Silver Cristal by AMOUAGE - warm, cozy, and very luxurious

Today my Silver Cristal arrived. I didn't know the scent. It passed me by without me knowing of its beauty.

Ah, I'm unboxing it ... what is this? Such a beautiful perfume bottle.
Heavy lead crystal, silver-plated elements, and engravings crafted with artistry. Inspired by the Great Mosque in Muscat. A rarity, a collector's item.

Now I spray just half a drop on the left and half a drop on the right wrist. Very carefully, yes, that's where it should go.

Immediately, magic surrounds me. Ylang-Ylang, lily ... the rose is very faint.
Spicy notes or is it sandalwood? I can't tell anymore.
Fragrances envelop me.
I take a pause here ... read my emails, want to let my scent experience linger.

The scent wafts around me even though I only sprayed it minimally.
Just the tiniest drop that could be sprayed ...

Now about half an hour has passed, comforting scents, I can no longer concentrate on anything. I start to daydream ... time no longer matters.

I know and have had many scents, but this one is unlike any before.

This is so luxurious that one cannot imagine it. It doesn't change either.
Top note, heart note, base note, no, all fragrance notes are already there.

They multiply ... incense, very gentle, jasmine, and yes, that is cedar. Cedre, I can recognize the cedar. It gives the opulence freshness.

And yes, other delicacies ... I can't identify them individually.
A successful composition of an oriental fragrance that also has a western touch.

Certainly not easy, but by no means overwhelming, rather exuding a cozy inner warmth.

What a work of art. Pure luxury, in the proverbial sense.
So true luxury.

The origin from the Omani royal house comes to the forefront here.
A scent for connoisseurs and kings. For those of us who want to feel true and highest perfumery art.

A scent to escape the world. A precious fragrance.
It is said to contain 125 ingredients ... a comforting scent that does not intoxicate the senses but calms them.

Only a scent for lovers. How could this masterpiece pass me by over the years?
Now it is no longer produced, and I have been allowed to have a bit of it.
Such a treasure will not come again.

Now a little more time has passed; it surrounds me even more beautifully and envelopingly.

A work of art par excellence. A beauty, a true dream surrounds me and lets me dream.
Of such a beautiful world that seems not to exist.
This Silver Cristal takes me there and lets me linger and gives me inner joy.

My bow is for this Eau de Toilette ... yes, as intense as a perfume. Very precious and very noble.
It doesn't get any better. I am thrilled.

How beautifully and fittingly you've described this wonderful scent!!! When it was released and offered about 27 years ago, it was the first fragrance with a high price that I splurged on. This beautiful and unique bottle cost 220 D-Marks. My friends were thrilled but also shocked when I mentioned the price. I’ve rarely been so captivated by a fragrance since then. The best moment of a warm summer night was when I was walking through a park with my colleague, and as I took something out of my handbag, she said how lovely the summer air smelled at night!! I told her that the scent was coming from my open handbag!!! It's such a shame that the most beautiful things are often gone...
