Ambre Noir Adnan B.

Good evening, you (probably) well-scented perfume lovers!
I would have given a statement, but the last comment was a while ago and I’m freshly spritzed, so I’ll just hit the virtual keys.
Ambre Noir starts off quite fresh and spicy, especially somewhat peppery, but one could say it’s very cardamom-heavy. The top note, without having the comparison on my wrist, strongly reminds me of la nuit de l'homme edt. I’m totally into it and was a bit surprised that it starts relatively fresh. The bergamot shyly hides behind the somewhat synthetic apple note, but if you don’t focus on it, you forget both.
Now one could talk about the drydown, but the fragrance doesn’t really have one. It remains very linear for a full 6 hours and is somewhat different than usual. You can smell the heart note after the top note or rather perceive it in that order, but it lasts a long time.
I become aware of the fragrance, smelling cardamom with orange blossom and this sweet pepperiness, and right after that, patchouli and amber come around the corner and cuddle up to you.
Only after these 6 hours do all the notes blur and drift into a slightly fluffy sweetness, which is probably due to the vanilla that lasts longer than all the other notes, but don’t worry, the vanilla is hardly worth mentioning.
The performance is beyond any doubt for 15 euros and it is always perceivable at arm's length.
In comparison to la nuit de l'homme edp, it is not as heavy and sweet-sticky that you can only wear Ambre Noir in winter.
It basically combines both versions for me into an even more universal version and the perfect fragrance for spring or autumn.
