Super Amber

This is my first real blind buy because I already love No.4 and No.10, so I figured I’d love this one as well given my penchant for gravitating toward molecular amber scents. I paid $110 from FragranceNet. To me, this is a tiny bit too incensy I guess you could say - I dont really know how to explain. I like it and will wear it for sure, though. It’s an easy to wear skin scent that anyone could pull off, but something leans a little too much like incense here. For comparison, I am in love with things like No.4, BR540, Nemat Amber Oil, and Another13. I think those all have something cozy and beautiful and comforting about them that No.11 just slightly misses the mark on. I won’t repurchase this one after my bottle is done - I’ll save my money for a backup of No.4. 7.5/10

A very enjoyable Amber for all seasons. Longevity is all day and silllage is moderate. Never overwhelming with this scent but it will stick out due to its uniqueness. I enjoy layering it with Thomas Kosmala #4 Apres L'Amore. It becomes something completely amazing and interesting

Maybe I'm noseblind or maybe it was a bad batch but I didn't smell anything. Literally none except a slight alcohol whiff. After 1h I could smell something very soft and tender, very close to skin. Definitely not worth the money for me.

I'm really sad about this perfume. I loved it at first. I really, really want to love it. But it degrades rapidly. When I first bought it, it had a very strong performance. It was also the best, most comforting scent I had ever smelled. I thought it would be my signature scent. Maybe I would layer other perfumes on top, but I thought I would be wearing this the rest of my life. But after a few weeks, the performance dropped hard. I had to spray more to get it to last for hours, and people suddenly couldn't smell it on me. I let it macerate for a month, hoping that it would improve the performance. It didn't. The performance was even worse, and the perfume didn't even smell the same. It was like most of the notes had been stripped away in that month it was hiding in the drawer. . I didn't buy a knockoff, either. I bought it from Dillard's full price. It has Made in France on the bottom, and many others have mentioned the bottles Made in France having worse quality control. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Old Review~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I love this perfume! Normally my skin is like a black hole for perfume. When I spray it on, it’s gone in less than a minute. Even other people can’t smell it on me. But with this perfume, it lasts all day and even lingers the next day! A very faint remnant even remains on clothing and bedsheets even after washing. When I layer this with other perfumes, it seems to make them last longer, too. Even when I spray this on before bed and add the other perfume in the morning, it makes the new perfume last longer. I’m not sure how it works exactly. The perfume smells very unexciting when it’s on paper, but very different on skin. On my skin, it is very strong at first with the woody notes. Then it turns more calming and sweet. I have limited experience, but I would call this a Vivaldi. With one spray it has a good sillage. With two sprays people said it wasn’t too strong. When Thomas Kosmala did a talk at one of my local Dillard’s, he said it’s great for layering with his No. 1 Tonic Blanc. I don’t have that, but I do have an indie perfume that has honeysuckle, lemon, orange, sweet patchouli, and neroli notes. It smells absolutely heavenly with TK No. 11. It’s a very cheering scent that lifts my mood. It may be best to spray the TK No. 11 several hours before layering, or else the TK No. 11 may overpower the other scent, depending on its strength. A lot of people talk about the TK made in France and the TK made in England being different. My bottle was bought at Dillard’s earlier this month and made in France.

Either I just bought a fake from Jomashop or TK has completely ruined this fragrance. It smells nothing like I remember a couple of years ago. Now, it smells like a cheap dose of ambroxan or Iso-e and nothing else. 6.21.25 Update: A couple of months later and I'm noticing more of the amber scent that I wanted. It's still not as strong or as ambery as I remember, but it's better. Maybe letting a fragrance macerate or mature is actually a thing and not just B.S.
