Les Absolus d'Annick Goutal - Ambre Sauvage

.
With the memory of a new year.

.
On the sunlit slope, there is a buzzing and a hidden crackling beneath the brown, dry grasses in the dense, sporadic, moist-animal earth. In the weave of the newly beginning time.

Gone is the winter; the new year already brings some scent fragments, and bright, strong wood, dried, lies on the warm heath. The bees buzz around their baskets, which are surrounded by a delicate scent of incense and a fragrance like dark pink pepper. Amber-colored straw flutters wildly in the rising wind. And spring stands in full splendor.

Clouds of scent from flower beds drift over roses and irises, over moist green grass, hidden violets, and lush green moss. Colorful butterflies flit and flutter in the air from flower to flower, from bush to bush, and up to the heights of the trees. Lavender lies across the wide expanse, indulging in patchouli and a pinch of incense, shimmering nobly, delicately fresh, and warm in the most beautiful summer. Balsam for the soul.

In the clear landscape of autumn, we gather the scent drops of styrax, treat ourselves to robust vanilla and another pinch of incense and rich, hypnotic amber. The October smoke of the empty, harvested fields already makes us dream of the cozy fireplace fires of the coming winter.

The elements, dusted with patchouli, have merged into an incredibly rounded and dominating whole. Wonderfully balanced, woody, warm, with a delicate, caressing smoke and fragrant resin.

A fragrance for the contemplative time behind snow-covered windows. And for cuddly hours. Always. Sauvage.

With the memory of a new year.

What a wonderful description. I can hear the bees buzzing and smell the red pepper. Add a hint of incense, and you've captured me. Another candidate to test!

I really like Goutal fragrances across the board, but this one has slipped past me so far. It seems to capture the essence of the whole year in the bottle - a feat that not every perfumer can achieve.

The brand has some great scents (the first Vétiver, Sables), but I don't know this one.

This seems to be another particularly lovely scent from this line. Aren't you getting a bit tired of amber? That's how I felt about vanilla: at first, it was one of my favorite notes. While searching for the best vanilla, I got a bit overwhelmed.

Very nice. Even though we want to enjoy spring for now. And finally a Goutal that lasts longer than just from 11 to noon ;-)

I couldn't really remember testing this one, but it seems I did. Maybe I was too quick or I'm just not as big a fan of amber as you are. Anyway, it clearly wasn't my thing, but I do appreciate the brand overall.

That sounds beautiful. Definitely need to check it out in the fall. Christmas will be here sooner than you think.
