Ambre Chic

I hate to say everything the other reviews have said, but it does smell exactly like Valentino Uomo Intense (I don't have Dior homme intense for comparison). Very minute differences are that the tangerine is more prevalent and smells a little like tang (the powdered citrus drink mix with the monkey) and there's less leather (I'm a leather scent lover). This probably works better in summer than Uomo Intense. Why? It's lighter on the heavier notes like the leather and iris as well as being mild; it doesn't really project or last. This is a wonderful fragrance because of its smoothness and price. (I'm going to layer it with leather though.) Update: Maceration has made this fragrance much more smooth and gorgeous. Definitely don't wear this in summer. I had to change my like to a love. In my opinion this is one of the best sub $30 fragrances available.

It's disgusting how cheap you can get this scent for, while paying more for the ocasional garbage youtube reviewers tend to hype. Literally, 16 dollars. If i paid 4 times more that i'd still be happy. This is 98% OG DHI/VUI. Nothing sharp or disgustingly synthetic. Sure, it doesn't perform like DHI or Valentino Uomo, those hit 20 hours easy for me specially DHI, but you can only bash its performance when comparing to those. Compared to the average frag, it's solid. I got about 11-12 hours with 3 sprays. Not bad at all. Again, i got this bottle for 16 dollars...and i wouldn't feel ripped off if someone actually ripped me off charging more for it. Double thumbs up.

Yesterday I’ve gotten a sample of this fragrance, and I tested it for the whole day. It has a very lovely aroma. The easiest way to draw an idea of it is by comparing it to Dior Homme Intense, or Valentino Uomo Intense. Perhaps a little different nuances here and there, but basically is the same. The only difference in my skin is the sillage, which isn’t as strong as the fragrances that inspired it, and the longevity is decent. If you already have DHI or VUI, perhaps there’s no reason to purchase this one, unless you want something cheaper to wear in order to save your expensive ones, or, as in my case, I’m tempted to get it just for it lovely aroma. Greetings.

My best blind buy, 20$ and one of my favorites now. There's something special with Iris that I can't get enough of, it's like an addictive drug I need to revisit regularly. When it was new it had a strange card board paper smell and synthetic Iris, but now it smells just like an well-blended, cheaper VUI.

Bang-on DH, DHI, Valentino Uomo et al clone. Longevity is good enough considering the price point. As with other inexpensive clones, the trick is simply spray more Compared to ZARA 9.0 I think this is better - the smell is more refined.
