Very helpful Review 5
An elegant smooth oriental
[short review]
Amber and Oud is a combo hard to resist for me. In my opinion as well, Baldessarini is an underrated designer, producing fragrances that smell more expensive than their actual price.
After trying the Ambré fragrance, that I liked very much, I targeted Ambré Oud as easily deserving a blind buy and I am glad I did it. It may be considered a flanker to the original as a similar amber trail is present in its DNA. However, and besides the introduction of mild oud, the apple note is a lot less noted and there is a new boozy opening accord.
This very well blended Ambré Oud also offers you some patchouli, leather and incense hints, making it a perfume to wear several times in the winter weeks to come. The light touch of whiskey in the opening gives this perfume a nice touch and makes it a bit more unique.
Performance is average, and the projection is not really strong. I was expecting a bit more sillage but I may consider it fair due to the smoothness of the oud ingredients used.
I do pick some small similarities with Interlude Man by Amouage and Amber Oud by Trussardi and both those perfumes are highly regarded. I invite you to take your own conclusions as well.
