Feels Like I Am Falling In Love
Initially, I almost dismissed Amber in Bloom as just another trendy tuberose-centric fragrance. However, I've since been captivated by its unique blend of narcotic, bittersweet, and mysterious white flower notes. This fragrance, unlike any other, requires time to fully appreciate its complexity.
Amber in Bloom takes off with a honeyed, warm, and citrusy accord, rich in bergamot and lemon peel, which blend with some mellifluous flowers and slightly spicy notes, definitely peppery but not to the point of inducing sneezing. The hypnotic and opulent tuberose note immediately rises, intense, mysterious, and recognizable among a riot of white and yellow flowers. It is adorned and dressed for the occasion, like a bride, slowly advancing towards the altar, with the Indian ylang-ylang acting as her bridesmaid holding her very long tulle veil. The floor is a carpet of Arabian jasmine sambac flowers. On the one hand, all these flowers give it a feminine aspect; on the other hand, a masculine thrust makes the fragrance hybrid, androgynous, non-binary.
I let a few minutes pass, allowing the impetuous opening to settle. A velvety green note slowly peeps out from the heart that I associate with clary sage leaves, slightly incense-like and waxy. Sometimes, the sage releases such a resinous aroma, which is still so aromatic and delicate. The intensity and gentleness of the blossoms unveil a creamy and sensual facet. A smidgen of orange blossoms sweetens the heart of Amber in Bloom, which gets more substantial and more profound in time. It is a safe, restrained interpretation of tuberose, not too flashy or rotten, and well blended with jasmine, creamy flowers, and sweet amber, keeping them at bay.
Amber In Bloom takes on a more woody edge as it approaches the dry-down, courtesy of the smooth and creamy cashmeran, and becomes sweeter in a good way. Alongside the salty-sweet amber, powdery and resinous notes of vanilla and tonka bean become apparent, leaving a trail reminiscent of chalky talcum powder. This fragrance is a vivid tuberose composition, suitable for those who appreciate heady florals but prefer a more subtle interpretation. If you like the chalky talcum powder trail, you’ll love this.
Amber in Bloom, a standout in the Chapter No. 10 collection, is a sensual and carnal fragrance with its prominent tuberose, rich jasmine, and a slightly salty, creamy amber presence. It is perfect for evening and nighttime events during spring, fall, and winter, offering a long-lasting projection that will keep you enveloped in its alluring scent for hours.
This review is a testament to my personal experience with Amber in Bloom, a fragrance I've owned and cherished since October 2024 (BC 41310, PD 2024-05-10). It's a fragrance that has left a lasting impression on me.
