Spicy, Dirty, Amber.

Review based on the original formula, bottle from 2013.

A bold, pungent amber scent built around a smoldering labdanum note. There is plenty of Oud to go with that, loads of spices, mainly in the opening, and smoke. I never got much vanilla or sweetness in Ambre Loup. Reading more recent reviews I figure this one has been changed quite a bit. The Hindi Oud and the Labdanum combo hit quite hard and give off a beautiful animalic character to this perfume. One of the best in the genre, without a doubt. Personally, I never liked sweet amber scents, especially those loaded with vanilla. They just feel plain wrong. Whoever has smelled labdanum on its own will understand why. This is a very good approximation of how a true Amber Fossil accord ought to smell.

Rania J Ambre Loup Review

An amber perfume that's truly unique and that's what Ambre Loup by Rania J is. One of the most original compared to any other amber I have in my collection and i do have 20+ different ambers but I find Rania J Ambre Loup a more cozy amber even with it's spiciness and very light animalic undertones. Very underrated too in fact Rania J is very underrated as a perfume brand. But if you would like to find an amber that's spicy and cozy to wear search no more. To find out more please also watch my video with special guest Ana. Thank you.

Smoky woody comforting amber

A woody smoky amber that reminded me straight off upon wearing of Mona di Orio's Ambre. I compare all the ambers I try to the watermark held by Serge Lutens' Amber Sultan. Lutens' is more of a dry amber and Rania's more cozy and powdery. Amber Sultan always makes me think of a dry arid desert and Rania calls to mind a winter's night in an isolated mountain lodge somewhere far away from my tropical island home. Sillage and longevity wise are both very good, the ingredients are obviously of good quality and overall this is worth its price. In terms of price, this might knock Mona's ambre off my want list.

There are two wolves inside you

Loup means in French wolf, people from ancient times domesticated quite a number of animals, starting with a dog who was the first domesticated animal. However, we never were able to domesticate a wolf.

You may ask how it relates to these perfumes. At the opening, we have harsh, dry, animalic notes. However, during the time the notes are domesticating, the same way wild animals getting used to a man. In the mid, which is here very long-lasting even 5-6 hours we got sweet vanilla, amber notes. On the end about 8-9h it turns out in woodier notes. Did we domesticated wolf here, I would say yes and I like it.

It is really complex, beautiful developing and long-lasting perfumes. By no means do not make an opinion based on a blotter, it needs skin contact and several hours to show all the best it got.

Ambre Loup loop

The scent that opened up this house for me. I am a bit of an amber fiend but they still have to offer something different to me to be worthy of a bottle. Here is my quick review of Ambre Loup by Rania Jouaneh. Thank you
