Wild Cherry
The opening of this fragrance is very sweet and reminds me of a cherry candy or tart, somewhat in the spirit of Rouge Trafalgar by Dior. Then, the scent becomes darker, more woody, more animalic, with a noticeable cedarwood presence. In my opinion, this fragrance is completely unisex. The longevity is good (I applied it 11 hours ago and can still smell it faintly). On clothes, the lasting power is incredible (I could still smell it on my clothes even after washing). The sillage is moderate.

Insider tip among cherry fragrances
For me, Ambre Rubis is a beautiful cherry fragrance that stands out from alternatives on the market on various levels.

Fragrance experience: The fragrance starts sweet and delicious with an extravagant cherry, which is immediately present. The fruitiness is underpinned by a juicy blood orange. Incense and pepper are only subtly perceptible.
After a while, Ambre Rubis moves in a slightly woody direction with "lovely" rum, which is more warm and gourmand than smoky and tart.
In the base, you get mainly woody and ambery notes that give Ambre Rubis a round and gentle facet.
In my opinion, the fragrance remains mainly sweet-gourmand and perhaps becomes slightly darker as it progresses due to the aforementioned notes.
The fruitiness diminishes as the fragrance progresses, although the cherry remains for a long time and never becomes (too) overpowering.

Application and performance: Ambre Rubis, just like other Gorumand fragrances of this type, is ideal for cooler fall and winter days, as its warm, fruity DNA comes into its own and does not come across as "too much".
The performance is extremely good. Ambre Rubis easily lasts the whole day and can also be clearly perceived by the wearer's surroundings for several hours.
Nevertheless, it is not a "beast" with overwhelming sillage.

The fragrance is definitely UNISEX.

Bottle and price: The bottle is simple and attractively designed. The deep red color gives an adequate foretaste of the fragrance experience. The price-performance ratio for this fragrance quality, paired with the high-quality bottle, is truly outstanding.

Conclusion:
Anyone looking for a delicious, deep and sensual cherry fragrance should definitely try this one. For me, it is clearly one of the best cherry fragrances on the market.

The sweet cherry at the beginning becomes "darker"
Ambre Rubis has a great sweet cherry that stands alone at the very beginning, until after a few moments other notes are added, which give the cherry a little more rough edges and generally make it appear darker.

As I said, the start contains a rather sweet cherry. It reminds me of cherry sweets from my childhood. After about 5 minutes, a hint of incense hits me. There is also a hint of alcohol in the background.
You can't look that quickly, then suddenly the rum is involved.
The cherry now looks as if it is really soaked in rum. You have to like that.
The whole thing is also supported by present woods.

Over time, floral notes come to my nose from time to time. But is that really jasmine?
I don't know. It could also be that there are other floral notes in here that are not listed here Or my nose is playing a complete trick on me here, but that's exactly what I love about perfumes.
I always find these different perceptions and this highly subjective aspect totally exciting.

Towards the end, it takes a sweeter direction for me, but not a fruity-sweet one. I can't really perceive the cherry anymore.
The woody impression briefly mentioned above also remains.

The fragrance is listed here as a women's fragrance and I ask myself: "Why?"
I find Ambre Rubis to be totally unisex. Especially because we have this slightly dark touch here.

Sweet cherry that cuts through warm wood and resin, more fruity than I thought, but in a pleasant way.

Not complex as other Houbigant’s parfumes. Velvet and warm cherry, more feminine. So close to Narcotic delight by Intio
