The Imperfect Perfection....

Hello everyone,

without much fuss, let's get straight to the point.

I know all 3 Jamaican Ambergris and I own 2 myself!
(There are these three, but most know the "Jamaican Ambergris Maroke SQ | Ensar Oud / Oriscent", the "Jamaican Ambergris Pinoy LTD | Ensar Oud / Oriscent", and the more recent "Jamaican Ambergris | Ensar Oud / Oriscent")

How exactly do they differ?

The newer and cheaper one is the "Jamaican Ambergris | Ensar Oud / Oriscent" and somehow also the safest and YES maybe, also the most pleasing and simplest.

And recently I got the "Jamaican Ambergris Pinoy LTD | Ensar Oud / Oriscent" and not the "Jamaican Ambergris Maroke SQ | Ensar Oud / Oriscent", but isn't the "Jamaican Ambergris Maroke SQ | Ensar Oud / Oriscent" better?

YES it is, but it is too perfect, too wonderful, and too straightforward for me - not too simple (!), but the point is, I LOVE this fragrance direction and the regular "Jamaican Ambergris | Ensar Oud / Oriscent" is already (for me) sufficiently lovely and good-natured ;) enough.

Sometimes I look for something with character..., something with edges and that's exactly what the "Jamaican Ambergris Pinoy LTD | Ensar Oud / Oriscent" is.

I know, many will say that if I want one (of the 3), then the "Jamaican Ambergris Maroke SQ | Ensar Oud / Oriscent" would be the best.
___________

About the scent:

Describing the exact difference is a bit difficult - why?

With almost every wear, new facets emerge, certain accords are perceived with different intensity, and sometimes it develops slower and sometimes faster. I generally find that very exciting.

In the first 20 minutes, you notice more wood, more jasmine, and it sometimes seems a bit "sour" compared to the other two - they don't have that. After about 1 hour, all 3 are quite similar. They all have that well-known mineral, slightly salty, and minimally smoky ambergris touch with the dry vanilla (not sweet). Only here with the "Jamaican Ambergris Pinoy LTD | Ensar Oud / Oriscent" you can tell that the woodiness plays even more (very, very soft oud) and after 6 to 7 hours, the sandalwood slowly starts to come in, giving it that beautiful creaminess in the drydown, which is noticeable.

The "Jamaican Ambergris Maroke SQ | Ensar Oud / Oriscent" has this too, but definitely not as intensely!

I know it will never be received as well (by you) as it is by me, but that's completely okay, that's very relative in my opinion. Because most will only have one anyway... I, for example, LOVE this fragrance direction very much!

H/S:

Partially, I cannot understand the given ratings here.
Because anything below a 9 is absolutely incomprehensible to me.
Because it lasts 12 hours and sometimes much longer on you, and among the Eo's I have + know, it is one of the strongest... (H/S)

Can I recommend it?

And yes, in general, I would encourage you to test it. Anyone who likes ambergris can't go wrong in that regard! Even if YOU will never get one (sample), this experience is one that no one can take away from you ;) ..

One more general note!

Please test it directly on your skin and don't just smell the sprayer or a test strip. Fragrances from the EO brand (including ALD) smell very different on the skin. Only there do they really unfold their certain charm.

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

fruity Caribbean island banana & peach cuddling buttery on the beach under wooden umbrella licking chocolate ice cream then rain falls on vetiver moss

buttery resinous yellow fruits
soft and cuddly surrounded by chocolate musk the blue amber sea smells like vacation the oud smells like a 1:33 mixture with lacquered wood bitter camphor-like medications
the little flowers fight against the exhaust fumes lavender purple and fresh the oak moss, vetiver, and amber are somehow the same just
differentiated by color from the balsamic beach holiday the scent becomes increasingly smoky with lacquer and leather the oud presses terribly
and joyfully resins with the musk also becomes noticeably present the cuddling has long been over cheesy foot amber
ultimately shows who is in charge it is excellent.
As always, it's a matter of taste
but how can one waste so many
absolutely high-quality raw materials it feels to me like throwing everything in and seeing what happens
depending on preferences well for me it is too brutal and inconsistent every note bites into the neck I am the strongest and so on. The scent has no soul and no charm for me I miss the love for detail like before I also don't like gasoline flowers or fruits that taste like resin oh and there is not a bit of sweetness present in short I don't like the new oud
it's always the same theater
lately hardly any scent stands out like before.
Thank you to Schoeibksr for the testing opportunity :)

Rough Sea

Dry animalistic reminiscences, a symbiosis of balsamic notes and gnarled, particle-covered wood; an abandoned library, forgotten knowledge in myriads of passing paths. Ensar Oud's creations are largely successful for me. The number of releases feels infinitesimal, yet time and again, there are some gems for every taste, so I did not search here but found. I found a moderately woody oud. Light resins, rather dry and without screaming intensity, the amber balanced and enveloping, initially unable to evoke impressions, to awaken desire. But gradually, it does.

Torn light, divided sandalwood, a supporting actor within the olfactory whirlpool, serving as a vessel, multiplying other ingredients. Numinosity; on one hand, tolerating the dusty wood, on the other hand, fascinated by the notes that initially seem somewhat ordinary, which, in the bundle of ingredients, offer more than just a mere addition of the same.
Not perceiving the rose circle, only fleeting floral traces, quickly washed away, so Jamaican Ambergris makes its grand course. A nosedive through infinities, in the shadow of space and time.

