Goes on all spicy and mysterious, but mellows out VERY fast (within 45 minutes or so) into a gentle, classy, non-screeching, non-cloying, headache-free natural amber. I was hoping for something a little fiercer and more original; once you’re into the amber phase it’s a gentle ride, sweet and almost tingeing on powdery, far far gentler than the name would suggest. There are other weirder (and stronger) ambers around, but if you want an honest one with some integrity at a reasonable price, this could work for you.
Projection is discreet in the extreme; longevity up to 4h but no longer. Would need frequent re-spritzing. Completely unisex for those who love amber.

A artful blend about amber and spicy. Its detectable black pepper and spicy first clearly. After that as if to refreshing smells but not clearly. Latest keeping immaculate clear scent. I love latest part. Realy good perfume about between amber scents. It looks like style Tauer LDDM, IMO.
Scent: 9,5/10
Long: 9 / 10
Sillage: 7,5/ 10

I was so excited to try this scent after reading the reviews.
I travelled to Sicily last week (for a holiday, not just scent hunting) and on my 5th day there I visited Siracusa (Ortigia) and headed straight for the Ortigia shop down a very old street.
I sprayed this on my wrist and I was so disappointed. I thought this could be the scent that will bring back memories of Sicily but the scent was sickly and overly pungent. I couldn’t wait to wash it off (as best I could)
After being so excited to try this, and with high expectations, maybe they were too high.
I left Siracusa with Acqua di Parma Ambra instead, and that’s now the smell that reminds me of my Sicilian adventure.

One of the latest additions to my collection, has already collected more compliments than any other I have for long.
A superb blend. I reckon it works better as a men fragrance.
Absolutely in love with it.

The absolute amber for me.
It is exactly how I picture and remember amber. At the same time it is the classiest and dirtiest sexy amber I can imagine.
This perfume evokes the golden glow of resin on an italian violin. It is luminous and glows like Italian sun on ancient wood. It is slight dry like warmth resonating from the friction of bow on string. There is beauty because there is tension, sometimes hard sometime sinuous, between the notes.
if you have ever witness a violinist make love to his instrument, this is what it smells like in the process. It is flush with amber and grunts of resin. It is tender in its sweetness but unrelenting and powerful.

Soulful black amber.
The scent opens spicy, amber establishes itself instantly. Spices, resins and woods give the depth to the scent which makes it very pleasant to wear. It changes not very much: over time, the scent appears to become just more tender.
Ambra Nera stays close to your skin. This “timidity” is probably due to natural ingredients. For the maker of the scent (Ortiga Sicilia) uses only natural ingredients which can be found in Sicily.
But this decency does not diminish the quality of the scent- on the contrary, it makes it mysterious.
In short, Ambra Nera gives a perfect amount of coziness for the colder days.

First off, let me say that for a supposed EDC this is a performance wonder. It lasts and lasts and its projection is superb. If value for money is one of your boxes, tick it straight away!
I get a perfectly balanced amber that rubs me all the right ways. Despite being more or less a base note, it will stay there front and square for you to enjoy right from the outset. In fact, most of the prominent notes in this to me are base notes. Amber, oak moss and labdanum all providing a beastly couch for the glory boys to sit on; patchouli, spice, cedar and some woody resins.
But the thing with this scent that takes me somewhere else and transforms it for me is the sense of booziness I get. Something about this smell reminds me of a dirty night out on the rock n roll express. A blurry night of alcohol, sticky carpets, nefarious liaisons, blinding music and waking up shattered, but with a satisfied smile.
If oriental style ambers and kick ass performance are elements you look for in a fragrance, you may want to give a nod and a wink to Ambra Nera!

I find amber tough to pull off; it’s either too spicy or too heavy or too sweet or too dry. Difficult to wear and on top of all this there’s always killer sillage to endure for hours… But then, there’s also the other end of the spectrum I dislike even more – pale, sweetish, powdery, a sort of ready-made amber.
Eventually I always chose the heavy one. Tough love.
Still, I kept looking for the right one and here it is – Ambra Nera – a hidden gem, exactly in the middle of all ambers I ever wore/tested, with all amber aspects perfectly balanced and fougere part that prevents it from becoming too heavy. Fougere usually means/smells masculine and perhaps it is a bit on the masculine side but hey – masculine or not, this one is simply too delicious to miss.

The best truest amber ever…I can almost taste honied gold glow of solid amber resin.

This is a real gem….IMO one of the best amber fragrances in existence, beautifully fused with patchouli and cedar, rich warm and sweet, as testified by other reviews. Fuggerone is absolutely right, this fragrance beats a lot of big expensive names hands down! If you love amber and precious woods, this one’s for you.

I just love this and have worn nothing else from the moment I found it – 5 years ago. It is so different, rich, spicy warm, sweet and dry at the same time. All of my friends love it – but I’m happy to say that none of them will buy it because they say it’s just “me!”.. I also love Sicilian Lime and am tempted to buy it as a day perfume – but am happy to use the soap and bath gel for the moment.

great amber indeed, this house seems promising will go deep into it, also great price in a niche world overpopulated by overrated and overpriced rubbish!
DeqkihNM – :
This is a deeply delicious amber. Nothing gets in its way. I think it opens quite aggressively, but almost immediately it quiets and becomes warm and enveloping. It is easy to see that this could be for men or women. I bought it because of the positive reviews and I’m not disappointed.

Rich, warm, this perfume makes me feel womanly – absolutely love it! It has fast become a favourite perfume. Easy to wear just about any time, anywhere. It makes me feel more like myself and at home in my own skin – if that makes sense?! Just be careful not to over-spray as it has a big sillage and is very long lasting! I actually bought it within half an hour of testing it -something i NEVER do – but i fell for this one immediately -and my pleasure from it has only increased. Its the sort of perfume I imagine would have been worn (had it then existed) by all the most va va voom pin ups and vintage screen sirens!
Definitely amber at its best!

I love, love, love this fragrance. It’s very warm and sexy. I agree that it is amber at it’s best- not musty or perfumy, just a rich, warm, ever so slightly sweet, sophisticated smell of essential oils.
I collect the Ortigia colognes and they are wonderful, rich, non-perfumy fragrances.
grimnn – :
this is amber at its best, recommended to all the lovers of amber and cedar/precious woods. Well-balanced and inviting for both genders.
