Fruity, honeyed, bright and warm

I really like this one. Fruity, honeyed, bright and warm. I can smell pineapple! No sharpness, just warmth and sweetness. I think it smells like a nice tropical cocktail. It’s cheerful, like a little ray of sunshine in the winter. Apparently this smells a lot like a hard to find fragrance called Botrytis by Ginestet, a winemaker. Botrytis is the “noble rot” that causes grapes to become suitable for ice wine, and I can see how Amberbee smells like ice wine.

This is my favourite of the Hermetica discovery set.

Bourgeois bee mash

While some fragrances of Hermetica boring, others nauseating, none could inspire so far, "Amberbee" smells basically first pleasant. Also rather stright, lame and unimaginative, but still sweet and almost delicious. The thought of ambered tree bark. A step forward. Really taken my nose but now also does not look, when I look at the tine so...

"Amberbee" is a gilded mash scent, a monochromatic and to be honest also somewhat simple-minded mass, where you can not make out creativity, enthusiasm or that certain spark. Let alone individual components. So just well blended? Well. More like a sweet-synthetic gloop that unfortunately has nothing to tell. A half-baked honey collage.

Flacon: there's nothing to criticize
Sillage: rather for carriers than environment
Durability: persistent, not sprawling - 6 hours

Verdict: a sweet-woody mishmash. Above other Hermeticas, but far from good imo.
