It might be nonsense, but I'm often testing this and comparing it to the beloved Atlantic Ambergris II.
I'm sure AK can't replace ALD, but for Atlantic lovers, good news for me, the vibes can be there.
Atlantic is spicy, ethereal, deep and red. Mineral parts combined with resins make it a masterpiece of modern perfumery.
Amber kiso is darker, dirty and leathery but with an amber in the background worthy of being smelled.
Can I tell you they look alike? no, but that have similar vibrations yes.
Enjoy

Timeless
The perfume Racquets evokes a sense of tranquility.
It reminds me of something from the past, although I'm not sure exactly what.
Early days of spring, towards evening, with the warm air.
At times, there's also a scent of cleanliness, as if there's a carpet covering an old parquet floor.
This is a beautiful composition from the well-known English brand.
A fragrance that leans towards the chypre genre, green, citrusy, and powdery, while still maintaining a certain softness and creaminess.
It opens with citrus and green notes, immediately giving an idea of where it's heading.
Lavender, ylang ylang, and some spices smooth it out, making it fresh but at the same time floral.
After a few hours, the fragrance still maintains this green and fresh impression but with a powdery undertone.
Very elegant and in my opinion, perfect for a spring day.

Sheldrake: I love u
This is a fucking masterpiece. I haven't had such a beautiful and complex perfume in my collection yet (I have many).
This is fruity at the right point, a little animalistic, green, earthy and leathery.
One of the most beautiful releases in this 2023.
Beautiful packaging, perfume and storytelling.
Very raccomended

Simply excellent
The great gift of knowing how to make perfumes well is knowing how to make them appreciate even those who are not lovers of certain raw materials. Creed knows it.
I appreciate vetiver, but too "simple" is not much. Here I can appreciate the simplicity and coherence of this brand.
Cleanliness, order and elegance first of all. Now I would know how to recognize him anywhere

Dark Aventus
Um, I'm not 100% sure, but I think this has nothing more than the first Aventus. The opening is definitely darker, smoky and sweetish.
I think the heart and the drydown are quite similar, but they veer towards a "shape" more similar to Roja's Apex genre, even though they are not similar.
So overall it's a good perfume, which definitely resonates because of the brand and the name it bears, let alone the criticism and adulation.
Maybe it's a little overpriced, but on this brand, the average target is not the one who buys perfumes for up to €100. So there it is
