Ambre a Sade

This is fragrance I have big difficulty to classify to any group. For sure it is sweet, kind of gourmand. For sure it is deep and sensual. My first impression was - another girly cloying mass market but I was wrong. More I’m using it than I have more impression that it is unique and very sexy. Now I can say it is fragrance for both genders that can be easily wear in any season but mostly during summer and spring because it is very bright and happy however it is warm. Amber is mostly ingredient of winter kind of fragrances but here is very well balanced with fruits, mostly wild strawberries and raspberries which are very prominent and natural. Sweetness is generated mostly by Tonka not by Vanilla which perfectly plays with cinnamon and earthy patchouli. It is at least worth to try but it can be HG for sweeter fragrance lovers.

It's so unusual! Strawberries, raspberries, caramel, leather and patchouli! It's gorgeous!!!! The berries are sublime; very real fruit! Very delicious!! It is truly divine!!! Sweet, juicy and dripping in deliciousness. The leather and patchouli are wonderful; earthy and herby and soft and creamy, warm and smooth. And the amber is very deep and sensual. Lovely lovely lovely. It is so light and heavy at the same time - quite thrilling. I love it. Really special perfume. Deep, sensual and delightful. Quite enthralling. I love it.

I am pleasantly surprised. I am surprised that i am pleasantly surprised. Most of the times my expectations turn out to be too high compared to the experience i get with any fragrance but this time it is just the other way round. I wanted to sample this amber fragrance as amber is something i utterly love. The reviews were a little offputting but amber is amber so i wanted to give it a go. it might be my angelic soul but i do smell and feel the perversion... this is dark and strong. Just not in the usual overpatchoulied,civeted, masculinised way. all the notes are there. Would expect a fruity or a gourmand. Sure. But this is not the usual teenager beebop. This one just pretends to be sweet and innocent but it has got a cold leather heart... This combination is very seductive. i cannot resist. The name is lying indeed. This fragrance has nothing to do with pain. It is pure pleasure. Touches me in a way not many fragrances can. And this one is only that much twisted to give the maximum excitement. Top notch. My next bottle. Update: longevity is just a few hours on my skin & it gets really quiet after the first hour... after 2-3 hours i can hardly sniff it even with up close to my skin :(

I Love this scent, on my skin it opens with an opulent sugary incense smell. It reminds me on Venice Beach California. It's warm and approachable like the scent of waffle cones in the air as you pass one of those hippy knick-knack shops, brimming with leather sandals and incense cones. It even has a tiny tiny hint of patchouli to keep the sugar high grounded. Just like venice it is sunny and fun with a seedy underside that comes out after a few hours. The leather and cedar remain to dirty things up after dark. I find the berry notes to be very well rounded and balanced nicely with the leather and caramel. I'm usually not a sweet perfume lover (as you can tell from my musky, woody, ambre laden favorites list) but this one is a winner, a grown ass woman can wear this without fear of smelling like Britney Spears. As a strange but very apropos aside... this scent blends BEAUTIFULLY with SUNSCREEN!! See... it is Venice Beach in a bottle.

Nice and comfortable. It's warm, fruity but not too sweet. This is my first time wearing it, I got a sample. Will wear it again to see how much I like it.
