On a treasure hunt
The search for the protagonist of the perfume Ambre Tabac by Daniel Josier does not lead us directly to the eponymous fragrance notes of amber and tobacco but first to the incense, which determines the direction of the fragrance from the beginning. It does so with an intense, spicy aroma that leaves little doubt about its current dominance. From the outset, however, this incense is also like a soft, warm and protective cloak that immediately reminds me of the aromatic scent of the Christmas Raachermanneln in front of the fireplace at home. It never resembles the sacral smell of cold church rooms or that of smoke or acrid smoke. This results not least from the sidelined, not independently noticeable fruity-fresh bergamot, which blossoms perfectly in the incense and takes him the dark peaks.

While with other perfumes often their scents in the memory emotions and experiences inspire, it concerns with Ambre Tabac with me rather its Vepackung with content. As children and teenagers we enjoyed unrestricted freedom in playing and roaming around in the countryside, in the adjacent, destroyed and at that time already overgrown air base, the many small woods, gravel pits, ponds and openly accessible garbage dumps. A paradise for explorers, adventurers and treasure hunters. Many times we found our little treasures in the form of cartridge cases, signs, watches, porcelain, tools, spray bottles, cigarette albums, books, photos, flasks, cutlery and much more. Only the "big one" was missing, but we knew exactly how it should look like, inconspicuous on the outside and shining golden on the inside! Our greatest treasure, but we did not know it at the time, was our freedom and light-heartedness to do all this without supervision, without helmets and without control calls!
These times and incidents move my thoughts as I unpacked the perfume Ambre Tabac by Daniel Josier. The dark box of solid cardboard, solid and with some pale gold decorations, makes a rather modest, simple impression! All the brighter a sparkling sun shines, no dazzles the viewer after opening the box. The thick glass bottle fills the box almost completely and glitters together with the huge Golden Nugget lid around the bet, while the bright glow of the golden yellow liquid drives away the last suspicion, it is not a significant treasure!

After the incense has set itself intensely, brightly and with a sweetish freshness well in scene, it is also immediately flanked by tobacco and amber impressively. Although these title fragrance notes should only appear as a base chord, they mix very early in the fragrance of Ambre Tabac with, whereby their tobacco facets come with time more and more to bear, woody, spicy and marzipanig-sweet. In addition, there are very warm, velvety and also earthy aspects, but all perfectly merge in this complex, highly aromatic overall composition. Also a mentioned vanilla note certainly contributes its sweet-spicy aroma without being overt itself. The supporting pillars of incense and the tobacco becoming drier, powderier and more tart towards the back remain until the end.

Ambre Tabac was created with very good Haltbakeit (good 10 hours) and decent sillage as an eau de parfum for men. The very bulky, masculine flacon points directly to it. Daniel Josier as the responsible perfumer designed here certainly his masterpiece. Early in life he was interested in perfumery and after training and studies he quickly received direct employment at various companies and / or worked with many for many years, including Symrise, UniLever, LVMH, Iberchem and Puig L'Oreal. In 2009, he founded his own collection of niche luxury fragrances, L'Atelier del Perfume. In doing so, he likes to draw on the classic-traditional inspirations of his native Spain and its fantastic landscapes, coasts and cities.

Many thanks for the reading companionship!

New Love


Long time no dared, now it's time :-)
My first comment on this great platform. Because this wonderful perfume is worth it !!!
First of all I have to say that I am not the greatest olfactory analyst who smells every single ingredient and takes it apart down to the smallest detail and can assign it to each individual phase of the olfactory process :D Apart from that, I can't see a great process in ambre Tabac, because it is more linear (but more on that in a moment)
I'm just a guy who loves perfume and recently started to do some great things
To collect scented water. So here we go .

