definitely unisex 😎

I don't know what batches these people are getting but i'd say it's around 80% similar to TF Tobacco Vanille. I have tested this multiple times and the only differences i could find is that it smells different on a tester strip for some reason and that the quality of the oils isn't as good. Maybe the vanilla in the drydown is a bit more airy compared to the OG, but that's it. Fenomenal for the price, i bought it for less than 10 bucks.

What a surprise. Beast mode,. It lasts as long as something from Xerjoff, 10+ hours. I tested all of their fragrances and this is the only one that really stood oud.. I prefer it over charuto tobacco vanille. 10/10-

Smells almost exactly like a wintery vanilla roiboos tea with a dash of spices and fruit. My first reaction as I tried this out in the store (in late summer) was "huh, that's quite charming - but who wants to smell like a teapot?" Then autumn set in over the next few weeks and I swiftly realized: *I* do! *I* want to smell like a teapot! Badly enough that I couldn't get this perfume out of my mind until I went back and bought it. This is a very charming warm and groundedly sweet scent - like a cozy living room on a cold, rainy evening. Not what I usually go for, but unusual enough to be worth it. The spices are *strong* at first but quickly mellow out into something warm and a little festive, leaving the tobacco (which really just smells like roiboos to me; more herbal than smoky) layered over a vanilla that's all tangled up in dried fruit. Emphasis on the *dried*. And that... seems to be the extent of the development, which is not at all a bad thing. Definitely a cold-weather scent. About as perfectly unisex as it gets. Sillage and longevity are both pretty strong; best used quite sparingly. Also of note: sweet scents often turn sickly on my skin as they dry down; this one behaves as intended, which is nice.

The opening is nice: warm spices & tobacco, but then it gets into a weird synthetic vanillic territory with a lot of clove, which I can't stand... So if you're able to test it, I'd advise to let it dry down on your skin to fully assess the smell.
