Very helpful Review
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.
