a non-groundbreaking but good fruity warm amber
Didn't blow me away, but it definitely understood the assignment.
Rich, pleasant fruity amber, that feels very dense, resinous and somewhat boozy - it does, in fact, have something liquor-ish and/or edible about it, like drinking something delicious in an Oriental market.

That being said, I don't find it particularly outstanding among all the good-smelling perfumes in the same category. I'm surely gonna finish my sample and I would totally wear it if I somehow got in possession of a bottle, but this doesn't compel me enough to actually buy one for my collection.

Pleasant but there are way more interesting releases from the brand, and more unique takes on a similar scent profile (Plum in Cognac by Scents of the Wood is the first that comes to my mind).

Beautiful, dark, resinous plum blend.
Une Nuit Nomade – Ambre Khandjar is a dark, spicy, sweet mix that has notes of plum, resins, and vanilla in the foreground, with some supporting notes of orris, mandarin, ylang ylang, sandalwood, and patchouli. At first smell, it smells of a blend of Tom Ford Tobacco Oud, Tobacco Oud Intense, and Plum Japonais, all together in some varying proportions. It’s very easily lovable for fans of such fragrances, or those who enjoy sweet, resinous fragrances with a darker vibe.

It doesn’t perform quite as well as the Tom Ford examples, but its retail pricing $120 for 50ml (at Luckyscent, Neiman Marcus), much more affordable (half the price) of the Tom Ford offerings, at least at retail. And even though it’s reminiscent of some of these examples, it definitely has its own character; it’s clearly distinct from each of the examples; it has the plum that TO and TOI lack, and has much more intense resins than in PJ.

For me, this an instant love, and I think I’ll want to seek out a bottle at some point.

RUM RAISIN!
First I feel a smell of rum raisin. Plum and mandarin orange, could it be true?
I love it!! I have only got 8 ml, and I use it on special occations. After I feel vanilla and sandalwood.
I got it as a gift and I want it SOOOOOO much.

Beautiful smoked plum
Ambre Khandjar is a beautiful, fruity, amber and balsamic perfume. It makes an impression right from the opening, in which we are immediately treated to an extremely dense and dry blast of dried and smoked plums.
I am not a big fan of the aroma of these fruits in perfumes, but in the version of smoked plum that we get in Ambre Khandjar I like it very much. The plum is wonderfully combined with resin, the light sweetness of vanilla, the balsamic nature of benzoin and the buttery-creamy mix of other notes. The whole thing is wonderfully balsamic, sweetish, dry and oriental.
I lack better parameters to be completely happy. Such a thick, rich mixture should last with appropriate strength for long hours, and in the meantime longevity surprises on the downside, it is very average. That is why I do not know if I will decide to buy a bottle.

Smells like a souq
On the first spray , the smell was a realy strong incense it was like a table full of incense , the opening lasted like an hour on me but the overall longevity was not very long smell it for 2-3 hours with 3 sprays but anything more than that is too strong.After the opening we can smell the smell of the vanilla mixed with sandalwood . In my opinion the opening is way better than the dry down

After a big, jammy plum opening, the show really begins with the mid-to-late drydown. A dryness appears. Sticky becomes smoky. Great.

Unisex but slightly feminine leaning and a little sharp. It would be especially attention grabbing on a man. Super alluring!

Lots of juicy, syrupy plum with something like cinnamon, not listed but very well present. It's more fruity than ambery in my opinion

There was an ivory on an ebony stand in my grandfather's study. I feel it's like the ivory scent I smelled when I was young.

Spicy notes of vanilla, mandarin, plum and sandalwood intertwine with rich amber and leather. A scent that evokes the opulence of the Orient

Not entirely original - think Ambre Sultan, woody amber on a creamy base - BUT: this one is darker, more masculine with smoky plum.

Sharp benzoin, patchouli and sandalwood dry down to a more subtle resin. Warm, oriental and spicy, synthetic. No plum.

In the sky of Oman‘s
Where plums rain
Into our hands
We see stars twinkle
With lovely labdanum
That shines amber-balsamic
That's how it is
