A parade of accords – spicy (nutmeg), floral (rose), earthy (patchouli), even fresh (geranium) – manifest joyfully in quick succession before settling into a wonderfully warm musky-resinous glee.
Ambre 114 is easy to wear, elegant and smooth. I like it a lot, but it lacks the lushness and width for me to devote my love.

bilal12 – :
Certainly a unisex amber dominant fragrance, it is like a slightly spicy slightly rose amber with lots of vanilla in the drydown. To my nose it reminds me of Tauerville vanilla flash. It is pretty smooth, especially in the drydown, which lasts for quite a while on my skin. Overall it is a solid amber frag but i have smelt better imo.
slav234 – :
it has just arrived …. fine, fine ….
nice … a bit powdery with a hint of feminine vibe,
but nice niché quality vibe, so i have to test it
if women like it on me ..

A refined, near-perfect amber…
I do love this one. I am a fan of ambers in general, and this one impressed me right out of the bottle. I love the way the ingredients are balanced just right here. The vanilla, benzoin and tonka give the sweetness, and it has a clean, sharp side which is the patchouli, geranium & caraway. There is a very good contrast going on here which works together perfectly. Histoires de Parfums is not a house I have tried out before but now I am very impressed.
It has a sharp, crisp quality with a resinous sweetness from the amber, but at no point does this become to syrupy or gourmandish in any way. It’s not like Ambre Sultan or Ambre Narguilé in that the amber is very foody (savory in the case of the Serge Lutens and Sweet in the case of Hermès). Nor is this a leathery amber in the case of the Cuir de Russie type variety. This is just refined, high quality, no fuss amber. This is a standalone, almost reference amber fragrance. I would recommend it!

