Evening your (probably) good smelling perfumes!
I would have made a statement, but the last comment was a long time ago and I'm freshly dieselled, so I'm going to hit the virtual keys.
Ambre Noir starts out quite fresh and spicy, especially slightly peppery, but you could say very cardamon-heavy. The top note, without having the comparison on the back of my hand, reminds me strongly of la nuit de l'homme edt. I really like it and was a bit irritated that it starts so fresh. The bergamot hides itself shyly behind the somewhat synthetic apple note, but if you don't concentrate on it, you forget both.
You could talk about the Drydown, but the smell doesn't really have that. It really remains very linear for 6 hours and somehow a bit different than usual. You can smell the heart note after the top note or better take it in the order it was, but that's still very long
I become aware of the scent, smell cardamom with orange blossom and that sweet peppery note and right after that Patch Ambre comes around the corner and snuggles up to you.
Only after these 6 hours do all the notes blur and drift off into a slightly plush sweetness, which is probably due to the vanilla that lasts longer than all the other notes, but don't worry, vanilla is hardly worth mentioning
The performance is beyond any doubt for 15 Euro and he is always perceptible one arm's length out.
Compared to the la nuit de l'homme edp, however, it is not so heavy and sweet and sticky that the Ambre Noir can only be worn in winter.
It virtually combines both versions for me in an even more universal version and the perfect fragrance for spring or autumn.

First of all, the Bottega Veneta is my girlfriend's favorite scent and the one I like to smell the most on her
Fattan pour femme has nothing at all in common with the Bottega. Just because they share a few nuances on the slip of paper doesn't mean they are fragrance twins.
I don't know who can smell any resemblance, but where the Bottega gets really super spicy, woody, leathery and sweet in drydown, the Fattan can only come up with sweet floral notes and gets a little thicker towards the back and a touch of something darker like musk or sandalwood is noticeable. Since I'm not an expert I can't say that exactly
The Drydown also reminds me a little bit of candied apple and something buried.
The smell is really very sweet and rather something for the cooler days up to a maximum of 20 degrees.

Fattan pour femme can score with a very good silage and durability.
As a blindbuy, it's definitely okay for so little money, but I would advise against expecting a Bottega Dupe.

Since there is hardly any reading material about the perfume, I take the trouble to write a comment, even if it is not worth it.
With 15€ you can do a lot, even buy perfumes, I also have 3 or 4 that don't have to hide behind the big ones.
Nobody expects Niche, especially persistent seducers of women anyway not and how the bottle looks like no sow is interested in the money.
Armaf makes it very interesting here anyway and in fact I fell into the trap like a fly.
The name, the bottle, the amount and damn it, 15€ for a 90ml perfume?
So I unpack the box and spy a velvety top hat with imitation leather patch, all black and really heavy, my dear Scholli. That's what Amouage does and you feel a little bit horny
Actually more appearance than its, but the 15€ are hopefully not packaging material, but the perfume
Inside there was the amazingly big bottle (of course where should the 90ml be) which looked a bit cuter on the pictures, no matter, 15€...
With something tasty the thick one pulled out of the ground and seen in the daylight, not so pretty at all. The color gradient looks cheaply made, the patch is not in the middle and the color is a bit strange. The primeval yellow water in the white bottle with black nude accents (spray head 'also black) looks very inconsistent, but hey, more of the 15€ for the fragrance. The design is not bad, you just shouldn't look too closely.
Take off the heavy lid, massive, even if made of plastic, it smells slightly citric, give it to me at last!
Well
Okay, it's not a total loss, but it's not good either. It doesn't have that toilet screen like my Montblanc Explorer or Club de Nuit. It comes close to grapefruit, although I would rather use the blood orange here, that would probably be due to the mandarin. Smells more like a good detergent though, sorry.
I don't give up, because if there is one thing I have learned since I started this hobby, love at first sight is rarely the case with hellebore scents and when it is, it is violent.
The process is good with the washing-up liquid and I mean the vetiver and very weak cardamom ensure that the slightly dryer and spicier comes along, but it does not smell high-quality.
Sandalwood and cedar I unfortunately do not take and how YlangYlang smells?
It remains quite citrically dry even after 4 hours and meanwhile it gets on my nerves, even if I perceive it only close to my hand. Maybe it is also in my nose crosswise, but I don't want to smell it anymore
So what's my conclusion?
You want something like Niche, you should pay Niche. Vetiver and fruit makes the Club de Nuit 1000% better and is only slightly more expensive!
Unfortunately, Armaf disappointed me today with a total of 3 fragrances and most of the blame goes to the idiot who ordered them, i.e. me

