Neon Amber Molton Brown 2021 Eau de Parfum
Solid synthetic amber
I became aware of Neon Amber by Molton Brown through a shower gel sample that I really liked. So I decided to test the Neon Amber Eau de Parfum as well.
The amber in Neon Amber Eau de Parfum is fundamentally very solidly crafted and has a subtly resinous, warm character, which I prefer in amber fragrances. Nothing scratches in my nose, nothing is unpleasant or overly resinous-spicy. I sense some earthy-woody notes and could imagine that patchouli is primarily at play here. Overall, Neon Amber Eau de Parfum is exactly what the color of the fragrance also suggests to my nose. Brown, ambered, subtly earthy wood. I don't smell any sweet or even floral notes. Instead, I detect synthetic ones.
I don't find Ambroxan unpleasant and can also enjoy true Ambroxan bombs like Dior Sauvage. And in "Neon Amber (Eau de Parfum) | Molton Brown," I don't find anything wrong with it, except that it results in a slightly synthetic wood note.
I also have a suspicion as to why Ambroxan might be included in the base note: the longevity.
The longevity of Neon Amber Eau de Parfum is really limited. I once gave it a 7; a 6 would also be justified in my eyes. So Ambroxan as a true performance monster possibly saves something here that the other notes likely wouldn't have achieved in the grand scheme of things.
In summary, a pleasant, woody amber scent with rather weak performance. Not a must-have, but still a good fragrance DNA.
