a somewhat more discreet family member on a flying visit
Granted: I love ambergris!
From the golden shade to the deep, almost black anthracite - this fragrance simply fascinates me.
Since I discovered him for myself a few months ago, I've almost fallen for him.
And this, although I'm really more of a flower/flower woman optically.
(Don't worry: I'll stay that way too!)
Now ambergris cannot be worn inconspicuously; all fragrance creations around this magician known to me so far are not exactly unrestrictedly suitable for everyday or business use.
They smoke and hiss and scratch - in short: they come along with a lot of fuss and sometimes even leave deep traces!
"Ambre Noir" seems a little quieter to me; as if this fragrance creature in the large amber family comes along on quieter soles.
Well, as always, I can only talk about my experiences and feelings here.
I admit right at the beginning: a little less musk would be more pleasant for me; but this is an old topic!
For musk doses near vanilla, the ball could be "kept flat" because of me.
But only marginally!
The delicate magnolia and the resinous spice of myrrh get along very well: they feel good.
The bergamot freshness irritates me a little. She seems a little strange to me in this "Menage-à-Trois"; however, she quickly goes her own way again.
Ambergris and Labdanum meet at eye level after combining with the initial seasoning.
Beautifully resinous, a little smoky, now develops "Ambre Noir".
The violet-like floral aroma of the iris root, known as aphrodisiac, becomes an impressive, slightly powdery carrier scent for sandalwood and the sophisticated "goddesses" of the base note.
These appear here with a large cast: Ambras smoky resinous beauty, the warm erotic vanilla and - final and long lasting - musk!
Admittedly: even "Ambre Noir" is not a "little girl's scent"; it already has a certain lure in it, can cause unrest.
But the seductive note is limited here.
Or should I encounter the phenomenon of my "fish blood" here again? Some fragrances do not develop as planned because I lack the necessary body heat.
This could explain the mentioned "suitability for everyday use", which I feel here, and possibly even lead it ad absurdum.
But also the durability stays within limits; "Ambre Noir" is a little bit "weak on the chest".
What has accompanied me for a long time is musk. But I already mentioned that.
"Ambre Noir" is a cleverly composed fragrance: warm, cuddly, appealing and wearable.
For me it has, already by the high musk portion a smaller well-being character, than many of the scent creatures known to me Perhaps the depth, the darkness, is missing here; the devil certainly didn't have "the tail in between" during the development of this resinous beauty. I'm afraid he wasn't even around!
"Ambre Noir" is actually quite well-behaved and may therefore also continue to travel.
