Fête d'Ambre Tempus Vitae 2022

Grand, powerful opening that is not too much for anyone who loves bold, classic fragrances. The initial blast calms down very quickly and what remains is a very smooth and well-blended combination of the notes. After a few minutes, I find myself wanting to sniff it more and more. Reading the notes, I thought this might be a simple take on single malt by Killian, but this fragrance stands on its own with the resinous and woody facets taking the main stage while the background notes make this a very exemplary fragrance. The fragrance remains classy in its performance as well; nothing about this will be too harsh or bombastic, but it remains present and inviting for hours.
