I got hold of the fragrance while browsing the souk with various other fragrances from Globomanni. :)

Pfuh, for a long time no longer so enormously intense, beguiling & at the same time much too intense & long-lasting fragrance smelled more. Never before in the natural fragrance sector, especially since natural perfumes usually smell rather weak and / or short-lived - best example: the sometimes fantastically beautiful, but much too weak-chested Walden fragrances.

That "Ambre Loup" is a natural perfume was something I had completely forgotten during testing, as my sample pack contained a wild mix of synthetic, semi-synthetic & natural fragrances. ;-)

"Ambre Loup" begins with me in a fascinating mono-nature leathery way, I hung on my wrists again and again as if spellbound. In my eyes clearly something so masculine - and yet I really liked him about me!

1.2 hours after my balcony break, when I went back to the (covered = not so windy) balcony, I thought, I won't be anymore: while the scent had slowly developed from mono-leather to leather with heavy, warm, oriental notes, I stepped out of the kitchen into a fragrance time capsule - natural leather, as it says in the beech! o_o

In the 90sqm booth - and also on my wrists - the scent has been hanging for several hours now, on my wrists despite careful washing with an intensively naturally scented liquid soap!

In the beginning, I was fascinated by the components, but then I read them again in disbelief - leather? But that's a bad thing!

What do the others write? Apparently a completely different scent than I'm experiencing right now... suffer. o_o

Unfortunately after a short time my sometimes quite sensitive vegetative nervous system waved more and more vehemently with raised "Use that never again!" finger - first headache, then nerve pain - I have it until now, x hours later ...!

Horrified & frustrated I googled again quickly for the ingredients - at "100% Nature" everything fell out of my face!

I would never have expected such negative effects from a natural perfume a) this intensity and b) such. :-/ In x years of experience with natural fragrances, I have not yet found a single one (let alone a pure one) that so dominantly flattens everything else that circulates in such a way within a radius of felt 100 kilometers.

From roughly estimated "0-150 €" I have tested natural and semi-natural perfumes en masse over the past years. Not a single one that did not also contain oak moss in raw quantities and / or aggressive synthetic substances (some musk loads, lyral, lily, BHT e.g.) caused me problems, such massive problems by far never before.

Also my husband, who is the coarse opposite of me when it comes to fragrances & who at the time felt like he gave himself bucket-wisely "Fleur du Male" (JPG), feels "Ambre Loup" as too intense, too frontal.

Conclusion:
nothing for me & Thanks to Goooott nothing for my husband either. The constellation that he would have liked it would probably have been by far the worst here - an eternal topic with us, unfortunately, since synthetic clubs hang all day long in my home office & add to my body when he wraps himself in a scented puff bell before work in the morning. Only not nearly as massive as "Ambre Loup".

I vehemently denied my husband's suggestion that he could test how the fragrance would develop on him & packed the bottle away well. o_o

For years I was always looking for natural (or at least near-natural) fragrances that appealed to me. What money went on there ... and time for researching - natural fragrances do not grow on trees ...

Then came this fragrance - and ended my natural perfume search in one fell swoop

One could also call me Mrs. Anti-Vanille - until, yes, until the EDPs of Les Senteurs Gourmandes crossed my path. Whether cheap or expensive, synthetic or natural, vanilla is only allowed on my body if it is massively subordinated and integrated, instead of, as is so often the case, wanting to be the focus of attention. And hardly anyone gets that baked that MIR does not clap the vanilla frontally into the fine nose. I don't even have anything against vanilla - the real bourbon vanilla is allowed to crumble into the self-baked one. ;-)

Back to body scent whitewash:
My first highlight was vanilla violette - floral, soft, lulling and, yes, vanilla, but well embedded and by no means dominant. The LSG ouds, on the other hand, which were also ordered as samples, were lost all along the line - when trying them out and from vo to hi when wearing them, they were simply irrelevant, bland.

As far as naturalness is concerned, which is explicitly advertised here, the stupid suspicion creeps up on me that the only natural thing about LSG-EDP is alcohol: 85% of natural origin, an EDP has approx. 10-14% fragrance. Mm, well ... for the rate of less than 30€/100ml I don't expect anything what I know like bulging perfume with natural ingredients cuddled to death by hand, that would be naive, not to say stupid. But I expect more than pure marketing blah, greenwashing, because "all the world" is going to be steep right now.

I ordered the 100ml violet and got several more LSG samples:
- Cafe Tonka (* yawn*)
- Figue Sauvage (luxuriant sweet fig & discreet floral)
- Amande Fleurie (Jil Sanders Sun sends - nice - greetings ;-))
- Vanilla Noire (double split ...)
- Thé Absolue (*Gaeaean*)
- Encre de Vigne (*hust* 0815-oppaduft)
- Figue Sauvage (biting green 'a fig striped)

...and the VANILLE MONOÏ(iiih).

I love the scent of Tiaré, I do! ... not necessarily the widespread Monoï Tiaré oils *urgh*, but Tea Natura, for example, has created a wonderfully minimalist care product in the natural cosmetics sector: simply coconut oil plus Gardenia Tahitensis = Tiaré. Since I fortunately don't need any skin care (and coconut oil for me if it's not the optimum anyway), I don't use it for the oil ...

... the vanilla monoï came just in time, where I'm in a fragrance frenzy again. Duftrausch excludes commercial perfumes (incompatibility of BHT and some synth. fragrance components) - ergo I hide through the big wide world of niche and natural fragrances. A fragrance for my nose does not necessarily have to smell like pure nature - it has to convince me.

If I had been guided by sniffing at the sample, I would have taken vanilla monoï directly to the waste: years ago I got out of the conventional cosmetics market and crawled into my fragrance-sensitive nose a cheap synthetic coconut vanilla sun cream esker 0815 fragrance, which somehow managed to escape from the insignificance of the eternal limited editions of the drugstore summer season into the world of perfumes ...! -_-

Since fragrances go in worn but sometimes very different ways than pure smelled, I sprayed it courageously on - and could have bite my ass: original the same Gemiefe. Ok, wait and see how he develops ... Pustekkuchen. The only development that vanilla monoï has been wearing for several hours is vanillekokosirgendwasblumigem - vanilla pushed itself a little more into the foreground in the course of the hours.

And if I haven't waffled your brains off so far, you may remember: I LOVE synthetic vanilla fragrance beyond all measure. Don't. Don't. -_-

For me, a fragrance doesn't have to lay down anything I know like distinctive change in the course of wearing it - really not. I just need him to promise me, take me with him, lull me in. Otherwise Vanille Violette and Amande Fleurie would not appeal to me, because if LSG has perfected one thing, it would be to create a rather constant fragrance over hours instead of a composition that is gradually developing. Where head, heart and base remain? Well ...

Rosewood? Citric nuances? My beloved jasmine scent? The truck with the artificial vanilla and "something flowery that pops" barrels can't have more of these components than it can have touched while passing by.

Who likes to be wrapped for hours in a cheapy synthetic summer sun sunscreen scent cloud: access.

Everybody else: Hands off, urgent.
