Like The Perfect Winter Sunset
About a year after the initial launch of the long-running EDP collection, Coty has added a new piece to the collection, thus completing the missing piece of the puzzle. In fact, the last three pieces go very well with the spring, summer, and autumn months, leaving the winter ones uncovered. And here we go. The elegant aroma of Amber Breeze is reminiscent of beautiful sunsets full of potential, a sunset ride when the sun is ready to disappear below the horizon, and the sky fills with brown, ocher, and amber flames. First, what should come to your mind when you smell Amber Breeze? Hard to imagine the most beautiful sunset you have ever seen, the perfect sunset, that kind of amber sky when you observe the sun disappearing behind the horizon. And I've seen so many fiery sunsets; I'm an amateur photographer, and sunsets are always something magical that captures my attention, and I can't give up. Courtesy of the Coty brand, I managed to find out that the fragrance is a creation of the perfumer Shyamala Maisondieu. If we go to see his creations, perfumes such as Idôle Now, Velvet Orchid Eau de Parfum, Chrome Parfum, Oajan, and "Blu Mediterraneo - Bergamotto di Calabria | Acqua di Parma", along with many others by designers and niches. Again, Coty and David Backham relied on an important nose, so thiw work deserve the right attention with no prejudice.
Amber Breeze is an ambery aromatic essence. It caresses me with peppery aromas and a hint of boozy, fresh, and warm accords with infinite perspectives. As the name implies, it is ambery with a honey-like, semi-sweet undertone, that kind of sweetness. I get the proper fusion of spicy bergamot and balsamic rosemary with a spicy touch of pepper, the black one. The spicy and citrus flavours immediately fade as the rosemary blossoms with its balsamic aroma, leading me toward a green and floral heart. Immediately after the initial shot, the uncanny similarity with La Nuit de L'Homme Eau de Toilette is unmistakable. Courtesy of the amber accord, some powdery edges pop out cheekily.
Notes of lavender and rose intertwining with clary sage from its heart form a soft and masculine herbaceous bouquet. Frankly, I don't meet an impressive lavender here, as in Le Mâle Eau de Toilette, Cool Water Eau de Toilette, Pure Lavender or English Lavender, for example. It is muted, on par with the rose, which is pale, and a little faded; don't expect a Middle Eastern rose bombshell. Instead, clary sage debouches and takes the intermediate stage. The aromatic herbs and underlying amber give the flowers little chance to bloom. The powderiness grows and grows; I suspect some iris root powder or violet leaves hides in the concoction, which adds a touch of elegance to the overall redolence.
To complete the experience of this smooth and sensual sunset, the spicy and woody base offers earthy notes of modern patchouli, smooth vetiver, and semi-sweet toasted tonka bean. Patchouly leaves don't overshadow other elements; it's a refined and cleansed aroma. I can distinguish the vetiver, which appears green, vivid, more herbaceous, and less earthy. And finally, the Tonka adds that hint of sweetness that makes the trail sensual without cloying. I was looking forward to having this piece in my collection, and the blind purchase lived up to my expectations.
Based on my experience, I find Amber Breeze a wonderful scent for evening wear and special occasions, an experience that intensifies as the sun goes down. Something to wear for an intimate encounter, but also for the pleasure of being with yourself. The smell could be more assertive. It is delicate despite being ambery, objectionable if anyone around you in an office or indoor place feels bothered by it. As I said at the beginning, this fragrance goes very well with a cool or cold climate, perfect in the autumn and winter, but also when we want an amber, powdery, light caress.
I'm forming an opinion about a bottle I've had since June 2023 (BC 2343, PD 2022-12-09).
