Cozy Atmosphere with Warm Spice
Especially now that it is becoming unpleasantly cold and damp, which is typical for late autumn and winter, one often longs for a homely warmth. This warmth does not necessarily have to come from a fireplace, stove, or heater; there are also fragrances that evoke the atmosphere of warm rooms, spiced cookies, and cakes, and the contemplative Advent season.
This pleasant spicy-woody scent is just right for that. For those who do not like it too rich and sweet, but sweet and rich enough to be considered a fine "gourmand."
The bright and citrusy opening is soon complemented by warm spices like clove, coriander, cinnamon, saffron, a bit of ginger, and cardamom. Oud is subtly perceivable in the background, as a herbal souvenir from the Orient. There is also warm, ambered dark vanilla with a fairly long lasting presence. The spices do not fade away until the end. A discreet retreat follows a prominent presence, allowing the game to begin anew time and again. Like flickering candlelight that creates a cozy and homely atmosphere. This is exactly the time for it.
I can also quite well imagine wearing "Amber Oud" on cool spring and summer evenings; I will be curious to try that out :-))

Creamy Subtle Oud Scent
I was very curious when I opened my package today. After reading Orientpoison's comment beforehand, I was aware that I wouldn't be greeted by an overwhelming oud scent, but I was still intrigued, as "Christmas and spices" always sounds interesting.
Now to the fragrance:
I hardly perceive bergamot at all; it probably resonates so subtly that it doesn't bother me further.
I detect a delicate oud note that blends with spices, amber, and in my opinion also vanilla/heliotrope (it's probably not in there, but I imagine it). Oud is therefore only to be sensed and combines "creamy" with the other fragrance components.
I don't know why, but something about this scent reminds me of a note from Joop's Nuit d'été, and it is exactly this note that I loved so much in that fragrance.
Definitely a scent that fits more into the autumn and winter season. I like it, and I have not regretted this blind purchase (this time).

Fragrance Oil Character and Christmas Mood
Les Senteurs Gourmandes - Amber Oud consists of:

Bergamot - Spices - Amber

In my opinion, it is NOT an Oud scent - rather, it smells like a fragrance oil for Christmas with synthetic vanilla and a splash of rum!

Longevity is average, lasting about 3-4 hours on the skin. It is a close-to-the-skin scent - due to its sweetness, I believe it is not unisex but rather feminine.

At first a bit sharp, later amber-vanilla-sweet. It lasts quite a while too. Nothing I don't already know and need.

little noticeable spice, but very sweet + piercingly cloying - bearable after about 1 hour - I would have liked it since it’s quite affordable

The potential for a lightly spicy, cozy warm autumn/winter scent is playfully undermined by the synthetic notes. What a shame.

Amber and fine spices, drizzled with honey. Oud? If present, in minimal dosage. I like it, especially in cooler temperatures.

It really gets you high! The (synthetic-)animalic notes can truly intoxicate you. It doesn't smell expensive, but it's solid for 30 euros!
