It is so cloying, so sickly sweet!
I was waiting for this and... I got disappointed the very moment I tested it. Top notes are very good, I immediately loved it, but then, as heart notes get more prominent, you start smelling something aquatic, that kind of note you don't expect in a so called Nero d'Ambra (Ambre Noir or Black Amber)... but is the base notes that really disgusted me. It is so cloying, so sickly sweet, perhaps is the caramel accord, which I don't like at all. It's a sin, I wish I could buy it.
This evening I gave it another chance and tested on my back end... same story. I don't know if precious woods mean Tonka beans... fact it, it reminds me Heaven by Chopard or Wings by Giorgio Beverly Hills, which I have used in the 90th but I can't stand anymore.
