A Rose by any other name
Ambre Dore, released in the west 2012 is Soir d'Orient.
From Fragrantica:
Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Ambre Doré launched for the US & European market June 2012, was initially launched in 2006 exclusively for the Eastern market, as Soir D'Orient, but the current trend of oud in western perfumery has finally made way for MPG to launch Ambre Dore to the west as well as part of the collection “Les Accords Mystères”. Finis.
Definitely unisex at the opening the oud is dominant, with hints, to my nose, of sour tamarind. This is its most masculine period.Thereafter, in its mature phase the fragrance veers towards the feminine with a floral heart comprised of violet and leather. At this point its a little like Cuir Amethyste. Many hours later a trace of Imperial Leather loiters artfully. The oud returns as it loses its viability. Women with testicular ability will love this fragrance. It's a shapeshifter that impregnates your clothes in the most immaculate way.
MPG does not get enough love. The only thing that heightened appeal for Soir D'Orient was its scarcity. It has been ignored as Ambre Dore. I would put it up against Arabian Wood by Tom Ford anyday.
Not that they are alike, rather it's the same strategy, marketed exclusively to Prince Ali Khan by spin doctors with degrees in advanced elephant washing.
Your loss, my gain, I've stocked up.
