Basically, I agree with Gandix, but whatever: Florence. 16th century. Bring it on ;)

With sweat under the powder, I can really feel the crumbs. Otherwise, it sounds nice.

On me, amber often has a sweet-salty back and forth, one moment it’s one way and then with the next sniff it’s the opposite - that’s why I love this accord so much. ;)

Despite the powdery notes, it's also suitable for men, for certain occasions.

At first very dense, then it lightens up and becomes almost cloud-like.

I'd love to. :) It had me from the first test with its delicate hay facet.

I need to check if there's a discovery set available that I can share - a few others sound good too.

I usually have my issues with powdery scents (they often give me a throbbing sensation behind my forehead), but not with this one. It has a subtle, skin-like note, hints of dew-soaked hay - maybe it's just my imagination, but I also get a warm minerality (similar to sun-warmed terracotta pots) and a hint of flowering water mint - herbal-bitter yet with a delicate sweetness.
A lovely little fragrance, and the price for 100ml is really quite reasonable. I like it!
Thanks to @Licorice for providing the sample. 🤝
I definitely need to explore this house further...
