My Amber Number 12

Hermès - Ambre des Merveilles

A round thing!

A pyramid fragrance with only one layer. Without height? No depth? With the ingredients we've been given:

Amber: for the animalistic, also against restlessness or sadness,
Labdanum: for warmth and sensuality, woody, flowery, balsamic,
Patchouli: aphorising, moist, against stress, anger or rage,
Vanilla: mood-lifting, potency enhancing, erotic,

So this is the way. A round thing. Everything is contained within us to create a great feeling of happiness. We begin flowery and briefly excited, slightly caramel riot. The band-aid of animalism can be quickly removed. Light browned sand crumbles and sour sweet hope falls to late summer. It tempers light brown tenderly and allows itself hours of even dry boredom. In the mood for perfume? At the whim of man? According to temperature, outside or inside? 2 to 6 hours. Now almost everything has been said already.

Everything is nobly modest, nobly restrained, nobly humble and nobly united. And at a fragrance with 8.5 points - in the closest proximity also 9.0 - arrived.

The bottle has glitter, but the second half is missing. And it goes very well with the perfume.

Just a semicircular thing?.

Swing and float = scented pleasure!

Even as a child, I loved to swing; I could hardly walk past a swing: much to my mum's worry.
She was afraid that in my enthusiasm I would fall off and hurt myself; which fortunately never happened!
It was a feeling like flying: the short little skirt fluttered and I kept regretting that she insisted on having my hair cut short - how I would have loved to have experienced a white-blond splendour in the "airstream". Child's dreams!
Later, and (quite honestly!) even today, there are always occasions when I stop longingly at the swings in playgrounds and - especially on balmy summer nights - can't resist.
The summer skirts still flutter and the hair, now longer but still blond, often comes loose from the knot: the feeling of childlike simple joy and freedom has remained!

This feeling of weightlessness also gives me "L'Ambre des Merveilles"; it's as if I'm swimming on a wave of fragrance, entering it and happily emerging again!
Into the creamy white whipped foam of vanilla; warm and enticing, it nestles against my skin. The goddess of love Venus personally hands me the sponge!
Quietly picked up momentum again, to be able to properly enjoy the gold stream of amber, which is generously distributed over it: what sensual immersion in a luxurious world - please, please more of it!
My wishes come true: I get more, much more!
Patchouli, my beloved golden-brown fragrance gemstone, adds eroticizing accents: "L'Ambre des Merveilles" glows from within.
So that this dream in vanilla creamy white, Ambergold and patchouli golden brown does not remain just foam, this fragrance spirit was given a slightly spicy-resinous framework of labdanum: exactly what was missing!
The icing on the "I" is hereby found; "L'Ambre des Merveilles" closes to a creamy soft round dance that tantalizes me.

I feel like I'm in scented heaven, surrounded by lots of golden-white creamy dots!

It's a like floating; the normal swaying would diminish the pleasure: you should take your time for this fragrance goddess. Hermès delivers it; a fragrance bath: a perceived eternity long!
Only slowly burst the fine, still fragrant bubbles; what remains is a feeling of warmth and tenderness.
"L'Ambre des Merveilles" resembles the voluptuous immersion in a caressing, rich wave of fragrance:
"Born of foam" is an excellent fit here!

My gladly seen companion

Wow, what a powdery soft oriental, or the modern classic fragrance - in any case, simply incredibly beautiful. It can almost be described as quiet, not as confused with the many completely overloaded ingredients as many others. It is a perfume for the lady with the most exquisite taste, finely and nobly matched to the lady with the exquisite taste. Very close to the body with no firecracker amber but with a light, softly whispering amber with subtle vanilla underneath. Also this not really sweet but rather aromatic. Patchuli joins them as the third special guest. It is beautifully composed, I think it fits always and everywhere, is a very welcome companion. I like this really noble kind of the here discreet perfume. This is a caress, the clothes where this fragrance has lived in it one would like to press gently on himself so finely the memories float around me ....
For me a very nice scent with a high recognition,,it is Hermes.
I was directly in love and I always have a bottle at home

Very helpful Review 17

Autumn joy

Now autumn has finally arrived and it's time again for my warmer fragrances.... finally ?

Today he finally made his appearance again.

One can take here quiet 5-6 sprays well distributed, he is not a monster.
He is like a warm and golden embrace, he gives me through his amber and vanilla a pleasant, cozy, in the autumn very well fitting, aura. He stays close to me and never annoys.

He is just wonderful ambriet, slightly vanilla, finely spiced and subtly sweet.

He fits wonderfully to the autumn and thereby to every circumstance, whether at work, to a meal, meeting with friends or simply a cozy day

I love you, why didn't you stay

The smell is a dream. Warm Amber, just great. Here comes the big one. With me he only holds a little ten!!! Minutes. The shelf life of others seems to be pretty good. Why don't I smell anything after a few minutes? I thought maybe I'd go blind to that smell quickly. I put my wrist under my friend's nose, he doesn't smell anything either. Perfumes generally don't hold up very well for me, but I've never experienced anything like it before. That's a pity...
