Delicate, powdery flowers on hot asphalt
I've been to a perfume workshop at the Parfümbar twice and regularly order fragrance ingredients to mix my own perfumes. Bibi once sent me a bottle of her Ambra.
When looking at the fragrance notes (on her homepage), the "hot asphalt" (here on Parfumo as coal, but it definitely smells like asphalt!) immediately catches the eye. I've never really seen anything like it, but do you really want to smell like hot asphalt?
The fragrance:
The opening is pleasantly floral with a slight freshness (perhaps from the grapefruit, even if I can't smell any clear citrus) The asphalt accord already plays a present role in the top note, but is not yet hot.
The fresh floral notes recede somewhat and now I can really smell the asphalt, which is heated by the sun and over which the air begins to shimmer. Something delicately floral remains and also forms the heart of the fragrance, joined by a slight sweetness.
After about 1 hour, the asphalt smell disappears, what remains is this beautifully balanced, powdery floral, with a slight sweetness and a hint of spice (probably the clove). I find this heart of the fragrance wonderfully coordinated and extremely successful.
As the fragrance progresses, the flowers become weaker, leaving powderiness and a slight sweetness, probably due to the musk and the cedar wood in the background. The fragrance then becomes skin-deep for me until there is not much left after about 7 hours.
Well, the asphalt accord is of course exciting and gives the fragrance something extraordinary, but it also bothers me a little. Maybe it's a little too strong, or maybe it wasn't needed at all, I'm not quite sure. But the fragrance that remains after the asphalt has faded after about 1 hour is wonderful, fine, powdery, flowery, elegant. The only thing I would wish for is a slightly stronger H/S, it is probably more a fragrance for the wearer himself, and of course you will notice it well when you are physically close, but probably not further.
