I was very curious about Vanille Ambre back then since there isn't much written about this beautiful fragrance, and I still dared to grab it blind at the souk. Thanks again to the lovely Parfuma. I was blown away from the very first spray :)
Today it's raining again, and somehow it just doesn't want to be summer this year. No summer feeling fragrance can help me get over this blues.
This 1 day of heat and 3 days of cool rainy weather is really starting to wear me down. Today, I feel like cozying up on the couch and enhancing the cuddle factor with a nice scent. For that, Vanille Ambre is perfect... but not just that... ;)
About the scent:
Vanille Ambre doesn't really have a remarkable scent progression. Dark and spicy, the amber comes through in the first minutes. Then the vanilla joins in, and patchouli helps to temper the sweetness a bit.
I perceive the amber-vanilla combo on my skin as slightly smoky-spicy, and after about half an hour, a musk note adds itself, perfectly rounding off Vanille Ambre. The scent stays on the skin for the next 8 hours and truly provides moments of comfort. You just smell good with Vanille Ambre, and it's not just my nose telling me that... I've already received several compliments for it. You smell good... or wow... a sexy scent, etc. ;)
The bottle is quite nice and typical for Comptoir Sud Pacifique. Although it appears opaque, you can see the fill level when held up to the light.
For me, Vanille Ambre is a go-to... whether for work, leisure, or going out... always wearable, and it doesn't disturb those around you; on the contrary... they sniff around even though the scent isn't that loud. However, it's not suitable for the peak summer. But for all other temperatures below 24 degrees, it's very suitable :)
Conclusion:
If you're looking for an amber-vanilla scent to feel good and smell nice and you enjoy sweet fragrances... definitely give it a try. It's worth it!
I can hardly keep my nose away from my wrist; it smells so good ;)
Vanille Ambre will definitely have a permanent place in my collection and will be repurchased as soon as the bottle is empty.
No, blind buying is not a sin, especially after such a lovely and appetizing comment. I really like the brand anyway. My wallet is giving me a suspicious look right now. ;-)
Congratulations on the new addition! I really like the scents from this house as well - you have to be a bit careful with the dosage, as many of the fragrances pack quite a punch, but when you get the right amount, they can be really lovely.
Oh man, I didn't want to read your comments anymore-I'm going broke!! This sounds so amazing, I have to have it! I also really like the "Voyages en Orient - Jasmin Poudré" from the collection. Can a blind buy really be a sin? Fingers crossed!
