"Black Amber" meets Carlos Santana
When I got to know this fragrance last winter, I initially had a heck of a lot of respect: virtually no experience with amber and then a name that sounds a little dangerous at first - "Black Amber"!
A little on tiptoe I approached this bottling; what did I expect?
Certainly not this rich, dark fragrance intensity with surprising "friendliness", as Meggi wrote me later quite right. To him I owe this experience.
In the meantime, we like each other very much: "Black Amber" and I and even a third (maybe even fourth) is with in the bunch:
For me, "Black Amber" is the opener for an inner door: "Black Magic Woman" by Carlos Santana then sounds pretty quickly and remains also some hours the fragrance accompanying with me.
A fragrance so, which delivers an earworm equal - how crazy is that then?
In mid-August, by the way, this guitar god Carlos Santana gave an open air concert in the city.
Not in the unfriendly, actually always a bit damp Waldbühne: no, it was the more intimate setting of the open-air stage at the citadel Spandau selected!
A fitting ambience for a two-hour concert that not only the hearts of Santana fans beat high: a true summer night orgy in sounds played out there!
The 71-year-old let the already warm night vibrate full of sound and eroticism!
"Black Magic Woman", no: "Black Amber" combines unusual fragrances to a successful creation.
A little feminine - a little masculine: this fragrance is both!
Alone by Davana, this Artemisia plant, with its fruity light-woody aroma.
This golden-orange oil is used in aromatherapy mainly against women's complaints.
In addition, it has, among other things, emotionally balancing and in combination with other oils it helps to increased concentration and inner peace.
Also for perfumes Davana is often used: so this interesting fragrance has here the first appearance.
Together with the somewhat scratchy resinous spice of labdanum and slightly musty red alga, the way is paved for the rich scent of blackthorn flower.
Also called blackthorn, this spring bloomer delights not only with its white, fragrant flowers; these also contain an aromatic nectar with a slight plum sweetness - it is just a plant of the Prunus family.
Spicy, not yet very scratchy incense closes a very special scent circle here: "Black Amber" is not for sensitive noses - it challenges!
This incense also meets a much more powerful relative later.
Before that, the oriental, slightly earthy scent of Nagarmotha develops.
This is often compared with that of the precious eagle wood (oud wood): musty, heavy, earthy, spicy and balsamic.
I remember to have read that just this fragrance is to stand in the reputation, a man smelling thereafter can conquer any woman. (Let's just leave that uncommented!)
Well, here opens with it anyway a sensual, full fragrance composition, which also includes the spicy sweetness of tobacco flower.
Vetiver also fits perfectly with its earthy note to the fragrance development, allies with Nagarmotha. Both are a little relatives in the fragrance.
The spiciness of cedar shares the final applause with heavy dark incense: alone up to here "Black Amber" is a revelation!
But this is really only the prelude: black amber sets fragrance accents that are unparalleled.
Full spicy and yet somehow luminous here fragrance atoms fly through the atmosphere. Thus it fits wonderfully with the golden shimmering patchouli, before only styrax with the light vanilla touch, then the true vanilla let their erotic intensity and warmth flow into this mixture.
This is now really great cinema for the senses!
That sandalwood this time rounds off this strongly scented work of art, is cleverly arranged: sandalwood is rarely the keystone in the architecture of a fragrance - this "building" he holds together perfectly!
"Black Amber" fascinates; it fascinates with cleverly combined components, which were combined into a harmonious extravagant and also powerful fragrance.
The course of the fragrance makes me pause again and again, although the curiosity for the next surprise actually pushes forward.
It is an exciting story that "Black Amber" tells and that I will certainly hear more often and hopefully understand better each time.
This spicy, resinous smoke is very clingy and becomes lighter and friendlier towards the end.
The masculine fragrance portion cleverly combines with the feminine, creating a work of art that appeals to both men and women at the same time.
In women even the feminine sensual still strongly emphasizes.
"Black Amber" is interesting, seductive and very sexy!
A fragrance that invites you to "Samba Pa Ti"! (To stay with the Carlos Santana.)
What develops from this, we will then experience ...
Because this fragrance is a bit like flying through the universe: it knows no boundaries!
