Tuberose and cinnamon cosmic dance
Outstanding masterpiece!!! Bisch never disappoints, so I didn't expect to be surprised ... but lord, this is ahead of the "whose-tuberose-is-the-best" race! Sensual yet strong, the cinnamon is the magical compound that harnesses the wild nature of the tuberose! All other notes are bowing down to this magnetic couple!
Why "astrale"? The story originates from Thibaud Crivelli experiencing the scent of tuberose under the Milky Way.
However, my perception revolves around the astrological fate to whether one can be unexplainably attracted or repelled by certain people or objects. Cinnamon is the sprinkle of childhood for me and tuberose is the forbidden magic not immediately divulged in such an innocently looking flower.
Apart of the magical stuff - longevity, projection, sillage - 100/10 !!!

Exceptional !!!
Incredible fragrance and quite unusual! Doesn't really remind me of anything I've ever tried. Blended to perfection, sometimes it brings out aquatic notes, but the dry down is exceptionally sweet, classy and there the jasmine and cypress are truly noticeable but still exceptionally well mixed.
There's a dept to discover in this fragrance! The perfect long-lasting but not too loud unisex summer fave!

Leonella - an unfinished love story
Beautiful fragrance evoking feelings of an endless summer unfolding slowly under the sun in Havana!
The spectacular streets with dancing people all along (re: Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights) and the shy love story of Leonella and Hemingway in a scene looping in forgotten times and centuries.
A very long-lasting scent dedicated to the artistic dreamers for slow and silent summer afternoons that can unexpectedly twist into remarkable evenings.

Most elegant tobacco to date!
Absolutely amazing! Straight up the most favourite from the Absolus Allegoria line!
Nothing groundbreaking, it is just Guerlain perfection in a bottle. There is some aromatic dryness from the tobacco mixed with deep, sensual cinnamon (not spicy) with prominent patchouli (another fav) and amber. Almond and benzoin cannot be detected immediately but probably the bitter sweetness comes from them.
I've never tried Tobacco Honey but I guess the resemblance is due to the same perfumer and yet - Ambre Samar is very refined and beautifully blended that if you blind test it, I'm sure you'd range it among Guerlain's Art et Matière line.
Similarity to TF Tobacco Vanille is somewhere in the dry down but nothing comparable, I would choose Ambre Samar if I had to. It is unisex, leaning feminine and IMO could be layered with sweet and gourmand fragrances to give them some extra sophisticated and elegant vibe.
