Florence Amber

So for me Roberto Cavalli has mostly been misses for me in my younger years due to well blind purchasing two Cavalli fragrances because I was fooled by the test strips and how good they smelt. In short younger me was stupid. Anyway and I can't believe I'm saying this but I may have found one I really like...well love. And thanks to generous swap partner who gave me a decant of this. So to me Florence Amber comes off as somewhat warming, relaxing and not too loud. Upon spraying this on my hand. I get little hints of orange and cashmirewood but mostly thick, sweet honey. It's really intoxicating as I keep going back to my hand smelling it. I have a feeling I'll be buying a full bottle of this soon. I am genuinely surprised by how much I like this and it was another love at first sniff.

Bu koku harika bu zamana kadar nasil keşfetmemisim. Kesinlikle hakettigi degeri yeterince gorememişve fiyat olarak cok daha uygun. Bu koku eğitimli, klas kadin kokusu ama.asla bogucu degil. İcindeki sitrus kokari ve bal oyle guzel dengelenmiş ki hic kafa karıştırmıyor. Bu kokuyu kesinlikle tekrar alirim hem çok kalıcı hem de klas! Bence her mevsime de gider😍 Englis Below This fragrance is wonderful, how did I not discover it until now. It's definitely underrated and much more affordable. This fragrance is the scent of an educated, classy woman, but it's never overpowering. The citrus and honey in it are so well balanced that it is not confusing at all. I would definitely buy this scent again, it's very lasting and classy! I think it goes for all seasons😍

No reviews for this pretty scent yet? That‘s a shame, it‘s lovely! This is not an ambery scent like the name says, but a honey scent. Honey is a tricky note for me, sometimes I love it and sometimes it turns cloying or gross on me. This is an easy to wear honey that smells sweet and clean, not overwhelming in any way. The honey stays fresh on my skin for hours, thanks to the airy gardenia and the juicy fruits. The cashmere wood gives the scent a modern, creamy texture. Patchouli is only a whisper in the background and not very strong in here. I would put this roughly into one category with Elie Saab Le Parfum and JPG Scandal (white florals + honey + patchouli), but Elie Saab is sharper with the orange blossom and jasmine, and Scandal is much louder and sweeter. Florence Amber is more of a tender, floral honey gourmand without any hard edges. It‘s rather linear in its developement, but complex enough so you don‘t smell like you fell into a pot of honey. The bottle color matches the scent well in my opinion.

I was so eager to test this since I really enjoy Roberto Cavalli's fragrances. I agree with what SailorV wrote about it, this isn't an amber perfume like you would've expected. It's more of a honey floral with a touch of mandarin orange, not a thick honey though but more of a light sirupy kind of honey, so it's sweet and warm but bright at the same time - overall it's a very nice solar scent, that's easy and fun to wear. This is very similar to a perfume I have and love - La Diva by Emanuel Ungaro - which was also created by perfumer Marie Salamagne and they both share a lot of the same notes - they both have honey, gardenia, quince, patchouli and orange. It's not a groundbreaking or an unique fragrance but it has an interesting character - it's a happy sweet fruity scent that has a spring-sumer feel to it.

So excited to try a Roberto Cavalli that appeared - per the reviews here - to be different and easily wearable. It started out as fresh, light, a little sparkly, a little "ambery," and i really liked it. Hours later, unfortunately, it devolves into super, extremely, very sweet flowery scent, reminiscent of all the other sweet Robert Cavalli's i have, but sweeter, and headache inducing. i will try a few more times, but I am not sure i will be able to wear it. Edit: i am happily wearing this. it has a benzoin/amber like headiness and a freshness that reminds me of Wonderlust Sublime.
