Lovely amber
My first thought upon trying this product: Amber Paste is a very thick, sticky, viscous oil that is easily over-applied. If you're looking for a standard roll-on oil that spreads easily, this is not your product. The upside is that it has very nice longevity and a small amount is all that is required for several hours of scent.
My second thought: Amber Paste is surprisingly reminiscent of Tom Ford's Amber Absolute! If one was lemming after TF AA, but couldn't bring themselves to pay the price ($220 USD for 50 ml), Amber Paste is a very nice, inexpensive ($10 USD) way to get a very similar scent. They aren't 100% dupes of each other, of course, with Amber Paste being slightly more resinous and without Amber Absolute's powerhouse sillage. I would argue, though, that Amber Paste's sillage is quite satisfactory and more than enough to be noticeable without the risk of overwhelming surrounding admirers.
I think Amber Paste a must-have for any major fan of amber-based scents, and would be ideal for layering.
