Ambra del Nepal Spezierie Palazzo Vecchio Eau de Parfum
Helpful Review
Something Coarsely Woven Weighed
It rises strangely airy from my arm, with a spacious portion of all the aforementioned innards; thick, slightly sweet, and heavy, the notes weigh in the air.
The listed ingredients are discernible from the start, provided you know them, for this fragrance is well interwoven. Although rough and angular, no accord unnecessarily screams or blares around the corners; even though the scent comes through penetratingly and with a loudly swollen chest.
Inside, a spicy, bright sharp coriander note nestles against quiet but dark patchouli and incense tones. The labdanum resin along with amber strives to be both pillow and blanket for all these notes, so to speak, enveloping them and making them sluggish and pleasantly warm as amber del Nepal begins.
Dirty, tarry accents of amber traverse this spicy, narcotic cloud, and I find this peculiar way of a fragrance appealing.
The coriander takes away some of the heaviness of the scent, not that it becomes lighter in the immediate sense, but the peppery sharpness gives the fragrance a smoky, perhaps even ethereal character. This discordant scent image resonates well with the buzzing tones of labdanum, and I perceive the idea itself as almost innovative.
However, it seems to me that it is all excessively much, too much coriander, too much amber and labdanum, and far too much of too many remnants that one can still discern in between.
As the scent progresses, it refines itself with some honey-like notes, it becomes sweeter but even heavier, almost clumsy now. Amber del Nepal unfortunately behaves somewhat awkwardly with so much olfactory weight, it pulls it downwards at every corner; thus, the scent begins to settle after a short time, or rather, it starts to congeal.
Now a chocolate-like patchouli, along with incense clamor, emerges from a belly of labdanum. The incense here is not ethereal but heavily burdensome and shrouded in deep spicy tones. The notes become increasingly difficult to perceive, everything blurs into one; when individual aspects do emerge, they are soon swallowed again.
Thus, amber del Nepal, after half an hour of scent progression, collapses into a pudding-amber bastard.
One cannot speak of top, heart, and base with this fragrance, so one can begin reading this commentary wherever one wishes. It is a conglomerate where coriander and amber are predominant in the top, labdanum resin in the heart, and patchouli in the base.
Essentially, I am not a great lover of such overwhelming fragrances, yet I somehow like this one a little; it has something heavy about it, it is simple and even awkward, corpulent and almost decadent, coarse and scratchy, yet inside incredibly soft and cozy.