Ambre 114 arrived in my mailbox today. I put it on several hours ago so this is my first impression. I bought a .5 oz bottle based off a review under Grand Soir from Frag member black_orchid. I do like Ambre 114, but it trails behind my three favorite amber dominant scents: Ambre Fétiche by Annick Goutal, l’Artisan Ambre Extreme and Grand Soir by MFK.
114 is one of the better quality creamy amber compositions, with vanilla, woods and lots of benzoin. I think this is perfect for Fall weather. The projection on me is a little softer than I was hoping, but still a choice offering from Histoires de Parfums. I have no regrets with my blind bottle purchase though I don’t love it.
Time for me to track down a sample of Luten’s Ambre Sultan.
cinemmancinem – :
I was expecting something amazing from the original gourmand pyramid but it’s just an unpleasant and undefined skinscent of cumin-caraway and benzoin.
Kostefan651 – :
this starts with amber and some dry woods.. i think i smell a hint of the caraway, along with vetiver, cedar and sandalwood. this is definitely a more woody amber. it gets a bit powdery after a few minutes. after about 10-15 minutes i get the tonka and maybe a hint of nutmeg, followed by vanilla. dry, woods mixed with soft powdery amber and tonka/vanilla. what’s not to love? this scent will be fantastic in fall and winter.
Meoob675Negeltzex – :
My immediate thought upon smelling this;
This opening is M7
Funny no one has commented on the resemblance yet!
trufariurgime – :
Oh how I love this amber scent! I have many amber perfumes but this is tied in first place with another one.
Sweet, warm, enticing amber and spices. Genuinely leans unisex. I can definitely pick up on the geranium, nutmeg and vanilla/benzoin.
I’ve worn this in summer and winter. It’s not a very heavy amber so I wear it in all seasons and day/night.
So perfect.
zhuk – :
pencil shavings, vanilla, honey, powder. This is nice if you don’t want a heavy scent, a lighter sweet oriental but does smell similar to a much older generation of vanilla spice powder scents.
There is rose and patchouli in here but not as distinct notes. I think this house is really good at using these two together somewhere in the backseat of the fragrance to support the other notes.
Not for me but I could see this being perfect for someone wanting a light vanilla woods and spice.
geaplered – :
This is a really nice amber. It’s cozy, comfortable, easy to wear, but still spicy and elegant and not super sweet and a bit powdery. I am a wary of ambers that can get too sweet or too gourmandish, but I love ones that are more balsalmic an smokey or herbal ,like Ambre Sultan, Ambre Aurea, Ambre Ambre Fétiche, etc. and this definitely seems closer to those types although a bit more vanilla-y. I like that 114 is a bit lighter too, I’ve worn this during the day and to work. I love the spicy nutmeg and caraway opening as well it has that herbal/spicyness to it. It kind of makes me feel like I’m wearing a softer, more muted Ambre Sultan in a way, although they don’t smell the same. I have yet to smell Ambre Precieux, but since people are comparing it to this one It’s making me want to more. Nice job HdP!
1964 игорь2010 – :
Interesting, but I’m not sure I like it. Smells like someone’s granny! It’s not the sexy amber I was hoping for.
EDIT: wore this again today (May, winter in the southern hemisphere) as I still have some juice left in my sample and I now love it! It smells like someone’s sexy grandma. haha. I now love the opening and the comfortable warmth that envelopes me as the scent develops. It’s so good and comforting.
medovar1972 – :
Creamy, sweet, and rich perfume. Very warm and cozy. Long lasting, good quality perfume.
sviridov.10.12.1990 – :
Susen and Ranchorita said it best! It also reminds me of 1740. Very similar scents jut different takes.
Алексей Кугубаев – :
This makes me think of Dune. It’s not a dupe, but it has the same spicy, bold, arid feeling to it. There’s more vanilla in this though, and despite it’s name I’m not getting a lot of amber. I’m not really a spice fan, but this has grown on me as it’s developed.
martyn-nikolaj – :
I am not picking up any amber here, just a whole lot of smokiness. To me this is easily along the lines of Shalimar, CK Secret Obsession, Giorgio Red, along those lines (not dupes, just a similar vibe). After many hours (6 or more hours) of wearing this and this being a very unisex smoky scent on my skin, this settles into a basic vanilla scent.
Can be heavy, so one or two quick light sprays is plenty. Lasts a good 12 hours or more. Not a lightweight fragrance, yet not overpowering. But I do not think this is office-safe nor crowd-friendly. This might seem unisex or even masculine to some. Not an everyday frag for me, but will be nice on cold Winter days when I want “something different” (and yet familiar). But this was a blind buy for me and had I tested this, I doubt I would have purchased, as for me, I have enough unisex and smoky type fragrances. I would say to test this before purchasing.
Daeron259 – :
The coziest amber around plus it’s actually an oriental-fougere so it won’t hold you in firm amber grip as it will caress you with vanilla, tonka and lovely nutmeg. Under a polished, modern surface there are some more wonderful things to sense from time to time as spices, rose, vetiver and there’s a certain vintage, kind of musty feel that seems perfectly in place – airy and manly.
Very nice, calm and quite sexy. A perfect seduction fragrance for a man.

