Signature?

Why have I not managed to write down my thoughts on this fragrance until now? I've owned it for years and every time I use it I think it suits me, it's my "signature". And then it slips out of my sight again. It's just a cologne. That can't be "signature-suitable" at all, they're only supposed to refresh briefly, are strongly lemony and without depth.

But here the case is then but clearly different. Two things come together:

First, Eau Mandarine Ambree has an incredible quality and uniqueness, which has already been elaborated here. It is definitely "fresh" and natural with its often commented realistic mandarin. And yet, right from the start, the amber gives depth and warmth that one tends to expect from perfumes. I smell out a hard-to-specify and exceedingly elegant and subtle spiciness that I find far from one-dimensional. And the kicker, just when you think that's it after three four hours, you're surprised again after about six to eight hours (similar to Eau d'Hermes, by the way). The fragrance comes alive again, this time with a more animalic, physicality radiating amber note. Wonderful Love is...

Secondly, it shows once again. A fragrance itself and stand alone is nothing, it is always the connection it makes with the personality of the wearer or wearer. If a fragrance does not fit, he does not convince, there he may still be so high-quality and long-lasting. If he fits it is heavenly!

All in all, what I think is an underrated fragrance. He is more durable and more present than you think, but without losing the restrained character of a Colognes. He is a good alternative for all those who love the Eau des Merveilles, for example, but have smelled it too often on themselves and others. It clearly has Hermes DNA and in my view can really be worn for all seasons and occasions. A signature cologne at its best!
