I can only agree
I ordered the Gold & Amber as part of a test series with other Bachs fragrances from the company Bachs to get to know these beautiful and truly affordable scents.
Upon spraying, there is immediately a warm, amber prominent start, only slightly spicy and subtly dry-powdery. The impression is immediately rich, and my admiration for the company grows, as the scent feels much more expensive than one would expect from the bottle price.

Amber plays the main role, possibly even with tobacco, which I can't directly smell, but at the beginning, the scent fills the room well, though it quickly becomes more subdued and relatively close to the body. Woody notes join relatively quickly, and the scent remains, at least on my skin and clothing, very present for hours. Here, too, it is the kind of fragrance that doesn't shout at you but skillfully releases its power into the surroundings, leaving a light amber mysterious cloud in passing and giving others the impression that the wearer of the fragrance is an elegant person with very good taste and sufficient financial prosperity.
In the end, there is a bright vanilla, delicately woven with wood, which makes its aura even more noble.
It is a mature scent, tending slightly towards the masculine side in my opinion, but for women who like to wear men's fragrances, it is also perfect as it surely smells very sexy on a lady.
This fragrance from Bachs also deserves more attention; for me, the price-performance ratio is unbeatable, and it is worth having it in a fragrance collection, especially for people who enjoy wearing a robust amber. I own many sweet amber fragrances, and I find that robust amber is rarer to find. The scent also appears elegantly minimalist, wood, labdanum, vanilla, done… Fine and elevated…

Personal taste is personal taste, and I tend to prefer distinctly feminine fragrances, which is why I probably won't be getting it for now. For the price, it is even a blind buy candidate for people who know their taste well and enjoy the scent notes. For those who were sad because it was discontinued, good news: it is back, the price has been adjusted slightly higher, but for this quality, it is absolutely fine.

In conclusion, I can only agree with my predecessor, a very good fragrance for surprisingly little money, which clearly proves that niche can also come at a moderate price.

And how about you? Do you prefer your amber sweet or rather robust?

Thank you for reading my review and warm regards

Cuddling is gold
There is good news and bad news about Gold & Amber from Bachs. First the good: the Eau de Parfum impresses from the very beginning with cuddly warm amber notes as well as ample labdanum framed by equally warm woody nuances, along with a slight perceived hint of pepper plus a minimal cocoa powder cloud. In the background, a pleasant vanilla that you embrace directly into your heart.

The presentation may seem quite linear, but it is long-lasting and radiates finely.
Moreover, Gold & Amber is absolutely affordable. I seem to remember that it was offered for just over €25 less than a year ago. That is a really fair price for an Eau de Parfum with the aforementioned qualities.

And now the bad news: unfortunately, the fragrance is no longer produced and is correspondingly not so easy to obtain. Will there be a re-release? I have no idea how high the demand is, but it has potential. It's just a shame that you now have to be frugal with the contents and can't generously spray it everywhere and all the time.

Really beautiful soft amber scent with labdanum at an incredibly low price. Apparently available again now.

A lovely warm candidate for snuggling, could last a bit longer but is reasonably priced for a top-up. Would love to have it!

Too peppery at first, then too generic. I don't recognize any of the listed notes.

Very nice start, amber woody and dry, moderately crackling. The mid notes are slightly cheesy. It sounds soft and reconciliatory on the skin.
