Not my style
Ambra struck me as nothing really special, certainly not the type of fragrance that I prefer. After the initial trademark AdP citrus opening (which is always nice), it melts down into a smooth, creamy, floral nondescript soft scent. Leans feminine rather than unisex. Longevity is quite good - got at least 10 hours out of it with only average sillage and projection. Tried it from a sample. Not my style.

Visit from Parma

My Amber No. 128
We are expecting a visitor.
.
Bottle.
Black as night and dark as curiosity. Once opened, you rub your head, shrug your shoulders, and shake your head. And you no longer understand the world, and then you get startled ...
.
Light.
Bright, bright, and again bright. Greeted with bright soap and fine orange. Veil-like the rose. Soft the patchouli. Then bright wood crumbles. Fine sandalwood. And a hint of tobacco. Light smoke dances through the air. And again and again the rose.
And ...
.
Amber.
Hours in a deck chair, with still water under gentle sun. Given over to the haze. To the quiet scent of contentment. (8.0) Home garden flower green. Half the day. Until the moon lowers us into the dark.
.
Did we have a visitor?

It is black as night...
... and beautiful. I mean the bottle.

The scent starts with a citrusy bitter note. This quickly disappears and is replaced by pepper, even though it is not listed in the fragrance pyramid. Even when woody notes and musk with amber join later, a strong pepper note remains on my skin. I personally really like it.

The scent is a strongly masculine fragrance.

I envision a man who is out and about in jeans and leather. And we must not forget the muscle shirt from which the chest hair is peeking out.

The longevity is good for Aqua di Parma, and the sillage is reasonable.

This fragrance is definitely interesting for anyone who enjoys strong spiciness.

We don't need to discuss the price with this brand.

Could have been so beautiful…
The fragrance opens citrusy, with the signature of Acqua di Parma.

Unfortunately, a known weakness of the brand is also evident here. After about 30 minutes, nothing remains of the top note; it nearly completely dissipates and leaves no lasting impression. (At least, that's my issue that I always have with ADP. Citrus disappears almost immediately...)

The amber itself lasts about 12 hours on my skin, but it always stays close to the skin. The scent is thus just a quiet companion, only noticeable when one consciously seeks it out.

In summary: not a bad scent, quite high-quality and pleasantly composed, but no performance. A fragrance that is simply too expensive for how little you can smell it.

Great and Fleeting
ADP Ambra indulges me with a very elegant, warm, and cultivated scent profile.

The fragrance feels high-quality, well-groomed, and subtly luxurious.

It is perfect for a stylish evening - whether it's a nice dinner or a relaxed nightcap at a bar. However, in this time frame, only the music plays. After 3 to 4 hours, it becomes quiet or even silent.

The longevity is the clear weak point. That's a shame, especially since the scent character is so successful. For long evenings or nights, the performance is not sufficient for me without reapplying - and I simply don't like to reapply.

However, anyone who can live with the below-average longevity and is instead looking for a fine, classic, and very tasteful fragrance for selected occasions will still find joy in it.

The very cleanest dirty amber AdP could muster, it presents a very, very palatable ambergris accord with generous floral notes thrown in.

Fresh amber breeze
Mild-woody-spicy aura
That is pleasant to wear
But the scent lacks soul
Too smooth without edges & animalic

A slap of nagarmotha at the start, smoky, animalistic, leathery. Hesperides in disguise.
Rose-patch reconciled, resting on amber.
No AdP DNA.*

Floral and woody notes are dominant, subtle spice and a lovely amber note add a touch of intimacy. The soft tones fit...

I like it very much. Amber serves more as a base note, while the floral and woody notes take center stage. It feels quite classic.

Better than the cologne where the harmony was missing. Pleasant, rose embedded in green and freshness, making the result solid.

A cozy-spicy amber scent that also suits the mild summer with its fruity fresh notes.
I don't know Colonia Ambra.

It exudes more of an aura than a scent after the top notes.
Clouds of heavenly, cinnamon woodiness keep coming back.
A not-a-perfume.

Pleasant, albeit subtle scent that shines in more intimate moments. Not for grand appearances. Very well done.
