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.
