Like The Multiple Kaleidoscope's Colour
This perfume is awesome and complex. The first spray is misleading. The mood is sweet, and the resins come out immediately, along with the fragrant flowers on a powdery and musky background. Give it some time, and it unfolds a lot and fantastically. Honestly, I was surprised by how an amber perfume, at times balsamic and salty, could be so unexpectedly full of facets. Jasmine gives a floral aspect but is never tending towards the floral that we observe in perfumes of the genre associated with the feminine universe. If "Tonka Musk | Alyssa Ashley" is concentrated on nutty tonka, this one turns around gummy resins.

The middle stage hides an oriental heart full of sweet resinoids. The blend of benzoin gum and iris is warm and comfy. There is a sort of honeyed powderiness that creates a radiant aura around you. Now the iris flower takes the place of the jasmine, which was kindly placed in the secondary rows. Benzoin offers distinctly rich scents of woody, sweet vanilla. Its layered composition unfolds in warm, honeyed facets not dissimilar to caramel, almond or freshly roasted coffee. Subtle floral notes awaken slight nuances of complexions in soft, wispy or even powdery tones. The floral and indolic notes of jasmine have not disappeared, but have blended into this elixir, giving life to a symphony of flowers and resins.

The dry-down is all about amber, a powdery and musky amber with still clean and embracing factors. There are not too many salties or animalic edges, while semi-woody and earthy facets are enhanced. The white musk is subdued, not really a main character. Instead, the amber takes it all. All the powderiness comes from the spicy vanilla, here used nicely and sensually with no gourmand aspects. I still catch the roasted and coffee-like nuances, very toasted and slightly caramelized.

After testing and wearing it, I am convinced that Amber Musk is a perfume that has gone unnoticed and has not received the gratitude it deserves. it is a different amber, perhaps unique, full of dark and unexpected aspects, never predictable, just like the multiple colours of the kaleidoscope that alternate and mix creating surprising effects. Amber Musk is not linear, and on my skin, it has the same evolution that I get from the paper strip. Its enveloping warmth makes me prefer it for the colder months, from early autumn to early spring, better if worn under warm woollen clothes, for social occasions with friends, dinners, and evenings out. It’s not an opulent scent, and performance hovers around moderate.

I wrote my feelings based on a bottle I’ve owned since May 2024 (BC 3591257A, PD 2021-09-14).

I correct you, boss. Iris-Musk
I am actually a big fan of "you get what you see." Luckily, I had read the composition and the statements and could prepare myself for my favorite flower - which made me very happy. Since I am an absolute iris fanatic and a fan of herbal/resinous scents, I was excited about a resinous benzoin-iris. Because I find benzoin and iris to be fantastic. I now smell little jasmine in my head - which is quite alright for me as an old iris fan - and I have a beautiful transition to vanilla, musk, and a very subtle amber, which I mention in its defense.

If someone is looking for a nice iris scent for little money, they are in the right place. Less powdery and more resinous, this combination really has something exciting. Some of my fellow humans may not like these herbal vibes so much, but I am really into it.
If someone wants a warm, soft-sensual amber, they should not choose this one, as the name promises nothing of what the scent is.
I personally think it’s really good and I’m happy to have added it to my collection. I don’t find the bad review here quite fair. Taken on its own, it’s a great scent, with niche undertones. One just shouldn’t be confused by the name - that’s why I advocate for a name change here.

Warm, round and deep with a gentle floral opening note, it's a unisex fragrance to wear mainly in fall-winter. Wonderful sillage. A true gem

Instead of amber, a dreamy powdery iris that passionately flirts with bright woody musk. Benzoin & vanilla watch in amazement. A feel-good scent.

I expected it to be completely different. You mainly notice iris, vanilla, and musk. Beautifully powdery. No trace of amber.

Fine-powdery, vanilla-sweet benzoin scent, slightly herbal, velvety-warm. Elegantly discreet, it's always wearable. A lovely bargain.

Unfortunately, it's a bit too iris-heavy and unbalanced for me. I doubt it even knows why it's called Amber Musk.

Very pleasant and unique scent. Quickly becomes close to the skin, but at this price, you can reapply!

Powdery yet clean. The amber - so sensual, the benzoin hidden but still noticeable.

Dreamy powdery dusty amber with iris. Jasmine only as a subtle floral note. Soft, light vanilla base. A knockout cheapie.
