Ambre Royal

The notes listed above don't describe this scent accurately. I get green & fresh notes throughout the perfume life. It is very easy to wear & completely Uni-Sex. Longevity is 6-8 hours & projection is solid enough to be detected around you for 5/6 hours. Smells nice & quality is obvious. Does it justify the price tag? Maybe but I am not sure. Overall, I liked this scent & will put it on my Wishlist but not high up the list. Someday I can buy a FB If I find a good deal but it will not be anytime soon. Edit: longevity is unreal. Lasts on clothes for days & leaves huge scent trail behind. Right up there in my wish list, however, I will try the elixir before I buy a full bottle. Edit 2: The above opinion was based on my 2ml sample, later I purchased a full bottle production date 2022 & I can 100% confirm it is not the same. The sample was more green, fresh & much more richer, also, the performance from the sample was unreal. I heard from some guys that it had reformulation but I am not sure. what is certain is that the sample is very different from the FB.

Ambre Royal is amber without excess. No syrup, no dessert sweetness, just warmth with structure. It opens fresh and refined, then settles into a smooth, resinous amber wrapped in soft spice and clean woods. The sweetness is restrained. It feels dry, tailored, and composed rather than plush or indulgent. What I appreciate most is the steadiness. It projects confidence without trying to dominate the room. In close quarters it feels intentional and controlled, present but never loud. If you prefer amber that feels grounded, calm, and quietly authoritative rather than sugary or showy, Ambre Royal delivers beautifully. For someone who prefers calm over chaos, structure over sweetness, and presence over projection, Ambre Royal fits naturally. It’s amber for someone who doesn’t want to smell edible... just solid. Scent: 8.5/10 | Longevity: 8/10 | Projection: 6.5/10 | Overall: 8.5/10

Hard fragrance to fully understand and put adequately into words. Feels complex but also simple. Starts off licorice-heavy on my skin. Immediately has a velvety, golden/amber hue quality to it. The drydown is what I'm still trying to wrap my head around. All I can say now is that it reminds me of the smell of apricot a little BUT mixed in with the licorice (not as strong as the scent dries down) AND with the velvety almost leathery characteristic. Performance from the sample I got is really good - lasts at least 8 hours and sticks to clothes for at least 24 hours. Personally, this is a unique smell to me and is a masterpiece in my book...but I can also see this not working for some..which makes it even more desirable to me because it's not for everybody...it's a definite buy in my book and will be in my collection.

It is really nice but I'm not sure it's worth the big price. I get a big ambroxan opening. I then get the osmanthus and Amber. Ambroxan is sort of transparent and all enveloping with its big sillage. Gradually you can pick out the floral notes. It is a warm and quite sweet scent. I can see what others mean about a similarity with Mugler Alien. I don't pick out jasmine though. It is curious how it seems to keep getting warmer. It becomes a big Amber bomb. I do like the way the osmanthus seems to really last but I suspect that it is an illusion created by the other notes. A lovely scent for a night out with friends. I'm not sure I find it sexy. Sexy for me means it draws your lover in closer. They don't need it with this because of the big sillage. I'm sure it's a great compliment getter.

Working my way through the (now discontinued) travel set . This was the first one I tried . Beautiful scent . Luminous , sparse and very summery. Youthful without ever becoming juvenile. And delicate without being overtly feminine. Unfortunately for me it becomes a skin scent within the hour , perhaps some ambrox induced anosmia (?). will try again after moisturizer and see if that helps, but it's glorious in all its facets! Unusual and delicate , but so elegant it's hard to describe. The fruit is very subtle , the floral aspect is almost transparent but as bright and warm ... this is more Ambre than floral and very much unisex in my opinion. I think my wife will like this one too , maybe it lasts longer on her skin ... Easy to wear and very pleasant indeed .
