Oud & Ambre

I remember the day I smelled this masterpiece. I was in Saks 5th Avenue at the Kilian Paris counter. The associate walks up and says she remembers me.
"You bought "Les Heures Voyageuses - Oud & Santal | Cartier" from me." Damn she was right.
"Well have you tried "Les Heures Voyageuses - Oud & Ambre | Cartier"?
She sprays, I smell......I think to myself "but what about Grand Soir ? What about Ambre sultan Eau de Parfum ? I don't think I'll ever wear those again. Well, I have but that doesn't stop me from making this my go-to amber fragrance. Leans masculine. Lasts 8-10 hours. The oud and amber combo is absolutely amazing! I'm actually impressed with all of Cartier's Les Voyageuses line of fragrances. Most slept on line of fragrances in my opinion.

Genre defining fragrance

Amongst the leaders of the pack when in consideration for an amber oud fragrance. Very minimalist composition the gives a head turning effect to anyone who wears it..Cartier did a great job along with M. Laurent sourcing some of the nicest materials for this fragrance. Hat off. Powerful, opulent and smooth, Oud & Amber sets a new standard of luxury for Cartier Parfums that more than lives up to the prestige of its name. Inspired not only by the lavish oud and amber blend that permeates the composition but cozy woods and spicy accords.

Shhhh...

Shhhhh
Ok, let's keep this one a secret. Cartier is already overlooked and undervalued compared to the other designer houses Chanel and Dior, but have a rich history with solid offerings. The entire Oud collection is a wonderful example of western ouds that are buttery smooth. With "Les Heures Voyageuses - Oud & Ambre | Cartier" it's more about the amber accord with less emphasis on the oud. Easily a top 5 Ambre that can fit into the discussion with Ambre sultan Eau de Parfum and Ambre Précieux and Grand Soir
Nobody seems to be talking about this gem of a fragrance and that's just the way I like it.

Beautiful!

Just smelled this elusive beast for the first time today. I was gifted a generous decant by an official rep. So generous I'm putting it on my "have" list even tho I don't have an actual bottle. The only other fragrance I've done that with is Commodity's Book. I have a sandwich bag full of 10ml samples.

Now, while I well know one can't base their opinion on an atomizer sniff (I didn't want to try it in, hot, humid weather and ruin my experience), I am prepared to offer a shaky first impression: Mind BLOWN!!! Full boom.

What I smell primarily, and no one has said this (that I've read, at least) are frankincense, a lightly sweetened, dry, amber accord and a high quality, smooth, oud.

The quality is in line with Cartier's other ouds, which is HIGH.

As of right now, I'm inclined to say Cartier is my third best fragrance house. Mathilde Laurent is a genius.

As it stands now my favorite houses, in order, are:

1) Amouage
2) Serge Lutens
3) Cartier

I would really be ok if you took everything away and just gave me those 3 houses to buy from.

Untill next time folks!

Sensual elegance

Sometimes just a few words are enough to describe a certain situation to create a clear picture in your mind's eye - and the same applies to the combination of some fragrances. A high-quality amber accord is a complex olfactory experience in itself. Contrasts merge and create a special and comforting feeling.

Oud & Ambre is a misleading name - most people will probably feel the same way - because oud can only be detected here in homeopathic doses, if at all. There is a hint of incense at the beginning, but it is mainly benzoin, labdanum and perhaps other resins (myrrh? styrax?) that dominate the fragrance. Similarities to Grand Soir are easy for me to understand, but the latter seems lighter and fluffier, probably due to a higher proportion of benzoin, because of the musk fragrances used. The latter are very important for Maison Francis Kurkdjian, but I dislike some of the brand's perfumes because they sometimes have a note of fabric softener/detergent. In the case of Cartier, the balance therefore seems to me to be more successful, because here, too, the light, somewhat waxy side of benzoin is extremely present, but well contrasted by the darker, more rugged facets of labdanum. Vanilla is not too strongly accentuated and the sweetness is not too intense and far removed from honey or gourmands. I can also smell a subtle woody note mainly directly on the skin.

In my opinion, Mathilde Laurent's creation is a perfect unisex fragrance that comes across as one piece. It unfolds beautifully in the sillage, as it has a certain fullness on the one hand and yet something radiant and elegant on the other. As is typical for amber, Oud & Ambre is a warm composition that can give the wearer a calming feeling. This perfume is therefore suitable for special occasions as well as for a cozy evening at home.
