Ormonde Jayne Ambre Royal Review

This is my Ormonde Jayne Ambre Royal Review, an Ambre Royal by Ormonde Jayne Fragrance Review. This was a love at first sniff fragrance. I had heard a lot about Ormonde Jayne and had smelled many of their offerings during my travels in Europe but never really spent too much time with the fragrances until Ambre Royal. Being the fan of amber fragrances I jumped at reviewing this beautiful and classy release from Ormonde Jayne created by Geza Schoen. This certainly is a royal amber the name says it all. Classy and very unisex. I picture myself wearing Ambre Royal at formal occasions because it just reeks of class. From first impressions of the bottle and packaging to the juice inside, 100% sophistication and British class. I enjoy this beautiful new amber by Ormonde Jayne, Ambre Royal and will certainly put it to use as it wears beautifully on me. From top notes to base notes, gorgeous. If you don’t know Ambre Royal please do check it out as I think you will enjoy the classiness of this beautiful release from the British brand Ormonde Jayne. Please watch my review to find out more about Ormonde Jayne Ambre Royal Review. Thank you.

Oh my!

What an intoxicating, seductive, strongly projecting scent! It has completely swept me off my feet. To me it leans more masculine, so it isn´t one for me, but I need this in my life on my man. I can´t pick any note out, nor do I want to really, it is so beautifully blended and so addictive, that all I really want is to come back to it again and again. I am absolutely in love with it!

Molecular amber

This is a stretch, so bear with me - but is it possible that Ambre Royal is Ormonde Jayne's riposte to Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Baccarat Rouge 540? Both follow a basic formula of something candied joined to a spacey, metallic Ambrox overload that sends the whole thing shooting off into space. Both are sweet (in an acceptably masculine manner) and enormously radiant. Both fragrances affect me in an almost physical sense. Some portions leave me nose blind, while other portions drive an Ambrox-shaped ice pick into the most tender and vulnerable part of my brain. I can't wear either of them for an extended length of time without wanting to boil my skin off to make it stop, but I did anyway, because reviews based on a quick sniff rather than a full day's wear are only 10% of the story.

On my skin, Ambre Royal smells absolutely awful at first. I am assaulted by this sense of boiled sweets melted down and smeared over salty fishing tackle - a queasy mélange of Maltol, shiny lab musks, the sweaty, aftershavey radiance of Ambrox, and the bone-dry, faux-cedar crackle of Iso E Super. Smells like the essence of Man on steroids. But the Sporty Modern Man edition, because it sure is sweet.

But listen, this is Ormonde Jayne, and they are never just going to leave this accord hanging around all on its own like that. So the ugliness of the initial chords gets gentled down in a bed of powdery musks, amber, myrrh, and (real-smelling) cedarwood that smells like an expensive wooden box full of antique amber resin. It's not rich, but light, expansive, and nicely salty. It reminds me of the black licorice-inflected almond play-dough feel (tonka bean and myrrh) of Alien Absolue, minus the overt jasmine notes. I warm up to Ambre Royal at precisely this point where I stop smelling aftershave and start smelling the anisic custard accord I love so much in the Mugler, though the Ormonde Jayne take on the theme has been lighted and aerated so much that it bears only a distant relationship to Alien Absolue's thick, gouty bullishness. I don't know what kind of black magic has been employed to massage something so brutal into the shape of luxuriousness, but that's Ormonde Jayne for you. I just wish we'd been treated to the smooth stuff from the get-go rather than having to sweat through the unpleasantly metallic ambery goop at the start. But that's ok. This clearly isn't my thing.

Before I posted this review, I checked the fragrance again, this time spraying on paper - and what a revelation! Ambre Royal behaves very differently on paper than on my skin. Paper slows its roll. I'm treated to a drawn-out procession of some pretty wonderful notes that had whizzed right by me the last few times. I smell anise, red and purple berries, licorice vines, velvety musks, gin and tonic, gripe water, and a sort of creamy, candied white musk-custard accord that reminded me immediately of the amazing Musc Nomade (Annick Goutal), all shot through with the piney, cedary aftershave notes of Ambrox and Iso E Super, which are now subdued under the indolent weight of silky amber notes. Quite a different experience. If it weren't socially unacceptable to wear perfume via paper strips taped to one's pulse points, that's totally how I'd handle Ambre Royal.

A noble scent

I have had, and tried, many Amber perfumes. But this one is top. Based upon reading about Geza Schoen's efforts to use excellent ingredients, I like to confirm that they shine through in this creation. The price is accordingly steep, but there are no regrets. You can buy 5 spray bottles of 8 ML and have travel sizes and gifts for others.

So as I am sitting comfortably in a chair, reading about bitcoins, my mind starts to wander as the delicious wafts of scent travel from my right arm into the surrounding air.

The opening is fresh and minced with light citrus elements. The middle gets thicker, and I am reminded of French milled soap, of that lasting rich creaminess. Speaking of lasting, this perfume lasts many many hours and then rests on the skin like a patchouli, amber and musk harmony. All in all, to me it seems like a slightly salty amber perfume, but amber is not in the foreground, the whole composition is so light, airy and still creamy and ever so lightly powdery that it is actually difficult to pinpoint a definite note standing out. Very discreet and elegant, suitable for men also, I believe.

This is not a perfume that announces the wearer, rather it becomes a part of the presence of the person.

That's it. The glass bottle is nice for display but that is only an object, the scent in it counts, and that I bought in travel sprays.

Ambre Royal Review | Sophistication in a bottle!

Ambre Royal to me smells very sophisticated at the same time complex. It’s definitely not your classic Amber. Not at all. Its more of a floral amber with a decent dose of Ambroxan and it has kind of peach or an apricot like aroma which definitely comes from the Osmanthus which gives this scent a leathery/ fruity

Ambre Royal oozes class. It’s velvety and lasts long on the skin. It’s a scent that will fill the room and creates this beautiful scent cloud around you when you wear it. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I wanted to find a scent that smells similar to Ambre Royal but I couldn’t as it’s so unique and has a lot of character. ⁣
I can say Ambre Royal can be best enjoyed in Summer but you can wear this any time of the year and it will make you feel good. ⁣⁣
