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

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!

Extremely dense, heavy, warm, powerful amber. Makes you feel like you have been sprayed with molten gold. Very situational, not for everyday

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

Strong, enjoyable, but simple, boring and ... it is 25 years old. It is not sexy.

The king of ambers.

Dark, mysterious, otherworldly, from the universe of Dune.

My skin doesn't take to most incense fragrances well. They usually smell musty on me, but not this one. It's a different amber fragrance.

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.

Masterclass in Amber
This is a fragrance that makes me want to rub my face against someone, like a cat. I want to get closer to the notes and hope it rubs off on me as well.

This is a different kind of amber. Its not full of vanilla like other amber scents, this one is dense and spicy. It sticks to your skin, providing warmth and comfort. Woody and resinous, almost smoky, notes add depth and entices your senses as well as others. It does sweeten on the dry down but retains the spicy woody notes. This fragrances lasted all day, over 8 hours and the projection is pretty strong (not beast mode, just shy of being that level of obnoxious). It is €265 for 100ml and €90 for 18ml.

My one complaint, it stained my skin. It turned my skin a sickly yellow color, like a days old bruise. So, if I were to buy this in the future I would only spray somewhere hidden and not on my clothes if they are lighter in color.

The most beautiful amber ever
Incredibly beautiful perfume. Amber is my favourite note and I’m glad that I found the most beautiful amber for me. Very elegant fragrance but also seductive.
In the opening there is a strong ambergris while the drydown is dominant by incense, but basically this is a linear perfume.
On of the very rare ambers that is not sweet.
The perfume is unisex, but more on the masculine side.
Longevity is over 12 hours, while projection is moderately strong.