vovkill – :
This may be the amber I’ve been sniffing for lately.
It’s soft, with a tiny spark of spices, in a lovely powdery bed of musky vanilla. The vetiver and patchouli offsets the smooth sweet tonka very pleasantly. It’s remarkably well blended, and behaves well if the wearer might be around fragrance sensitive folks.
Went perfectly with this sunny autumn day.
ogre74 – :
A very smooth and likeable fragrance. Sweet and warm and creamy with a touch of powder. It is neither young or old and playfully glides between masculinity and femininity, and it is hard to put a face to the smell. However, I can imagine somebody bright, confident and creative pulling it off with ease. As others have said previously, if you are wanting to explore the world of amber / Middle-Eastern fragrances, this is a lovely and pleasant place to start.
Ruimbibly – :
This isn’t for me. Too powdery. But great performance, and if you’re going for a vitage vibe I can see this being your style. I agree with the other reviews saying it reminds them of Tabu.
If you’re looking for a less powdery amber, I love Gran Soir by MFK. Amber oud by killian is also nice. I’m still looking for an amber at a lower price point to fall in love with
prima1223 – :
Yes, there is an old-fashioned quality to Ambre 114, but it is a mild and lovely amber that I agree would make it an excellent entry-level amber for someone who wants to expand into rich ambers but prefers a lighter fragrance. There also is almost a powdery effect to this fragrance, but it is more of a hint rather than the wallop many powder accords pack. I applied this fairly liberally this morning, and it has dried down to a vanillic amber skin scent. I will wear this on days when I want to wear a fragrance but will be proximal to scent-sensitive people, and I will reserve my Ambre Sultan and L’Ombre Fauve for when I want to wear an amber with more oomph. Ambre 114 has held on for eight hours, but it is quite light at this point, like a faint but lovely presence.
Bars_rb – :
Ooohhh…this reminds me of my Aunt that wore Tabu. She definately would have loved this one. I get nuances of Tabu and other retro powerhouses from back in the day…very well done I am very impressed with Histoires de Parfums. They really know how to do amber and patchouli well…
Ambre 114 is a sultry cabaret singer with a deep voice sitting on the piano with her red sequin gown,high slit, and even redder lipstick, looking something like Rita Hayworth…red hot!! Mmmm, yes I must get me some of this wonderful old Hollywood style Speakeasy scent;)
юсов николай – :
I’m an amber lover. I have been since I can remember. Histoires de Parfums does amber right! It’s smooth and creamy, and a little sweet (caramely), and even a touch smoky.
It’s a complex and well-blended fragrance. It’s really difficult to pick out individual notes. It’s decidedly amber, but everything else is so beautifully and artfully blended together to support the star of this scent that I really can’t pick out a single note, other than the amber.
This is probably among my top 2 amber fragrances of all time – maybe even #1. I absolutely ADORE it. It’s addictive.
I also really, really love 1740 Marquis de Sade in this line – and layered under Ambre 114 – HEAVEN! Brings out the Marquis’ feminine side. 😉
In addition, layering it under 1804 brings out a bit of floral sweetness and amps up Ambre 114’s femininity factor – SO LOVELY!
mkusernamev4 – :
Notice how everyone raves about this stuff ? And for good reasons.
As a fan of ambers, this is the one I compare all others too.
I have a full bottle, but one of those $35 15ml samples will last anyone far beyond where they’ve made their mind up.
If you should just starting out with ambers, one of the most solid places to begin your amber adventure.
Great stuff.
ALEX0 – :
At the first whiff, I think this smells like Shalimar. There is a soft opening of powder and citrus that is evocative of Shalimar. That opening note is gone quickly and Ambre 114 comes into its own.
The amber here is very cuddly and warm. This is creamy and maternal. There is a soft vanilla and some delicate spice notes, but this is not at all gourmand. This is perfect for crisp fall days.
Amber is a crowded category and you may already have a favorite, but this is definitely one worth trying.

عنبر، ماده ی گرانبها، جادویی و این روزا کمیاب عطرسازیه. ماده ای که در فرهنگها و تمدنهای مختلف، از دیرباز ارزشمند و پرکاربرد بوده و این روزا، یجورایی یافت می نشود!
ماده ی ویژه ای که از ترشحات مختلف!!! نهنگ بدست میاد و در حالت خام، بویی فکال، انیمالیک و زننده با رگه هایی دریایی-جلبکی داره؛ اما به مرور، شیرینی مطبوع، حالتی صمغی-دودی و خاکی پیدا میکنه و ویژگیهای منحصربفرد و ارزش بالای اون، باعث شد تا خیلی زود به تمدنهای مختلف راه پیدا کنه. از ایران و چین و مصر تا یونان و روم. ماده ای برای سوزانده شدن بعنوان یه بخور خوشبو و محرک، یه چاشنی غذایی گرونقیمت، داروی مبارزه با طاعون و بیماری های مختلف و در نهایت، عطری برای اشراف زاده ها و پادشاهان، همه و همه، کاربردهای این ماده ی مومی سنگ مانند هستن که گفته میشه حدود 114 ترکیب مختلف، اونو تشکیل میدن.
آمبر 114 هم، پرداخت گیزلین و هیستوا پغفم به عنبر هست که وجوه مختلف اونو به زیبایی به نمایش گذاشته.
آکورد عنبر در این عطر، بیشتر بر وجه شیرین خوشمزه و انگیزاننده، خاکی و صمغی عنبر تأکید داره. همراهی وانیل، تونکا، بنزویین و نوتهای چوبی صندل و سدر، جبهه ی شیرین(کنترل شده و مطبوع)، خوشمزه و محرک و مستحکم فضا رو تشکیل دادن. فضایی که، فضای غالب عطر هست. از طرفی بنزویین و پچولی، رگه های دودی و کمی گیاهی رو به زیبایی به حاشیه های کار بخشیدن. در همین حاشیه ها، یه حس چرکین و انیمالیک ظریف هم حضور داره که از مشک و ادویه ها(؟) حاصل شده تا آمبر 114 از آغاز تا پایان در این فضا، به تفسیر عنبر بپردازه.
تفسیری خطی اما چند لایه. شیرینی خاکی-دودی مستحکم که فضای کلی هست، تم دودی-صمغی-موم مانند ظریف حاشیه و حسی فکال و کمی چرکین که بعد از گذشت ساعتی، محو میشه.
آمبر 114، عطر خوب و خوش ساختی از عنبر هست. در واقع بازسازی باشکوهی از این ماده هست با پرداختی قابل قبول و خوب به جزییات و ظرایف. گرم و دنج و مطبوع، اغواگر و آرامش بخش و غنی و خیال انگیز، درست مثل اونچه که از گذشته ها این ماده رو محبوب کرده و تا به امروز، محبوبیتش رو ادامه داده.
حدود 10 ساعت ماندگاری و پخش قابل قبولی داره این عطر…

