December Ambar

Update: The longevity of this perfume is now enormous and so is the projection. Stays on my clothes for ages, and now that it's more mature, it smells sweeter, denser, you can pick up the saffron and cinnamon notes, together with some pepper over a base of amber. What a masterpiece for such little money! I just received my bottle. First impression is good. It's a very different fragrance. Not common. To me, raw as it is, not maturated, smells like pumpkin pie, actually I smell raw tobacco. If tobacco had a flower (which has and I've never smelled) I imagine it would smell like December Amber. It's sweet, it's spicy, like saffron but for me this feels like pumpkin or tobacco or something I cannot put my finger on. I have the vanilla version and love it. I'm not sure if I will ever love this one, but I see myself wearing this to cut the gourmands during the winter, for staying at home on a rainy day, or even to go out but to a very cozy place. Loved the library analogy. This perfume is exactly that. A winter afternoon in a library with a burning cinnamon apple candle. It would be a good combination to layer with an orange/mandarin fresh citrusy fragrance. I'll update if it evolves with time.

Ugh I love this. VERY spicy scent. You can def smell all the spices you have in the notes plus I dont know why, but I also smell a little ginger. Its not very simple and linear spicy scent, alot more complex than that. The green apple note gives it a little sour edge. If you are a amber and spice scent lover, this is for you. ’Cause I have alot spicy scents, but this is totally different than anything I have ever owned or smelled. Personally, I don’t get much plum in this, nor vanilla. So if you’re looking for those notes, skip this. I blind bought this and I’m so glad it worked out.

Very nice sweet amber perfume. The anis seed isn’t too much. Im getting a fruity and spicy/amber scent bubble. Looking forward to seeing how the perfume matures. So far so good. I got this on Aroma Concepts TikTok shop on Black Friday for $17, it’s normally $30-40. So I’m happy with my purchase! Update. After 3 days of wearing this perfume I can say it’s a love for me. It’s long lasting too! The amber is perfect for the cold New England winters we are about to head into. Super cozy.

Update - the aniseed and apple have softened to allow the notes that I enjoy to shine through. I got my first compliment today wearing it. Patience paid off. I would say projection has improved as well. First review May 23rd - I am not sure if it's the aniseed or the apple that I don't like in this fragrance - probably both, but the rest of it is good. I enjoy wearing it, it's different, I just hope it ages to where the coconut, vanilla and amber become more prominent.

Omg this is incredible, sprayed it and wasn't sure for like 10 seconds then kept smelling my clothes for the next two days! It is a beast, on clothes stayed literally 48 hrs till I wanted to wash them. The longer it stays the better it gets, the spice here is amazing and such a compliment getter. Will definitely be restocking

Omg, this is truly beautiful! I’m shocked how amazing this smells and performs, projects well over 8 hours on me. Truly smells very high end and niche! Purchasing a back up bottle ASAP. 01/30: update cold here in Florida and this is even performing Better! Second bottle ordered.

This has quickly become my favorite. Amazing projection and longevity literally stays for days and days on clothes. Perfectly spiced and very sexy. I blind bought my first bottle and ordered two backups the next day after I smelled it. Might be my most successful blind buy.

I wanted a plum and vanilla fragrance and this one popped up. The notes are perfect for me. It's a spicy vanilla plum. Right now I cannot smell the Anise but I have a feeling that's gonna come with time. This perfume is only gonna get better.

The perfect holiday scent! On my skin I get a spicy, subtly smoky amber with stone fruits. Reminds me a lot of mulled wine in a fragrance. The dry down is a very classic, slightly powdery amber that I can't get enough of!

To me it smells like spicy plum, can't smell rose or coconut at all. But it is such a warm, spicy smell that I can't have enough of it. It is super long lasting and I can't wait for the winter to wear it more often.

I don't love or hate this. I don't think it is very Amber forward, despite the name. The first notes I get are the apple, plum, and moss. Wearing this feels like being in an old bookstore or library. There's an autumn apple candle burning in the background while you touch the dusty books. If you enjoy English Major by Sorce, I think you'll enjoy this.

I'm so glad the rose is barely detectable by my nose in this, I have been looking into more amber fragrances and I think this is sweet but not so overpowering. I'm sure it projects but I like how it just melts into my skin and doesn't feel like it's just a scent over it.

This is very masculine and has a strong woody spice smell. Normally I am not a fan of this combo at all but I find this one to be more tolerable. Not something I'd choose to wear

Smells like an amber candle. Super synthetic and screechy and the apple note dominants the entire fragrance. Hate this. It would make a perfect room spray however

Intrigued by the note pyramid, I was really excited to try this. Sadly, I discovered that the combination of apple and anise (which I both enjoy btw - separately) smells like straight up toilet cleaner to me. That vibe is then carried on through by the saffron. To me, it gives heavy cognitive dissonance; like sexy, resinous vanilla layered with a pungent cleaning product. Just... why?? Might be worth a try for a for someone with less sensitivity towards aromatics, I guess, but definitely not a fragrance for me. Unisex, but leaning masculine due to the aromatics.

Perfectly unisex, great performance and a complex scent profile. Very oriental. The opening is fruity but not juicy-more like the flesh of the fruits, green apple and plum. The spice (Aniseed) is also very prominent. It develops around a nice rose similar to the one in December Rose but less pronounced and as it settles, it gets warmer from the amber and vanilla. It dries mossy/woodsy too. Overall it’s a nice fragrance, very different from the other two and worth collecting.

This is very projecting! It’s giving me slight nostalgia for some reason. It has a piece of a fragrance I have/ or had in my collection, and I can't figure it out 😞. I am definitely getting the saffron, some rose, amber, and spiciness. I find it could be unisex too 🤔 Edit Am I crazy? But I’m getting a piece of Delina Exclusif in the dry down. Obviously less Rose, more Amber and Vanilla. Am I crazy?😅

This is very reminiscent of Teriaq Intense, but instead of going in a mineral or metallic direction, it leans into a creamier lotion kind of profile. Quite redundant if you already own Teriaq Intense.

Mature and medicinal. 😕 Gonna let it sit for a few months but I might have to let this one go.