To the ambre Tabac I came like the virgin to the child :-( I wanted to buy the Oud Noir intense for a good buddy for his birthday, then I got a call from a nice service employee of an online shop, that the delivery is delayed for several weeks (are probably very unreliable the French) :-( I thought, what are you going to do now? There came the friendly tip of the employee that he can recommend the Ambre Tabac of Daniel Josier very much, because this also goes in this direction. I must confess that I have never heard of this Daniel Josier. Out of frustration and some desperation I ordered it then, two times (once for me with of course :D ). I was very very excited and was not disappointed, on the contrary! When I opened the package, a very beautiful packaging appeared with a massive, noble bottle. Make it look good, now only the content has to be right. And I tell you, it's true! I was really flashed what a (unobtrusive) power came out of the great atomizer. At first he reminded me of Oajan, but after about 10 minutes he went in a slightly different direction. I smell beautiful balsamic tobacco (most likely pipe tobacco), incense, ambergris and not too sweet vanilla. Simply a dream of this perfume. It smells qualitatively so incomprehensibly good, no synthetic is to be smelled! Created for rainy and cool days as soul balm.
On the same day I caught myself running past my perfume cabinet six or seven times by chance to smell the atomizer! The next day he was immediately applied at 5:15 am to work with 4 sprays and even in the late evening I noticed him clearly, but not obtrusively intrusive. This, in my opinion, is he at no time . Durability is Beastmode, Sillage depending upon dosage also violently! He also paid me three compliments at work, this as a small side note ;)

Ambre Tabac is simply a wonderful, warm/sweet, even if not a super complex perfume :-) but it gives me a lot of pleasure and perfume should do that! Price/performance is also good with almost 75€/50 ml

For me personally he will replace Oud Wood as my signature, my new love !

Thanks for reading :-)

Une peche Melba et un paquet de Craven A, s'il vous plait!
Oops, 90 reviews and no comment yet? If I hadn't expected that. All right, I'll have to go first. A reference comment will not, but perhaps at least an icebreaker for better ones who follow:

The one of the two fragrances that our candidate has in his name, Amber, I can't feel as a single note, except for a very slight, typical ambry tingling (which occurs already at the beginning). Neither, to graces, keep the frankincense, though it is printed bold, and though I quite appreciate frankincense.

It seems to me to be one of those fragrances whose backbone consists of this specific dual of fresh, still moist, light Virginia tobacco and juicy fruit notes, which seems to be in fashion at the moment (perhaps this has something to do with new chemical developments). In "Veleno Dore", where I was allowed to smell this completely new consonance for the first time (this was a very nice experience), I perceived the tobacco scent surrounded by deep dark red, rich sour cherry notes; here, on the other hand, as a companion to the tobacco, I encounter a lighter, bright orange-golden melange that I would dare to describe with mandarin peach apricot (or rather a sweet plum). In the fragrance pyramid there's nothing to read about it, so I take that on my cap as my purely subjective and perhaps not analytically underpinnable impression.

Ambre Tabac is a friendly and cheerful fragrance; warm and bright, without being sultry or garish; quite strong, but not heavy; gently spicy, of moderate sweetness - more reminiscent of almonds and marzipan than vanilla, but no pronounced gourmand fragrance. A certain artificiality is added, but not unpleasant. That's less plastic, no, not at all, that's perhaps more the rubberized back of an old-style stamp (they could be quite delicious).

In the further course (which lasts a good 12 hours) the fruity sweetness loses itself and the spiciness remains: Ambre Tabac becomes drier, harsher, more serious. It remains a really beautiful, simple, matt polished foundation. If there's vanilla in the base, it's not sweet.

In my baggage scheme (and in my cupboard) there is currently no place for this fragrance, but I can recommend it without reservation to test it with a clear conscience.

The Last Odyssey
My name is Lucius Weasley III, called Eight. And I suffer greatly from the incompetence of the commander of NGC 891, Bob Frugge, called BLOB, at least by me. He doesn't know why I'm called Eight and it drives him crazy, which is why I don't tell him, of course. Just so you know, prolonged exposure to lower gravity and radiation can cause slight changes in genetic makeup, such as affecting the number of toes.

The other day the fat little cretin nearly sent us flying into an asteroid, just because he was on his power trip again. Of course I had to save us, of course. I could forgive him a lot of things, that he is character-wise unsuitable for the job, an intellectual zero and also that he almost doesn't fit through the doors. But not his perfume. Always overdosed to the max, sweet incense ad nauseam. That just goes too far in a closed system like a spaceship, despite air treatment!