Amber in golden morning rays, multifaceted, powerful. A radiant shell, a temptation of animalistic light, carried by fire or rather smoke from a resinous source. A glow from the ashes, soon extinguished embers. Oud offers so much, devouring the Massoia bark; occupation plus subsequent absorption of the best Massoia characteristics.
Barren landscape, gnarled bushes, sandstone, scorching sun, a sea lost to gravity, that’s what I think of with Jamaican Ambergris. Even though I see maritime nuances through the amber, through the Philippine oud, which appears like a sea in the fog, like smoking shipwrecks on the high seas, I also perceive the diametrical ambivalence. Water is life, dust is past life, and both are offered here olfactorily.

Not every fragrance can awaken worlds, but Jamaican Ambergris certainly can for me. Perhaps this world is marked by some malus but is all the more intense for not being perfect. Ensar has created a formidable fragrance here, unfortunately not something that comes with every release these days.

Twilight Zone

I’ll start like this - I have become cautious with Ensar Oud.
I am and remain a big fan of Ensar's creations, but the recent releases have mostly been "flops" for me, to be honest. Since "Siber Extreme," there hasn't really been anything that has truly convinced me. And as I have mentioned frequently by now, with the prices, a fragrance MUST convince 100%.

Due to this realization, I now force myself to sample every fragrance first - even if it means that the potential purchase candidate might already be "sold out" by the time the sample arrives. If in doubt, SOMEONE SOMEWHERE will certainly want to sell their bottle again.

In the case of JaAm, I was torn. On one hand, I really like ambergris, but on the other hand, I found it unbearable in Tigerwood PP. Some ingredients like Jambu or Massoia bark were completely unknown to me until now. Is that good or bad? It could be interesting. But it could also go wrong since with Ensar, in most cases, you have to rely at least initially on the note descriptions and your olfactory memory. But if you don't know certain ingredients at all... difficult.

By the way, Jambu is a plant native to Brazil, which not only serves as a spice for traditional dishes but also finds use in pain therapy, as the spilanthol contained in the plant acts as a natural painkiller.

The Massoia tree is a laurel family plant from Indonesia, whose bark is processed into "Massoia lactones" using steam distillation. The essential oil obtained from it has an intensely bitter coconut scent.

Another factor that I found both very exciting and very critical - "Pinoy LTD Edition." The Pinoy LTD. is once again one of Ensar's famously notorious Oriscent oils. I have had the opportunity to smell this Oud in its pure form and was extremely impressed back then, even though I knew that I would never spend $1500 for 3g of Oud. Pinoy LTD is a rare Filipino Oud with a very special character. On one hand, it smells very "blue," almost maritime, which is probably why Ensar chose this Oud as a complement to the also oceanic ambergris; on the other hand, it is also smoky and slightly powdery. A truly extraordinarily good oil. So was this claim an artistically successful move, or was it just another reason to drive up the price and generate hype, similar to the "Chinese Exclusive"? More on that shortly.

Let's first talk about the scent.
I really like the opening. After the first spray, an incredibly pleasant, exotic, tropical scent unfolds that actually reminds me of a Caribbean vacation. Somehow fruity, floral, but at the same time, you immediately perceive a very strong ambergris note. And that is truly brilliant. Slightly animalistic, salty-mineral - the scent of sun-dried sea salt on the skin. As if you were sipping a fruity cocktail right on the white sandy beach. In the background, the sound of the sea. So the name fits not only in relation to the ingredients but also in relation to the olfactory impressions in my mind. Strong!

However, in the middle, my initial enthusiasm was somewhat dampened. Somehow, the fragrance gradually develops into a very jasmine-heavy, sweet mixture that reminds me of red lollipops. Not just any lollipops. A very specific kind, but I can't quite recall the name. I think it was something with forest fruit. You can still smell the amber note in the background, but it is by no means as intense as at the beginning. I personally find that a bit disappointing. I like the slightly bitter opening of the fragrance by far the best. The longer the fragrance is on the skin, the more "mass-appealing" but also less spectacular it becomes. I would almost claim that JaAm is probably the most mass-appealing fragrance that Ensar has ever produced. The coconut note caused by the Massoia bark additionally creates a minimal sunscreen vibe. If I hadn't had the notes in front of me, I could have sworn there was also a decent portion of ylang-ylang in it.

But wait a minute... Where is the Oud? Where is Pinoy LTD? To be honest, if I didn't know better, I would almost say that Ensar forgot it. I don't even get a WHIFF of Oud here. Especially not from the special scent of Pinoy LTD. However, I am not surprised by this in hindsight. With 1.2 g in 50 ml, you can almost guess that such a complex Oud won't really come into its own next to all the other very prominent notes like jasmine, frangipani, rose, etc. Why 1.2 g and not 1 g or 1.5 g? I really have no clue. In terms of the valuable Oriscent oil, we are once again facing exactly the same problem as with the previously mentioned Chinese Exclusive. It simply gets lost and only makes itself known in the price. Ensar just knows how to make exclusive fragrances seem EVEN MORE EXCLUSIVE.

All in all, JaAm is a good, very pleasant, and high-quality, naturally smelling fragrance that personally convinces me especially in the opening. In the middle and in the dry down, it becomes a bit too heavy-floral, jasmine-heavy, and sweet for my taste. But that's more of a personal thing and shouldn't be taken as a negative judgment per se. The addition of such valuable Oud, which according to Ensar, is of course "on the house," could really have been spared in my opinion.

That is also the reason for the title of my review. "Twilight Zone." On one hand, I consider JaAm to be a good fragrance; on the other hand, the addition of "Pinoy LTD. Edition" has once again raised expectations too high. So why not just "Jamaican Ambergris"?

Longevity and sillage are absolutely fine for a 100% natural fragrance. You can perceive it well, but it is by no means intrusive or even overpowering; rather, it creates a pleasant scent aura. Absolutely unisex wearable! I also like it on my girlfriend. And she likes it too.