because I have learned from my mistakes
Unfortunately, it wouldn't have been enough for a statement.
I also have to admit that I am a little ashamed to surprise my girlfriend with this
Armaf was only known to me through Club de Nuit and they did a really good job for the few bucks.
So I ordered a perfume for me (Armaf Niche white diamond) and without asking my better half, she ordered 2 of the brand Armaf. (Armaf Elite Woman was the second and doesn't even show up here, which doesn't surprise me, because grain brandy with a subtle flower aroma is not rated here, but perfume's)
So much in advance and everyone who has read up to here saves you the money, even if it is really not much, all 3 are not worth it.
Step by step.
Shortly after delivery, the carton smelled strongly of perfume, although it was sealed and later it explains why. In any case, shortly after opening the just for you it was clear which of the 3 fragrances already had its "best" on the outside.
Where the carton still looks quite nice and the packaging was not objectionable, this did not apply to the flacon.
Totally smeared and oily, it was dripping out of the plastic cap and we were already approaching the pungent smell.
I understand how you probably noticed, nothing about women's perfume, but SO should not smell something.
Disgusting alcoholic rose aspen, an orange peak on the highest fermentation level. This is the smell of Valensina when you take it out of the blazing sun after 2 weeks, after the bottle was already open.
Her colleagues and I were a little disgusted and my girlfriend, also brave as she was, put the "booze" on her delicate wrist, only to immediately remove it again with disinfectant.
I am often in active exchange with my colleagues, because they share their passion for fragrances with me, but you have never experienced anything so penetrating
Vanilla, patchouli and musk? No way. Br />
In fact, Frau'chen's collection contains a fragrance that is amazingly similar to the one here.
Girls can do anything from Zadig & Voltaire. I admit, the top note of the fragrance is crap, but what makes it different is that it gets very round after half an hour, you can smell some musk and a dash of vanilla.
Sure, costs 3 times as much or more, but the Armaf just for you just stays here the drunk car windshield wiper water.
The icing on the cake was then the closure. If you put it on the bottle, it triggers the spray and the plörre runs out.
Basically, perfume karma punishes me for wanting to be a money saver. Unfortunately, my thought was "Blindbuy, if you don't like it, at least you weren't expensive".
I'm a bad friend, she doesn't deserve that smell!

...waaaaas?
Yes! Yes, damn it and there's no buts
Yeah, he's cute. Yeah, he's heavy. Yeah, the sandalwood is definitely heavy at the base. Still, it's the perfect summer scent,... as soon as dusk dips the day into the bottle colours, because the association is not even far-fetched.
Bathed in the sun all day long, the skin nicely tanned, but not red, because you take care of your organs.
You have struggled a few times with the sun cream, including the sand on your skin, you smell creamy and like coconut, nobody gets it on their nose, because everybody is happy, because they are on holiday on the Canary Islands.
After a day on the beach, you get out of the shower, the drying of the tensed skin was not nice, but the good After Sun of Hawaiian Tropic can help you and you still think about what you want to eat while you are still going out, in one of the many bars and restaurants de la playa.
It doesn't matter, on holiday you don't worry and let it come to you. There's just one thing you don't leave to chance. Your perfume
You need something that can withstand the smell of the food, a perfume that won't let the sea breeze evaporate immediately and certainly not something peppery and spicy on your neck, because for all your love of sweaty sunbathing, you can finally let your girl get to you. Romantically listening to the waves on the beach, leaning them against you and burying your bare feet in the exceptionally cool sand, you are the center of your life at this moment.
This fragrance is bursting with emotion. It is very linear after the intense cardamom top note, which somehow seems totally creamy and coconut-heavy, until the sandalwood joins in.
I'd say he doesn't go out on rainy days or at work. Most people, like me, define summer as hot days, warm nights and, if possible, holidays. I would say that every woman who can smell cardamom well doesn't want to dig herself out of your shirt when you take her out in the evening

You could still discuss the durability, but with this fragrance it is better if it disappears after 6 hours.
Nevertheless, my summer holiday scent and because we will probably not be able to fly to Fuerteventura this year, the more important to remember such beautiful memories. The fragrance also manages to do this with my girlfriend every time without me telling her
I pull out my sunglasses before you la Nuit!