Anyway, that was the moment a plan took shape. The solution to the BLOB problem is the other hate figure on board, ElVI. Of course, you can't convince an artificial intelligence of your plans, but you can reprogram it. So down to the computational core and fresh to work. I don't know much about computers, but it can't be that hard.

First of all, get access to memory bank AE35... not that hard.
> Good morning, Lucius.
Huh, why English? Well, it doesn't matter, it can happen, we all know that much English. Let's go on.. > I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.
Yeah sure, once BLOB can't give commands anymore, you'll be a great help. Oops, something splashed, but seems ok.
> Look Lucius, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.
Hmm, that might even be a good idea, but I'm so close...

I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Lucius. Lucius, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid.
Oh well, an AI has no fear and no sense of smell either, which is sometimes an advantage. Because it smells suspiciously like Christmas cookies - almonds, vanilla and marzipan. And some sandalwood, but that could also be from the laminate here. But the rest is clear: BLOB! It comes...
> I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do
The scent is getting closer, getting penetratingly sweet. I can already hear BLOB puffing with his sugar water breath. Just one more short line of programming, and I'm done.
"What are you doing Eight? Stop that, that's an order!"
Well, it figures, him again, corrupted to the core by his supposed power. Short, fat people are prone to this sort of thing, I once read. Just press ENTER...
> This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
I hear a hiss of escaping air. A sudden breeze blows away the sweet smell of BLOB, but that's the only positive thing about an airlock opening in space.
"Um, ElVI, could you please close the airlock again? Be really nice!"

"I'm sorry, Lucius. I'm afraid I can't do that.
The breeze becomes a hurricane, sweeping everything with it. BLOB is still stuck in the bulkhead, but surely not for long.
"I always do everything you say too, just close the door!"
> I'm afraid I can't do that, Lucius.
> ...
> Cabin pressure: zero.
> No life forms detected.
> Closing bay door.

...

--------------------

To say one thing up front, the Ambre Tabac is not a bad scent. It just arrives in my nose so sweet that it just doesn't want to give me any real pleasure.
He starts already very sweet and reminds me from the beginning of pastries. There also changes the short appearance of the bergamot nothing. The incense is quite nice and the sandalwood is also fine, slightly creamy, a good preparation for the vanilla tobacco. I also smell something slightly fruity here, but can't put my finger on it. It reminds me quite strongly of Christmas cookies, which is quite a nice association. At the end, some amber is added, making the scent a bit warmer, but not bringing any additional sweetness. That would be me at this point but also already care.
Sweet fragrances are always a tightrope walk with me, sometimes they come across extremely as here, but sometimes more subtle, like the Miel d'Arabie. Who can handle sweetness in fragrances better and even like them, which gets with Ambre Tabac a beautiful fragrance, with very good durability and silage.
On the NGC 891 would be anyhow a job free, computer knowledge desired, applications please by PN.

Thanks to the Schalkerin!

Christmas market - we are coming!
This great fragrance I have tested together with a very good friend & our first thoughts, which we expressed directly were the following: "mhh delicious, oh that's good, spices, Christmas, we run through the Christmas market"

And that's exactly how it was. We both agreed that this fragrance falls into the shortlist. My girlfriend said to me, she sees us strolling through the Christmas market & since then I get this image no longer out of sight. Whenever I smell the scent, we are at the Christmas market, walking past various stalls where the scent of spices & anise candy comes towards us & drinking warm mulled wine to warm us up. This year we will hopefully make this a reality & you all know what scent I wear with it ;)

The fragrance is declared as a men's fragrance, but do not understand why, because if this is not unisex, then I do not know.

I personally do not perceive the bergamot at the beginning. Me comes directly a mix of spices with lots of cinnamon & anise. Vanilla gives it a great sweetness and incense gives it that extra something. Meanwhile, I like tobacco in fragrances super gladly, without him something would be missing. More than successful & P/L are unbeatable.

A quite sweet opening, fruity-like gourmand with cinnamon and a boozy touch. The drydown is softer with a spicy tobacco, smoky and ambery.

The label says it. Spatially speaking, I dunno who's on top, as tobacco and amber go together a bit like salt and sugar. Good and simple!

I'm very into tobacco&ambery fragrances, but this to me smells like a sweetened (a lot) plum/cherry juice. Nice but I expected a lot more
