Here the price is the niche
Yesterday, while I was clearing out my briefcase, a forgotten filling of this good substance rolled towards me. I have had RdA on my watch list for quite some time, but I was no longer aware that I had already received a sample of this. My surprise and joy was great!
Although I wore a completely different fragrance behind my ears yesterday, I immediately sprayed Rive d'Ambre generously on my wrist because my joy was so great. And of course the impatience even a little bit bigger.
At first I was a bit reminded of Mandarino di Amalfi, whereby in the top note at RdA the Mandarine/Lemon was rather exchanged for a ripe orange. Later the composition gets even darker and loses more and more citric in my nose and changes into a dark, sweet area. I like this one very much. If the fragrance description didn't say "Cognac", I probably wouldn't smell him as such. But if you know what to look for, it is clearly perceptible and makes the dark citric/sweet Gesamtkunstwerk even more special.
Even if the good Rive d'Ambre will probably never move in as a bottle with me due to a blatantly high list price, because I don't find it worth owning (in principle, the price makes it a niche fragrance), it is a really special, but nevertheless round fragrance, very pleasing and somehow palatable. The Sillage is socially acceptable and the shelf life is ok. Whereby the test on the wrist does not necessarily promote the durability, since the shirt sleeve or the laying down of the wrist when writing on keyboards wears the smell certainly more strongly than a spraying behind the ears.
For me, this would be the first citric stone to be worn perfectly in an autumn storm, an Antarctic crossing or a January mudflat hike. In the heat it would be a little bit too heavy for me personally.
A trial sniff is worthwhile in any case and maybe you can get a "bargain" somewhere.
Thanks for reading and a nice remaining weekend.
