Amber, the stuff of... Crap is made of.
Before we reach for the amber stars a short digression:
I recently got to test what it means to swim in the afternoon at Louis Vuitton. They call it "Afternoon Swim" and package it in light blue transparent vials. The result after a short but intense splash was refreshing, but unfortunately I constantly had the feeling that Lous Vuitton had located his pool directly at a farm and the adjacent cowshed.
What does the whole thing have to do with Amber Stars by Xerjoff?
After applying Amber Stars stings me again, but only initially this penetrating and now already familiar scent in the mind.
What can that be?
Well, a quick look at the fragrance notes expose the two commonalities of the 2 Dufte, which seen as a whole, but have very very little in common:
Amber!
This provocative introduction goes quite with the (for me) provocative opening of this high quality and complex fragrance.
It just has to be ambergris that makes the immediate association with me to the farm, more specifically, the cow barn in the neighboring village of my home.
Not absolutely horrible, if you're into pure nature, but pay extra to wear it on your skin, I really don't want to.
But as already mentioned, this amber develops in the Amber Stars of Xerjoff but after a short time to a relatively tart and dark fragrance mixture, which truly reaches to the stars.
The contained ylang-ylang, which can also be strongly perceived, awakens in me further similarities to the Black Orchid perfume by Tom Ford (the golden bottle) and that alone makes the fragrance good. In the highly complex and fine drydown are further also the bourbon vanilla for me more noticeable, but to filter out individual fragrance notes, my nose is simply not enough still trained.
To readers of this review not to get lost: this fragrance has altogether purely nothing to do with Afternoon Swim by LV, which is definitely rather a fragrance for warm days, whereas Amber is probably optimal for colder days, as they come now.
The fragrance fits better for me in the evening to elegant clothes and is absolutely unisex suitable for me. At the same time I see the fragrance both in women and men with style and upscale wardrobe as well as age. (Absolutely no high school prom potential)
Durability and sillage is very strong, and to the projection I can hardly say something concrete, but would think that he properly bangs (but with style of course;)
I will not buy the fragrance so soon, also because the price shocks and deters from it.
Should I do that but ever, that is with certainty rather a grip on the stars than a grip in the dunghill!

Afternoon Swim is more of a fresh summer scent whereas Nuit de Feu is a very animalic scent which definitely fits more to "cowshed".
That said: A detailed, beautiful and helpful description of what seems to be a thoroughly exceptional fragrance. Cups!
Well here we go? Does that apply to statements as well? Am very afraid right now of hurting feelings by what I upload.
