Ambre d'Or Il Profvmo 2004
Warm Golden Layer
What was the reason I ordered a decant of 'Il Profumo, Ambre d'Or' and now a new flask of it? I did not mention it in my memos. Because I own several amber perfums. Beginning with Ambre Gris by Balmain. Which is completely composed as a whale-amber-fragrance despite of my different amber-scents which are resinous, more or less sweet, spicy, partly with copal-amber bitter-aromatic-wood-scents, dry e. g. My last purchase this spring was Blue Amber by Montale. Who want's to know which I own, might have a look into my collection here.
Before I startet to write this review I read once more all reviews into the German Parfumo. There must be one which attracted me, but no. All of them would have convinced me: Ambre d' Or is not at all the scent I am looking for.
I was looking for an Amber-fragrance like 'L'Artisan, L' Eau d' Ambre" which
seemed discontinued now.
So typical for me: I'm eager of a perfume, take it into the wish-list and wait, hesitate, weigh with other wished perfumes, convincing myself: I have some amber-fragrances and do not yet need an additional. And then? Discontinued or nowhere to buy like L'Eau d'Amber. Not to forget, the scents became meanwhile a lot more expensiv and they are partly slipping out of my budget.
So I ordered two decants. This Ambre d' Or and the new of L'Artisan, L'Eau Ambre Extreme". I pondered, compared the prices to, testet the one an the other and at least: It must be 'Ambre d' Or' because it's just the cozier scent.
At first the different to L'Eau d' Ambre by Artisan: The A'rtisan contained for my opinion a lot of musc. The new L'Eau Ambre Extreme is more dry, tangy and powdery.
Meanwhile the price of Ambre d' Or had increased at lot as well.
That pushed me to search for it. I was successfull in Italy. I got a new and full bottle for a fair amount.
And now the scent: I did and do not perceive what all are claiming: To sweet at the beginning, to much heliotrop, to much vanilla. I perceive immediately the bitter-woody rosewood which lasts all over the longevity like the aromatic spicy scent of sweet myrrh as well. Some sprinkle of citrus might lighten it up.
I consider the heart notes corn-rose and Datura as propose to envision a special kind of imagination and ambiente affecting Ambre d' Or. This if an individual decision of every single perceiver. But until now not mine.
Because for me "Ambre d' Or" is developing more in a golden, cozy yet smoothy fragrance. I am sure their are also whiffs of patchouli, tonka, vanilla, heliotrop, musc.
Oh, I forget the listet honey because I did not perceive it. If I would claim it's cistrose/guaiac, something like that. Only patchouli separately stands a little bit out for me, but not pungently and spoiling the scent. Ambre d' Or is nestling me into a caressing warm golden light.
I hit for me a lucky making choice.
