"Black Amber meets Carlos Santana
When I got to know this scent last winter, I had a pagan respect at first: almost no experience with amber and then a name that sounds a bit dangerous at first - "Black Amber"!
A little on tiptoe I approached this bottling; what did I expect?
Certainly not this rich, dark fragrance intensity with surprising "friendliness", as Meggi later wrote me correctly. I owe this experience to him.
Meanwhile we like each other very much: "Black Amber" and me and even a third (maybe even fourth) is in the bunch:
For me, "Black Amber" is the opener for an inner door: "Black Magic Woman" by Carlos Santana sounds pretty fast and stays with me for a few hours to accompany the scent.
A fragrance that delivers a catchy tune - how crazy is that?
In the middle of August this guitar god Carlos Santana gave an open air concert in the city.
Not in the unfriendly, always somewhat damp Waldbühne: no, the more intimate backdrop of the open-air stage at the Zitadelle Spandau was chosen!
A suitable ambience for a two-hour concert, which not only made the hearts of the Santana fans beat faster: a true summer night orgy in tones took place there!
The 71-year-old let vibrate the already warm night full of sound and eroticism!
"Black Magic Woman", no: "Black Amber" combines unusual fragrances to a successful creation.
A bit feminine - a bit masculine: this fragrance is both!
Just by Davana alone, this Artemisia plant, with its fruity light-woody aroma.
This golden-orange oil is used in aromatherapy mainly against women's complaints.
In addition, it has an emotional balancing effect and, in combination with other oils, helps to increase concentration and inner peace.
Davana is also frequently used for perfumes: this interesting fragrance has its first appearance here.
Together with the slightly scratchy resinous spice of Labdanum and slightly musty red algae, it paves the way for the rich scent of blackthorn blossom.
Also called blackthorn, this spring bloomer not only delights with its white, fragrant flowers; these also contain an aromatic nectar with a slight plum sweetness - it is just a plant of the Prunus family.
Spicy, not yet very scratchy incense closes here a very special fragrance circle: "Black Amber" is nothing for sensitive noses - it challenges!
This incense hits later also on a much more powerful relative.
Before that, the oriental, slightly earthy scent of Nagarmotha develops.
This is often compared to that of the precious eagle wood (oud wood): musty, heavy, earthy, spicy and balsamic.
I remember reading that it was precisely this fragrance that was said to have the reputation that a man smelling of it could conquer any woman. (Let's just leave it uncommented!)
Well, this opens up a sensual, full fragrance composition, which also includes the spicy sweetness of the tobacco blossom.
Vetiver, with its earthy note, also fits perfectly with the development of fragrance, allying itself with Nagarmotha. Both are a little related in fragrance.
The spice of the cedar wood shares the final applause with heavy dark incense: "Black Amber" is a revelation until here alone!
But that's really just the prelude: black amber sets fragrance accents that are second to none.
Full of spices and yet somehow luminous, scent atoms fly through the atmosphere here. It fits perfectly to the golden shimmering patchouli, before Styrax with the light vanilla touch, then the true vanilla let its erotic intensity and warmth flow into this mixture.
This is really great cinema for the senses!
The fact that sandalwood rounds off this strongly scented work of art this time is cleverly arranged: sandalwood is rarely the keystone in the architecture of a scent - it holds this "building" together perfectly!
"Black Amber" fascinates; it fascinates by ingeniously combined components, which were united to a harmonious extravagant and also enormous smell.
The course of the fragrance makes me pause again and again, although the curiosity for the next surprise actually pushes me forward.
It's an exciting story told by "Black Amber" and I'm sure I'll hear it more often and hopefully understand it better every time.
This spicy, resinous smoke is very affectionate and becomes brighter and friendlier towards the end.
The masculine scent is cleverly combined with the feminine, creating a work of art that appeals to both men and women.
In women even the feminine sensuality still strongly underlines.
"Black Amber" is interesting, seductive and very sexy!
A fragrance that invites you to "Samba Pa Ti"! (To stay with Carlos Santana.)
We will then experience what develops from this ...
Because this fragrance is a bit like flying through the universe: it knows no boundaries!
