This scent caught me off guard
At the event, I’m going to report on the Amber Fougere. Among all the bottles that looked almost identical, one immediately caught my eye: Amber Fougere.

When I sprayed it, something unexpected happened. The scent hit me with force, almost demanding - pepper, bergamot, a freshness that instantly grabbed my attention. For a moment, it was as if someone had turned down the background noise around me. Everything focused on this aroma.

Then came the lavender. Not the typical, clean lavender like in hand soaps, but one that had depth, character. It evoked memories of old barbershops, of straight razors and leather chairs, of something classic that has almost disappeared today.

But it was only when the warmer notes emerged - amber, balsamic resins, this slightly smoky quality - that I felt how much the scent captivated me. It was as if it spoke to a layer within me that I rarely show in everyday life: the calm, confident, slightly mysterious side.

I noticed that I unconsciously kept smelling my wrist, almost like a little secret that belonged only to me. While people around me continued to talk and laugh, I carried this invisible, intimate experience with me.

When I later went home, the scent was still there - warm, enveloping, almost like a quiet reminder of the evening. I thought to myself: This was not just a perfume test. This was a small moment that has etched itself into my memory.

masculine, Oldschool Fougere with immense pepper content
V: Amber Fougere is really an intense fragrance! It is very, very spicy and immediately shows its peppery side!

It starts with citrus notes like elemi resin and bergamot, but then the pepper comes in right away. I found it to be very intense and slightly overwhelming, as the pepper overshadows everything.
At the same time, it is also wonderfully masculine and so noble/elegant. You can really wear it wonderfully anywhere (office, leisure - it doesn't matter). It just fits always and in every season.

Sillage and longevity could be better for the price.

But decide for yourself.

The special and overlooked... / More love for... / A little secret weapon and MY wife's favorite!
Hello everyone,

today I would like to talk about a fragrance that has stuck in my mind for years, and now we have one of my favorite scents from Clive Christian here, I'm talking about "Private Collection - V: Amber Fougere | Clive Christian".

I tested this once before Corona and even back then I knew that I would eventually "love" it intensely, but maybe I wasn't 100% ready for it at that time = possible! Because I'm not a FAN of vetiver, but fortunately I perceive it less...

It opens with a real POWER of bergamot, pepper, and a bit of vetiver, but very quickly this beautiful lavender note comes in and perfectly develops that fougere touch. The bergamot disappears and the vetiver fades into the background, while the pepper lingers a bit, playing in perfection with the lavender, and you have the barbershop vibe of days gone by. Then the pepper disappears, while the lavender still appears very dominant, it stays in that stage while slowly the mix of cedarwood, elemi resin, fir balsam, and amber sets in..., this mix is so incredibly noble and graceful... and this scent feels truly magical...

Fougere fragrances are less those that come on or off well (like, for example, Platinum Égoïste Eau de Toilette), but here it is really very, very different. The first hour or for 2 hours it goes in the fougere direction, but afterwards... my feedback was 4x in one day a WOW (!) + a compliment or turning around, and ultimately I can recommend it to you, not just because of the comments...

By the way, "Private Collection - V: Amber Fougere | Clive Christian" is one of my wife's favorites and mine at the moment too!

Overlooked and less appreciated!?

For me, understandable and yet not understandable!

Understandable: Price, quite rare - no one speaks WELL about it and maybe you need a certain age to appreciate it!
Not understandable: The quality, among other things, is really absurdly high (good)!

That's why more love for....!

I see the performance as good+ to very good when combined with other fragrances.

Tips for LAYERS:

Le Mâle Eau de Toilette creates a subtle sweetness in the drydown, a cooling factor, and a performance of 16h+.

With Reflection 45 you get a clean, very creamy "KILLER" with a truly insane performance of 22h and more.

And Molecule 01 massively increases the performance without distorting it (15h).

Still far too few know its true potential...!

If I really weren't convinced, I wouldn't recommend it to you!

And now have a nice day/evening or whenever you read this review, best regards, Benny

You had better like black pepper. The opening is like taking the lid off a pepper shaker and just diving right in.

Well made, pleasant yet generic. Spicy, woody, aromatic, very traditionally masc scent. Reminds me of my father when I was a kid. Classy.

Dominant smoky vetiver, sharp with a thin veil of smoke obscuring jaggered dry woods.

Smoky fougère. Strong vetiver, peppery, beautifully balsamic cedar underneath.
Lavender always shines.
Distinctive elemi base.

Dreamy peppery, lavender-soft citrus, vetiver, lightly leathery iris, and above all, elemi. A pepper fougère of the finest quality. °°°

Forest opening. Moss. Resins.
Ground. Herb. It grows.
Lots of lavender. Everywhere.
Dense. Lush. Woody.
It clears.
Barbershop remains.
