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.

I'm beginning to understand this company's thought process: they're like a 50-year old dentist buying a Harley and leather jacket then driving it around at about 20 mph. He's still a dentist but he can pretend he's a bad MFer when he snaps up his leather collar before riding the hog to Home Depot to pick up some weed n feed. If he ever does open it up on the freeway he'll end up running it into the ditch because he doesn't really know how to be wild. This is how you sell a mild berry scent with a name that refers to sexual fetishism and get people to give you $150+ for a bottle. (Before I comment on the juice I suggest you reread the description above and notice how little of it actually refers to the perfume or helps you understand what it is. There's method to this madness. While the fog of that description is swirling in your head you may not notice how vague the description is but may fall for the lifestyle promise.) In any case this is a well-done berry scent with defined strawberry and blackberry. There is an implication of vanilla or caramel but it requires some educated sniffing to find it. That's it. That's all. Life on edge obviously. I am very close to organizing a boycott of this company and the fraud I believe they perpetrate on perfume lovers. I'm only holding back because I fear I'll find myself in their headquarters some day with a bag of rocks and a slingshot screaming "Purple haze this!" "Eat cold coffee in an atelier!" "Up your dancing frescoes!"; and they're definitely not worth going to jail for. Sillage: 2-3 feet Durability: 4-5 hours Fabulosity: Strawberry Shortcake (the doll) Price to value ratio: nonexistent -3/10 (Yes, that's a negative number)

My 1st sampling of it and I am not impressed. Overload on berries and caramel. Not too much else going on. I don't pick up any leather/cedar notes. I almost blind bought it when LuckyScent was getting rid of it at reduced prices and am happy I did not. Much better suited on women than males.

"We are caught in 'fragrant delight'?" How about "We succumb to a diabetic coma?" Honestly, I would never, ever have guessed that a perfume named AMBRE A SADE could be a confectionary fragrance. And yet this Nez à Nez composition really is much closer to a loukhoum than to a leather perfume. I actually donned this creation tonight in the hopes of finding something along the lines of Parfum d'Empire AMBRE RUSSE, only a bit less hard hitting. Well, AMBRE A SADE is definitely less Russian--there is no dark black tea note--but it's also conspicuously devoid of leather, at least to my nose. Instead, the fruity opening cedes very swiftly to a loukhoum-like candy drydown. It is less sweet than the Keiko Mecheri trio or Montale SWEET ORIENTAL DREAM or Serge Lutens LOUVE, but the nougaty aspect is hard to deny. I'm sure that anyone who bought this blind for the name was very, very disappointed. It should have been named MARSHMALLOW PEEPS.

Sweeties, sweeties and more sweeties!!! MMMmmmmmmm - this had me reaching for a pack of love hearts! The only one I read was 'I surrender' and I did! Strawberries, raspberries, caramel .... what a concoction! Oh God make heaven smell like this for me pleaseeeeee??? Very little difference on the dry down for me - just sweet and more vanillary! I don't seem to get any amber, patchouli or cedar at all - nose from wrist delicious and nose to wrist sublime!! It doesn't smell chemical sweetie to me at all. However, a good question is where to wear (or even what to wear with0? So far I've only had this on in the house or popped up the shops - I can imagine it being quite cloying in a restaurant and at work it may give others a headache! Has a great longevity so only a little is needed! Thats a good thing with the price! Silage will scent your home out with one dab !!!! One for the gourmand sweetie lovers methinks!!!

The initial blast on my skin is warm and fruity -- juicy strawberries and blackberries drizzled with thick caramel and creamy vanilla. Within minutes the berries are cloaked by the smoothness of the tonka and the warmth of the amber while the scent continues to hold on to its sweet characteristics. I find AMBRE A SADE very appealing. The luscious concoction has enough touch of complexity in the mixture of the notes. The caramel and fruit notes continue to dominate while the amber, tonka and cinnamon successfully remain noticeable in the background. The patchouli and cedar are both undetectable on my skin, which is not necessarily a bad thing, it's already an addictive scent to my nose. Longevity is a plus at over 8 sweet hours.

This is soooo strange. Up close it smells really awful, mean and nasty... Like something that can not stand a closer look. But from a distant, a light spray on the wrist or on my husband it become really delicious. Sweet, light, warm and also unique. It make me smile and feel comfy... as long as I remember not to put my nose against my wrist! Even tough I feel tempted to do so all the time. Maybe it ́s a matter of skin chemistry? It would be amazing to smell it on somebody that it ́s really suit. Longlasting, huge sillage and a fun and flirty take on amber. (As long as you don ́t come close of course). Try with caution, I guess the smell could be nauseting on some...

Ambre a Sade opens with sweet realistic strawberries on me, with a a gooey sweet substance underneath which resembles the smell of gouache somehow. I can detect a bit of leather, patchouli and berries as well. I wouldn't disregard this as a common straightforward confection. It is only towards the end when it begins to smell somewhat "edible", but before that it's a strange leathery-gouache stuff with a hint of sweet strawberry. For some reason I expected it to smell like Miss Dior Le Parfum, but it doesn't... not really. Actually, I'm really enjoying Ambre A Sade, it is a unique scent and addictive, too.

This is not really a great fragrance for men, it smells like a polly pocket or care bear scent. Powder sherbet and chewy taffy mix with pink yellow and turquoise plastics, the felt of a sylvanian family member. Though light enough for the spring or summer, the cinnamon spices it up for a winter party, the blackberries are ripe and colourful. It's very pleasant but aside from its girlish contented sweetheart it isn't (for my tastes) remarkable. A nice association of toy rooms and birthday cakes for a lady with a nice smile.

Ambre a Sade is all about strawberries dripping in caramel. This is the fancy dessert on the cart that the waiter brings to the table and presents to the group with a flourish of the hand. The room goes silent as caramel slowly drizzles down the mountain of strawberries. Soon the customers are drunk on the strong smell of strawberry and caramel in the air. If you love very strong gourmond fruity scents, then this one is for you, but I'd recommend it be used with a light hand or beware!

When I first sampled this I thought CHERRY BERRY & VANILLA BUBBLE GUM! seriously? It actually smelled like a joke at first, with an overwhelming thick and chewy opening, Thank heavens the dry down is not so childish. The amber and vanilla warm up and take over, it becomes deeper, richer and more mysterious, although still gourmand... I would say that it's along the same lines as pink sugar, and Acqua e zucchero so I cannot believe a man would choose to wear this one.

Wow it opens all strawberries, big time! Vanilla comes into play shortly after but the strawberries are still so prominent. It smells sort of like the hair of those strawberry shortcake dolls we had when we were kids (I think I'm dating myself). I like it, I like sweet scents, but I don't get enough of the other interesting notes to make me want to purchase.

I tested today Ambre a Sade,with the thought that it would be something really dark and divine.Well I was totally wrong this is at the sweet side,a berry ambery perfume that you can call sweetheart when you first smell it.Who would give such a name with notes of berries and caramel?;Don't be fooled by the name there's no perversion in it.

Do you think this is good alternative for Miss dior cherie 2005 versionversin? I'm very disappointed new one just came out this year.....

This girl at Luckyscent told me all the perfumes of Nez a Nez are discontinued. What a shame!

Soo magic in my skin,today a buy it.Sweet and caramel amber unify smell.
