Soft Amber

I tend to gravitate toward LE's and I snatched these Oscar LE's when I saw them for a sweet deal a couple years ago. I love all the notes. The name says it all. It is indeed soft and all the notes here blend seamlessly and it's hard for me to decipher them. It open with a VERY mild orange-y patch. Neither being more dominant than the other. I get a wee bit of spice and floral but not distinctly iris. I think the amber gives it that warm balsamic feel, but it not really an amber scent. It works nicely as a seasonal transition scent, bedtime scent or just cuddling up with a good book scent. It reminds me of a much softer version of Nanette, definitely not the same but of a similar style. If you like Nanette as I do you're likely to enjoy this gentle gem as well.

I have just purchased this and from the bottle it smells just like amber should smell, but quite strong. I then sprayed it on my skin and it isnt as strong as I thought it would be from smelling the lid, although it doesnt chage on the skin.... still amber. It is quite a sweet gourmand amber compared with yves rocher voiles d'ambre for example. However, it is quite linear as others have said and on my skin it doesnt last long at all about two hours before it is just a faint powdery smell. On the positive I dont mind freshening up every so often so this isnt a problem for me and it is a lovely looking bottle and lid.

Agreeing with the previous review, a simple linear scent but a beautiful warm alluring one that doesn't do a "KAPOW" at your nose. It s so warm and inviting tha tno one would complain about. Reminded me of the dry down of Britney's Hidden Fantasy but this is much nicer without the cheap orange note (dont know why everyone calls it exotic and spicy,, it s just plain CHEAP) the iris in this keeps it feminine and spring-fresh. Granted that i do love amber scents.. I would definitely keep this in the collection which i dont do often with simpler scents.

My mom used to wear this. We together chose it for her in a taxfree shop on a ferry. It really smells amber, really warm and comforting. It also is kind of powdery and heavy, so it's nothing you want to overapply. Unfortunately my mom broke her bottle, so the bathroom smelled of this a really long time after. She was really upset about it since it was her favourite back then.

This is indeed soft. It is ambery. It is inoffensive and frankly, a bit boring. Nothing is loud in it, no notes stand out or are over the top. It is a comfortable fragrance and longevity is STELLAR---14 hours easily on my skin. It didn't wow me, but it also didn't repel me so there we are. The patchouli is faint enough to be palatable to even those that don't like patch, and this is a safe office-type perfume. The bottle is pretty cute, though I won't be buying any more of this line as this one didn't bowl me over.
