Delicate rose,
nestled in soft sandalwood,
almost buried by whispered anise powder...
A scent to sense.

Buried in powder, no matter how softly it’s whispered... I’m out.

For the price being asked, that's definitely too little.

Too bad... But at that price, maybe it's for the best.

Yes, sometimes it's better because it's easier on the wallet... :D

Well, as I said, it's actually unusual for the brand.

The price isn't surprising for the brand. ;)

You're right. Although H.J. also makes fragrances that I definitely find justified in price. Even if they're not to my taste, I can appreciate the craftsmanship that is certainly present in some of the scents.

The little rose would probably be too cheap.

That's perhaps a bit too little.

Too little of everything. A fragrance can certainly be soft and calm, but Ambrose is almost as quiet as a monastery.

I was quite disappointed. I'm used to H.J. scents being very different.

Doesn't sound very exciting.
At that price, I'd rather pass...

H.J.'s fragrances are always high-priced and often quite justified. But this time, the performance just isn't there.

Hmm, strange. I would have thought based on the reviews that it’s much more potent.

I've never had a fragrance from H.J. that has so little development as this one and is so close to the skin that I had to practically stick my nose to my wrist just to pick out the three notes.
For having almost no projection, it surprisingly lasts quite a while. I don't think it's bad, but for once, this scent from the brand isn't worth the money to me.

I tested the scent three times because I didn't trust my nose the first time. The third time was just to be sure.
In the base, it becomes a bit stronger and woodier. However, that doesn't really change my overall impression of it being a rather unremarkable fragrance.
