For cold days - and nights

I have had this perfume for some years now. It is not part of my rotation shelf, but sometimes it catches my eyes and I give it attention for a few days. Days like today when it is really cold outside and I need the warmth and comfort from a spicy-sweet scent. Under these circumstances AEN is a good choice. It has the right amount of notes to make it interesting, for even though the amber note is dominant, the scent keeps changing, sending out a mix of powdery-sweet-spicy notes… so delicious! I dare say this is a sensual, maybe even sexy scent. You can easily wear it for bed, since it is not in any way loud or cloying.
The bottle has a classic look, with the beautiful metal detail on the top. I love the feeling of the rippled black glass. It I should ever want to make a series of scents, I would pick something like this bottle for all of them. Elegant and classic.
Should you stumble across this gem there is only one thing to do: buy it.

Sweet Opulence

I love this fragrance. It is warm, comforting, enveloping, with sweetness of vanilla and substance of incense. It’s soft, rich, and woody, with just a touch of powderiness. It feels in my nose as a creamy milk chocolate feels in my mouth. It wears like an opulent velvet gown and I enjoy it very much. It reminds me of sadly discontinued Oriflame’s Nomadic, which I used to own back in the day. Now this one is discontinued as well. Why do they keep coming after the stuff I really like? Luckily for me, I’ve got a backup bottle, because I had enough of disappointments, when my favorite scents were cancelled. Yves Rocher’s Venice, Revillon’s Turbulences, Dior’s Midnight Poison, Oriflame’s Nomadic – rest in bliss…

If you miss Nomadic, but still can lay your hands on a bottle of Amber Elixir Night – it’s definitely worth a try as a replacement. I also find AEN similar to Jeanne Arthes Lover in Dark, only the latter is less creamy, more fruity and spicy, but with a similar enveloping warm woodiness and sweetness. So if Amber Elixir Night is out of reach, Lover in Dark is another very budget friendly option.

I earlier downvoted the similarity with “Ispahan” by Yves Rocher, but I must admit, there is a similar note when Amber Elixir Night dries down on the skin (benzoin maybe?) Something woody, balsamic, and a bit heavy – it did remind me of Ispahan a couple of times. However, overall, I’d say the impressions are very different. Amber Elixir Night is sweeter, creamier, while Ispahan is spicier, sharper, with some freshness – it plays on contrasts. Amber Elixir, on the other hand is a symphony.

Love this for the winter, but can imagine using it for nights in the summer too. It somehow feels more wearable than the original Amber Elixir often described as “bottled autumn.” Maybe it’s just some note that I find a bit persistent and annoying, but the original is sometimes a bit too much, while this “dark” and “winter” flanker feels much more friendly to me and I can’t get enough of it. Again, I think it’s appropriate for nighttime all year around, while the original Amber Elixir always felt too cloying and heavy for any weather above freezing temperatures. They are definitely different. Amber Elixir Night stands on its own - and beautifully so.

WSVE (A Warm and Spicy Vanilla Experience)

This one has character. Period. I know a few people who wrinkle their nose at Oriflame's fragrances, stating that they are all copies of more famous, fashionable and expensive scents. I have quite a few of this brand's lovely ones and I find most of them delightful, wearable and sold at a reasonable price.
AEN is one of its kind. Spicy in the opening, but after a few minutes the vanilla comes forward and this mix can easily keep up with a scent so famous and respected as Dior Addict. Sillage is fair, less than an arm's length but the longevity! Wauw, I must say! Marvellous. It is a bit like carrying a secret for a long time, being able to keep it close to your heart without anyone knowing :)
I even like the bottle. That is where I think Oriflame usually fall behind, not paying enough attention to design. But this bottle is wonderfully heavy, classy with metallic top, a bit like something you picked up at the apothecary in the late 1880s... All in all, well done. Recommendable.
