What essentially means “Southward Amber”…Ambar Del Sur is a light, dare I say refreshing amber (wasn’t sure one could exist!), lightened by the vanilla…perfect for a light fall day where the weather may still be warm enough to ward off a heavy fragrance…I have fallen in love with several Carnier Barcelona fragrances, this one now added to the mix!

Very classy amber indeed with a beautifully dry, papery opening and some unusually spicy, dusty nuance. Not huge, and with a lovely soft, smooth texture to it. However, for me personally, just a little too sweet and vanilla-heavy overall, which edges it dangerously close to Amber Headache territory. Projection’s confident, on me longevity was just OK. I’m amber-ambivalent (those headaches!) but liked this plenty, yet it didn’t entirely win my trust. For amber to work for me this would have to go even drier and much spicier, but for those with less ambivalence, this should definitely be tried to see if it works for you. Reminded me a little of a more confident, more rounded, much lusher version of Merchant of Venice Ottoman Amber.

Ambar del Sur is a beautiful light & soft unisex warm scent with an oriental vibe suitable for fall, spring an summer, day and night. The only minus is its projection which is soft. The longevity is moderate. The opening has some similarities with Frapin 1270 but thedry down is different.
Dominant notes are beautiful and safe patchouli which is slightly earthy, sub-sweet myrrh, well balanced dry and slightly dusty amber, mild vanilla without exessive swetness. The labdanum, the tonka beans AND the bergamot feel like a base, this combo is constantly at the background. There’s also a very faint floral note which looks like jasmin which dies quickly. Overall is a very well blended and balanced familiar scent for me. It’s not a common smell but it’s not either new if you are into oriental and arabic scents. Beautiful!
Edit
At the late dry down in looks like again close to Frapin 1270. When it’s a skin scent feels close to Ideal Parfum and just before it dies smells similar to Lalique Or Intemporel.

Meh. The notes sounded great and sniffing the sample vial got me hopeful but this has the same cheap and synthetic smelling sweet aromachemical base that ruined Palo Santo for me as well. I adore Cuirs but everything else by this brand has let me down so far.

Beautiful warm and spicy amber, but (shame…) it’s gone with the wind so fast and that’s it!
I can’t understand, why soo weak the most perfumes nowadays?? And why can make great long lasting fragrances some (painfully few) brand/perfumeur?
