Amber Incense

206 This is my favorite incense scent from this house, similar to Ambre Noire and Incense Pure. While the other two are simpler, this one has many beautiful notes which make it more complex. This one is full of different resins in addition to spice and floral notes, which makes it more interesting than the other two incense-like scents from this house. This one is also sweeter than the other two with the heliotrope, vanilla, and cinnamon notes. The other scents are more dry wood or wood/patchouli based. This one is a cool moist green European forest (it doesn't smell green) in the autumn, without detectable oakmoss thank goodness. The resins with warm spices create an almost tannin-like aroma, like having black tea with sweet spiced rum (thanks to vanilla). It is not a "sweet" scent though but is without overbearing wood notes. This brings back childhood memories... 9/10- very smooth and mysterious, sweet resinous spice forest incense

What's not to love? Just ordered this and yum. It's a cinnamon forward incense-amber, lots of woods and warming. This is not an ethereal light and smoke incense but cinnamon sweet. Smoke dissipates quickly leaving woody amber notes behind with some "red hots" humming along. I don't pick up rose, and the vanilla is low key while the moss keeps it from gourmand territory. I really enjoy. I'll be getting the larger bottle next time. Incense is my comfort scent, the one I reach for without thinking, but just knowing it will make me happy. And this does. This is not a hard intellectual scent--just well-done and easy. 5/5

So good! Addictive fruity golden incense with gourmand qualities. It merges a sort of light-heartedness (apricot, cocoa/vanilla/cinnamon, and sichuan pepper, which is quite subtle to me) with darkness (the amber and incense notes), resulting in a playful yet brooding fragrance that I absolutely love. And it performs really well! It has strong sillage, decent projection, and spectacular longevity. This has become my favorite from the house, overtaking Tabac Aurea. If you're into incense and amber but are looking for something other than a straightforward version of either scent, this is certainly worth checking out.

I'm glad I can say the first words about this....it's wonderful! Both notes of Amber and incense are balanced so perfectly. If you own tabac aurea and winter woods like I do then you will like this too. Laurie the owner of Sonoma scent studio is such a wonderful person and loves to help people. And I support her all the way. You can order samples of these scents or full bottles online directly from her Sonomascentstudio.com Don't let the 34ml bottle throw you off, the concentration of these EDPs are high and last long time and projection is great too. Best niche for money category for sure!

This is a beautiful balsamic vanilla sweet spicy amber fragrance. Leans feminine but a man could pull this off. Slight almond nuances from the heliotrope makes this even sweeter. This is a vanilla fragrance done right. So many vanillas even when they use natural vanilla come off play doh smelling. This is rich, balsamic and not shy. A bold sweet amber for vanilla lovers. Great lasting power, all of Sonoma Scent Studio's perfumes have great lasting power. I can't recommend them enough.
