A very generic fruity floral perfume, but it is inexpensive.
Majouri is a Paris-based company that makes inexpensive perfumes with a Middle Eastern flair. These perfumes are heavily discounted these days. I picked up Sweet Ambrette without testing because it was very cheap on Jomashop. I am not familiar with Laure Santantoni, the perfumer behind Sweet Ambrette.
The olfactory pyramid of Sweet Ambrette is very simple. The notes listed on Majouri’s website and others are bergamot, pear, lily of the valley, ambrette and musk. There is not much development in Sweet Ambrette as I can smell all the notes throughout the progression, though at varying levels. The opening bergamot is quickly overcome by the pear and the floral notes. The sweet floral note is supposedly lily of the valley, but it doesn’t identify itself strongly to my nose. The intense fruity floral character defines Sweet Ambrette. Unfortunately, this personality robs this perfume of any depth in character. The base notes are musk and ambrette seeds with some pear still hanging around. The ending is not bad, but quite unexceptional.
The performance of Sweet Ambrette is good, not great. After eight hours, I can smell the pear and musk on my clothes, but little remains on my skin. It will project well for the first few hours. You can use it an office perfume if you spray it a few hours in advance, but I don’t this for office because its fluffy sweet personality.
The main selling point of Sweet Ambrette is that it is cheap. It is ordinary in its design and accords, but I wouldn’t complain as it cost me less than $40. Majouri’s Secret Love has a similar personality with different fruity floral notes. If you want an inexpensive pear with some floral notes, Sweet Ambrette will work. But there is nothing here to talk about.
