Very helpful Review 20  
fumo delizioso - or the joy of being
Today I would like to be a little shorter. Today I don't want to fall into poetry or euphemistic, infantile analogies
Today, I would simply like to explain to you why Ambergris Aurea is a true revelation, 22 years after its appearance, and that this fragrance could appear in 22 years and still be a revelation
Many describe this fragrance here as an amber scent. Sorry to disappoint you, but this is NOT a blend of benzoin, styrax resin and labdanum, which is used in other fragrances as an amber accord.

Whether there is still real ambergris in here, I don't know, but the scent is multilayered.

Ambra Aurea shows every time I wear it why I like the brand Profumum Roma so much. Few scents. Simple and straightforward structure and yet an absolutely complex fragrance with outstanding durability and quality.

In my opinion, Ambra Aurea is the Magnus Opum of the Indie House.

Immediately after spraying it on, a warm, opulent, almost caramel-like aura radiates around you with fine, almost silky smoke. Fortunately, this is not scratchy, cold or even dry smoke. From hour to hour the fragrance becomes more and more sweet and fine. I don't want to say sweeter, because then you associate vanilla or something like that. In addition, this slightly balsamic, resinous and smooth smoke is preserved.

The sillage is never atomic but always in the centimetre range. You also get to smell the scent over and over again, which I consider perfect. The durability is not calculated in hours but in days, on clothes even in weeks. This is due to the high concentration of fragrance oil. Here opinions differ. Some report 30%, others even 42%. I can only say that this is the first fragrance where the sprayer is gradually covered by a creamy, crumbly mass. Not bad, you can wipe it off, but in any case the concentration of fragrance oil is extremely high.

I have been sneaking around Ambra Aurea for about 6 months now. But now I am very happy that he has moved in with me, because this fragrance is simply a potpourri of everything I love!

No more, no less.

For those who complain about the price I will give the following information. Ambra Aurea is not a fragrance that you can wear every day, even once a week is too much, especially in the warm months. But nevertheless I can only say that you can wear it at least every two weeks and thus get by with 100ml for several years.

Now the comment has become longer. After all, plans and rules are there to break them, or ?

Thanks a lot!
Your incense

My pregnancy fragrance
I had sniffed Ambra Aurea in a perfumery years ago when I was starting out in perfumery and found it very strong and incense-like...

In the meantime, my fragrance preferences have expanded and also changed quite a bit...

What's more, I'm currently pregnant and perceive everything completely differently at the moment anyway

For the first 5-6 months of my pregnancy, I couldn't smell any smells - and therefore no perfumes either, I immediately felt nauseous.
But then things slowly got better again in terms of scent (sometimes like this, sometimes like that, depending on the day) and now, at the end of the 9th month, just before the birth: no more problems at all ‍️

As a result, I not only had and still have strange pregnancy-related food cravings, but also scent cravings...

I remembered a scent that I had often smelled on vacation in Italy and that I suddenly craved so much out of the blue
I knew it had to be a fragrance with a lot of amber and researched my fragrance brain archive for amber scents...

I came across Ambre Aurea, but couldn't really remember exactly what I thought of the fragrance at the time, only that it must have been strong and incensey but also ambery...
Based on the reviews and the statements here in the forum, I decided to take a chance and simply order Ambra Aurea...

And lo and behold, my absolute bull's eye amber pregnancy fragrance dream ️

...that was in the 8th month and since then I've been wearing the scent on my clothes every day and occasionally a dab on my handkerchief (I don't want to endanger the little mouse with perfume or anything like that)

I'm totally crazy about this scent and look forward to smelling it every morning and having this wonderful amber-myrrh-incense(-vanilla) aura around me ️

Let's see if I still love the scent after the birth It will definitely remind me of my current pregnancy forever

...and now I'm enjoying the last days of pregnancy with my Ambra Aurea ️️️️

Resplendent amber
I'm enjoying wearing Ambra Aurea so intensively today, I had to write a few words to honor it. I own and enjoy other ambers this one seems to grab them up together in one huge warm private hug which lasts all day long. Full of bitter and slightly sweet resins, Ambra Aurea is rich and smoky but still manages to sparkle and shine. You could connect with ancient mediterranean history through it, but I don't feel it as decadent in any way. Has a great longevity but it isn't overwhelming or invasive if you keep up to a couple of sprays. An investment for all true amber lovers.

An oriental opulent versed in resins, magnified.
I'm trying it these days, and I can only say that ... It's Hallucinatory !!! A pity to have such a limited pocket, because if not, a bottle of this elixir would come home right now.

Ambra Aurea is a mix of amber and amazing smoked wood. An amber in all its splendor, sweet, resinous, a tinge dusty with animal and raw touches, and very smoky by the incense, almost touching the liturgical, but without falling squarely on it, a beautiful thing, full of opulence and mastery.

With the first spray, for now, I came to mind "Ambre Fetiche", but it's funny, because when you bring your nose does not smell the same, is a more raw amber, animalic and a tad sweeter, but what projects is Something similar, with that resinous, leaden and somewhat metallic amber that I like so much about AF. Then, little by little, the incense comes into play, making the fragrance a balsamic amber, sweet and very smoky, with a strong load of incense, a smoked wood with sweet nuances of amber, precious. The rest of the perfume is this accord of smoked wood and amber, but with subtle nuances of leather and patchouli, which make the aroma something more complex and precious, staying in skin, until it dies flush with skin gradually. An oriental beauty based on resins, which removes hiccups.

How could it be otherwise the performance of this potion is very good, with a duration in skin that exceeds 10 hours and an important wake in the first hours of the application, then drops to moderate, and progressively goes down to die flush with skin.

A night perfume, of cold and temperate climates. A weapon of mass seduction for an elegant date. It is a perfume of special occasions, it would be a waste to use it every day.

Obligatory proof for all lovers of orientals versed in resins, a unique beauty, not suitable for everyone, the quality of ingredients is noted and as a result, its price is high, but, in my humble opinion, it deserves every cent that is ask for it, a real pity that my pocket is not looser to allow me, right now, a bottle of this elixir, because if not, it would already be in my collection, although I do not rule it out in the near future ...

Sorry for my bad english.

The fragrance that made me
This is the first fragrance that made me deeply understand the love and the art of fragrances. It wasn't love at first sniff, but it stuck in my mind for days and has now become my favorite scent.

Ambra Aurea opens with a strong smokey scent, with notes of tobacco and leather. For me, this combination is a musty old antique store or a library with ancient decaying leather bound books. This can be off-putting at first, but becomes deeply intriguing.

After some wear, the sweetness of vanilla comes through. It takes me back to my father's smokey bee boxes with their honey-filled wax frames.

In the end, the harsh musty smell dissipates almost completely. Leaving you with a playful cream soda sweetness.

This scent is anything you want it to be. It's masculine, it's feminine. It's sexy. It's academic. It's mysterious. Grotesque and alluring. Divisive and inviting. It's definitely not for everyone, but it is never boring and it will make you feel things, as all good art should.

Dusty, smoky opening over an alluring vanilla amber. The best Amber I've discovered so far.

A triad of grey amber, incense and myrrh in an ascetic procession of timeless temptations. Highly recommended!

Less sweet than a typical amber, but far more depth due to the blend of resins. Excellent for those averse to sweet vanillic ambers.

Raw, sharp amber with a dry, airy incense. A benchmark for amber scents really.
