Ambra Mediterranea (Versilia Vintage Ambra Mediterranea)

What a fabulous amber! At first, coriander seed and orange rind dance together, creating so much electricity that - whoof! - they quite literally smoulder. There is a good hour with this perfume that it's predominantly a lovely smoky wood, with all the warmth and dryness that implies. There's a little salty airiness to this as well, which I suppose is the 'Meditarranea' part. This mellows into an amber-patchouli that should, by rights, smell ordinary, but has just enough edge to keep it fascinating. The sillage, interestingly enough, is quite vanillic and almost sweet, but I can barely smell anything vanilla with my nose to my wrist. It makes for a lovely contrast. Definitely unisex - truly unisex, I should say. I don't want anything softer or feminine from it for myself, but I also think it would smell amazing on a guy.

vahidshams vahidshams من این عطر و خریدم و به جرات میتونم بگم که یکی از عجیب ترین عطرهای موجود این عطر هست چرا چون که هر دفعه که ازش استفاده میکنم یه بوی متفاوتی داره نمیتونم چرا ولی اینجوری خیلی بوی کوچه پس کوچه های بچگیمو میده انگار رفتم تو دوران ۱۰ سالگیم من تو دفعاتی که زدم این عطر و تو نت میانی یکبار بوی کنزو جانگل معروف میداد یکبار بویی مثل ام سون یکبار بوی سی اچ یکبار هم بوی کیلیان خیلی برام جالبه که این همه نت های عطر تغییر میکنه ماندگاری و پخش بوی بسیار عالی داره بطوریکه روی کت و شلوار بعد از سه ماه هنوز بوش میومد پخش بوش هم تو هوای سرد به اندازه ی یک سالن جشن بزرگ رو پر میکنه واقعا عالی هم مدرن هم کلاسیک فقط نمیدونم چرا شیشه این عطر تغییر کرده اونم آنقدر زیاد

Multidimensional amber that doesn't feel cluttered or heavy straight upon hitting the skin like most ambers do. Instead, it changes mood periodically and quite seamlessly, elegantly - incense, herbs and minerals, resins, at one point even soapy on my skin, then back to just a hint of vanilla... Lots and lots of facets so the richness of this amber is in versatility and such lightness, yet 24 hour-longevity. Pure bliss for amber lovers and the best amber I encountered sofar.

I've been holding onto a decant of this for the longest I'd love to come across a fb at some point but I won't hold my breathe. Such a deep, rich, smokey resinous amber. Noticable sea breeze, floral, warm air nuances very reminiscent of a Mediterranean night. Another thing I imagine is a bowl of Italian ice cream dashed in a single shot of cognac especially in the dry down it's something about it giving off a boozy element. Sexy $h!+

For a first ten minutes its the best amber i have smelt, its like a burning amber vulacno, crazy! 10/10 Then going down to something between Laddm and Lonestar memories drydown with a hint of Prada Amber pour femme. This note, maybe patchouly, maybe its tolu balsam.. 9/10 All in all, best amber in company with Laddm and L'Occitane's Ambre
