Hello everyone,
i'll start with a few possibly informative points.
1. I never wanted to buy fragrances from the house again, but why? I'll say it directly - because of the price, because at 20€ to 30€ and sometimes even more per ml is too much even for me as a true "fragrance lover" and the merchant in me then says = do you really need it.... Indirectly, we also come to the raw materials, their quality and co. and as far as this topic is concerned, EO is the absolute Champions League. More is virtually impossible and yes... indirectly you also have to pay for this, but anyone who is interested in such a product or wants such a fragrance will know this too!
2. After
Iris Ghalia Parfum, the
Homeros Parfum (Ambre Limited), and the
Oud SQ Pure Parfum, among others, there should be an end to this.... but I kept getting a sample of
Jamaican Ambergris and after X months of TESTING I bought a bottle of
Jamaican Ambergris TODAY, even though I never wanted another one... So it must be able to do something...
________________
About the fragrance:
It starts wonderfully rosy, very fleshy, deep red = you can almost feel the quality! Right at the beginning for the first 3 minutes it seems as if there are still red (very fruity) berries in it. After 15 minutes, the rose recedes into the second row (but stays there).
And slowly the ambergris enters the room, there is something smoky, a very subtle vanilla greets from afar and yes the pure ambergris..., how do you describe it? Mysterious, mystical, heavy and light at the same time and absolutely beautiful when combined with the matching notes.
As it progresses, we notice something woody, something creamy (probably a mix of frangipani + sandalwood). And it also ends very calmly, but it always retains this mystical character.
Why did I choose this one, even though I didn't really want another EO?
I'm a big fan of ambergris and when it comes across as somewhat mystical, like
Baikal Gris Extrait de Parfum or
Atlantic Ambergris II, then a fragrance already has my attention. And in my eyes (personal opinion!) it is a small work of art. The many TESTS of the last few months at 30°C and more was not bad either, because used discreetly (1 spray) it works very well there too!
Opinion on the oud!
I've been reading a lot lately along the lines of quote,
Smelly, fecal, disgusting and co. either I'm scent-blind or I don't know... You can smell wood yes, smoky and ambery, but certainly nothing fecal and bad! (In my eyes, it's one of the house's most beginner-friendly fragrances. I know completely different things about the house...
How does it arrive?
My wife didn't like it at first, not at all. But after X months she is very happy when I use it! I had exactly the same experience at work! Thanks to
Jamaican Ambergris, among other things, I'm looking forward to the colder days!
In general...
It is and remains special and should be used as such, because otherwise its MAGIC may evaporate very quickly and using such an expensive fragrance almost every day = you can do it, but I advise against it, also financially...
The dear money / the purchase price:
I am PITY to talk about whether a purchase makes sense or not, in this respect it is very relative and my views may not be like yours and vice versa... . From a purely commercial point of view (which I am, among other things) I can say = test it, then we'll see!
And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny

(Now the same as almost always - because it's true!)
Now on the subject of luxury:
As you can see in my profile, among other things, I have really smelled many fragrances and there are fragrances where you smell a certain (partly) strong synthetic and you notice quite quickly that some fragrance houses go for quantity rather than quality and there are some where you just realize "oh come on, let's put more + better in" and you can smell this at the end of the day.
Very briefly on the subject of OVP, bottle, sprayer:
I'll make it short, I give it an 8 out of 10 in each category and I know very well that tastes are very different. So if you honestly rate this with a 6 or less... - PUH. Nice and valuable lid, beautiful timeless flacon design etc. .... so I find it very difficult to rate it differently and I'm not saying this because I like a brand or not!
Now a quick word on the subject of my opinion:
I am not sponsored, influenced by anyone, receive money or anything else. I approach the subject of parfumo as I am, honestly, everything else is not mine. My real personal opinion is worth a lot to me and maybe I hope ;) that you notice that. If I don't like something, e.g. OVP, bottle, sprayer or H/S, then I communicate this!
