Amber in perfumery is a subjective scent, it is a note, not an essence." Mandy Aftel shares her recipe of Amber from her book Essence and Alchemy: A Natural History of Perfume page 97. "Here is a recipe for a very beautiful and simple amber that can be worn alone or used a base for a perfume: 30 drops labdanum, 120 drops benzoin, 6 drops vanilla
I don't really smell amber with this. Instead, it smells like a light, airy, clean white musk with some sort of mineraly aspect in the background. It's a soft scent, but I get whiffs of it all day long. Perfect for lazy days when you just want to feel cozy.
Yes this does smell like fruity shampoo, but honestly I love a good fruity shampoo scent, and for this profile I'd much rather spend Al Haramain kind of money as opposed to Xerjoff. The musk makes it very wearable in my opinion, like freshly washed skin with the fruitiest of body washes. HOWEVER this strong strong strong.

As a true patchouli lover I must say that I needed some time to like Prada Amber. It was the amber that crushed me. All I could smell was amber. Thick, creamy amber. It reminded me of the hippie amber perfume oil and amber perfume cream from a small tin can. My first boyfriend wore it and I couldn't get enough of the seductive smell.

Definitely worth a try for those that like an amber fragrance that plays it safe and flies a little under the radar. A fairly simple scent that has just enough going on to make it worth owning. Most amber scents are better suited for winter but this amber scent is perfect in the summer as well. An all-around crowd pleaser!
There's a shimmering quality to it. It reflects light with its smell. It's like an olfactory gemstone." As per perfumer Abdussalaam Attar: "Ambergris is a pheromone molecule, and is traditionally used in ayurveda and unani medecine as are used other pheromones such as muskdeer, civet and castoreum. Civet and ambergris are like the smell of a woman.
Amber Kiso - i keep trying to find the right words to describe the notes and how it evolves, etc and i'm not very good at that so i'll do my best to just share my scattered thoughts with you: kind of leather, smoke and incense, sweet woods. people tell me when i hug them they end up smelling like me. when sprayed on clothes i can still smell it ...
Like all the range, it's not for the faint of heart; the top notes take a moment to get used to, but it is an elegant self assured perfume that isn't trying to endlessly make a person smell like a place (nothing wrong with olfactory art, but sometimes I just want a perfume to reflect/enhance my look, with no need to smell like a fireplace ...