This is a wonderful masculine amber. I would not call this unisex. The vetiver and woods are pronounced. I do not get any sweetness or vanilla. I would highly recommend this amber to anyone wanting a creamy, woody, manly amber.

skerik – :
Wow. My kind of scent. Super balsamic ambery sweet but not overly sweet. To me this is very simliar to SL Ambre sultan. Could last longer…I’ve had to respray several times throughout the day.
Loner777 – :
usually when I think “makeup bag scent” I think powdery rose or violets, but this is like a makeup bag amber. I really, really like it but am unsure if I need a full bottle because I already have/want so many ambers. But I’ve gotta say, this one is not like any others I have smelled. It’s one of the nicest vanilla/amber perfumes I have ever tried!
Edit: it also kind of reminds me of Guerlain Oriental Brulant but with more vanilla. After wearing it again I’m thinking I might need a full bottle after all. It’s as beautiful in the summer as the winter.
imisha33 – :
If you have not tried this or any of the other fragrances from histoire de parfum, I would highly recommend picking up the discovery set. I have only tried this fragrance so far and although it wasn’t something that really popped for me… i found it to be an excellent fragrance and I think it has the potential to grow on me more and more. Ingredients seem quality.
Update: All of these are quality fragrances, I really mean that.
They all smell fantastic.
My favorites are:
1828- Fresh daytime
1740- nightime/ more complex
… but seriously… I like ALL of them.
Before I got this discovery set I thought Histoires might be partially hype, but I am now a fan.
morozovish – :
This is the least powdery of theirs. I can’t believe citrus notes are not listed. They are strongly there in the top! least favorite of this house so far, and I am an amber lover and collector; nice amber in the top but with too much citrus and Play Doh; becomes a bit of a nonfloral copy of Shalimar; strongest of theirs so far and not the powdery norm, then an almost chemical plastic note rises; this is really no better to me than a modern Molinard Amber or another inexpensive amber
Philipeskt85 – :
So far a pattern is emerging, of the 3 fragrances I’ve tried from Histoires de Parfums, all of them have been overwhelmingly powdery. I’m a fan of amber-esque fragrances. This is a light rendition of one, and by light I mean light. The initial scent is not of my taste, it’s dry and foodie and brash. But it quickly mellows down into something smooth, creamy and warm. This is one that takes time to shine, but it does shine well once it gets there. On the border for me between 7 and 7.5/10.
679ibragim – :
A beautiful, comforting amber that still manages to avoid any heaviness. Underneath the powdery vanilla, a refreshing zinginess (from the nutmeg and caraway?) keeps the whole thing aloft. An amber fragrance for people who find them too heavy or cloying – the amber here is more of a concept than a dominant note. I’d say this was a pleasant, smooth, well structured herbaceous/ woody/ floral fragrance; all of it’s sharp edges have been smoothed out by the amber that carries it with great aplomb, as one would expect from a house like HdP. Reminds me a bit of Eau Duelle. One of the easiest wearing and most likeable ambers I’ve smelled.
Xeroxfnyzo – :
I tried this one on in Sephora an didn’t like it at first. I found the opening too loud and kinda high pitched. The drydmown however was/is amazing and lasts forever!!
When I had sprayed it on my wrist that day in Sephora, I got some on the cuff of my jacket and for the next couple weeks I kept noticing that divine amber smell over and over, so I decided that I must getting a bottle
Goldibadato – :
Most people describe Ambre 114 as a smooth and cuddly amber scent. This is not how it reads on my skin.
There is a strong herbal aspect to it in the beginning that creates kind of a medicinal vibe – I find it quite disturbing. On my skin, a nutmeg note is very pronounced too, which makes 114 smell almost pungent in the first hour. This phase reminds me of Prada’s Amber and I must admit, I can’t enjoy anything about it. It’s too heavy and vintage-y for my liking.
114 becomes much prettier after several (2-3) hours. Salty nuances of ambergris show up and they are beautiful. Earthy notes are gone, giving caramel like sweetness a bigger space. The fragrance loses its weight and becomes quite enjoyable to my nose. That being said, it also becomes very abstract smelling.
Considering the fact that I like amber perfumes with a luminous touch (Ambre Nuit, for instance) Ambre 114’s chances to enchant me were already low in the beginning, but I still feel disappointed. I expected something resinous, yet airy. Instead, this smells retro and vague, and doesn’t really stand out.
PS My pillow likes this fragrance better than my skin. Nutmeg stays unnoticed, letting 114 create a warm, cuddly aura in my bedroom. I’ve been having really nice dreams lately.:)

