First of all you can have a - Nah, my commentary starts a little different this time than usual!

Thanks to the "Amberlosung" of our perfuma "Serafina" I was able to meet Ambre Secret and was immediately in love!

I then tried to find out when the sample that "Serafina" had kindly passed on was from - and she was really so extremely generous to send me a current bottling from her bottle, and this is identical, as I was very concerned that it might be badly reformulated, which is not the case here!

The first thing you can perceive is an incredibly soft, balsamic, sweetly creamy powdery note, which I personally do not identify as amber, but as amber - Absolue.

At the same time, the fragrance is accompanied by a quite clear, quietly appearing, lovely light nuance, which is due to the white musk.

A little later, the fragrance is accompanied by a very delicate light wooden nuance with a subtle, sweet and earthy touch, with extremely fine resinous and sweetish speckles in the background, which are caused by the cedar wood in combination with patchouli and labdanum - absolute, although I cannot say exactly whether the cistus is not already present here, as labdanum is, as is well known, extracted from the cistus.

The entire heart note is captured by a pure, viscous balsamic love and this time I cannot explain to you where it comes from, as it most likely comes from my own subjective sensation and for me personally only the Peru Balsam can be
In the last 3 hours a wonderful, pure appearing sweet and creamy, very discreetly smoky vanilla note is added in very soft and creeping strokes, which provides for a wonderful smooth finish and I here on the use of black vanilla - Absolue tippe.

In total the fragrance lasts 8.5 hours on my skin.

This time I find the Sillage extremely worth mentioning, because it only reaches a well noticeable quarter of an arm length when you do a pulse test and this is also the case when "wearing it correctly", but as soon as you move a little and heat is built up, the Sillage reaches a very well noticeable whole arm length and when "calming the body" it immediately retreats to the above mentioned quarter of an arm length and keeps this way for 4 hours before it reduces in calm steps until the fragrance fades away.
