Amber Aftelier

Over the peaks there is calm
In all the treetops you feel
Barely a breath
The little birds are silent in the woods
Just wait, soon
You will rest too.

Goethe's "Wanderer's Night Song" comes to mind with this fragrance.

Anyone expecting a heavy sweet scent with this fragrance will be sorely disappointed, and I mean that in the truest sense of the word. This fragrance symbolizes for me a mystical forest with giant fir trees.

I find that the listed pyramid does not correspond with the fragrance. Lavender does not come through at all, and if mandarin has been used here, then it is the leaves.

The top note matches the color of the perfume. It is tart fruity and really green.

A true heart note does not develop for me. The base is what defines the scent for me. Here, amber has a truly extraordinary development of different nuances, which reveal themselves depending on the distance to the skin.

This amber has truly enchanted me. Although the composition is extremely idiosyncratic, it radiates a calm, like in the poem recited above. But somehow amber also has something enchanted about it, like in a fairy tale. I call it: "enchanted calm"

Igraine, thank you so much for the opportunity to test this extraordinary perfume.