This will be nothing like Dior Savauge. This is all about benzoin, patchouli, and amber, though there are some sweeter spices that turn up.

wivulytila – :
I own dior sauvage parfum, and the dry down is smooth butterscotch amber. Can anyone tell me if this would be a redundant purchase???
znakomstva – :
I received a sample of this from a generous Fragrantican, and I LOVE it. I put it on maybe 10 minutes ago. I don’t smell much besides a true, somewhat salty, somewhat powdery amber. I don’t smell much else besides, but that’s OK (after reading the notes, I think I smell z hint of nutmeg). I love amber scents so much. I’d say this is full bottle worthy, but I recently dropped more money than I should have on Diptyque’s Volutes, another amber of the same variety, but with honey and Tobacco added.
When/if I finish Volutes, I might buy this instead of replacing.
Edit: after 10 more minutes or so, I detect cedar and other woody aromas emerging. This scent is really nice, and maybe different enough from Volutes to justify buying a 10 mL or so decant.

Absolutely delicious. The most beautiful olfactory embrace you can possibly have. I can see the similarities with Ambre Preciux… AP being the more serious amber, Ambre 114 being more of the playful? brighter? Not sure.
Regardless, you will not go wrong having both on your collection.
Smell great my friends.
witas75 – :
Oh how I love my amber based fragrances! And this one is in my top five favorites (my favorite being Serge Luten’s Ambre Sultan). This one reminds me of my Serge. The Ambre 114 has a warm cuddly feeling throughout its wear. I love the thyme and nutmeg notes, they add an earthiness to this beautiful composition. If you love SL’s Ambre Sultan or I Profumi di Firenze’s Ambra del Nepal then this fragrance is for you!
andrey333 – :
On paper this should be exactly right for me as it contains everything that I love apparently – nutmeg, vetiver, rose, geranium, vanilla, benzoin, tonka bean, amber etc. In reality it really doesn’t suit me and all I get is overwhelming amber and musk which is way too heavy (and I usually like heavy!), powdery, and cloying. After numerous attempts I’ve found I just can’t wear it as it’s migraine-inducing for me! Maybe it’s my skin, I don’t know, but I’m so glad this was just a sample which I’d purchased through my recommendations on ‘Nose’. I’d have been gutted if I’d have blind-bought this at full price. After my final attempt at wearing it today the rest is going in the bin and I’m going to bed with a migraine!
georgekis – :
In the words of @the_badger . . . “Instant Love” . . this is my kind of easy to wear amber . . . smooth balmy sweet and resinous. I’ve been hunting and buying ambers all this year and this is one of several new loves I’ve discovered. The interpaly of nutmeg, vanilla and tonka give 114 a very subtle gourmand-ish essence about it. The florals give it a romantic essence. But amber and benzoin are the real stars and I’m loving every minute. I’m afraid I’ll have to splurge and upgrade my 14ml purse spray. 🙂
MaxX – :
It’s ok..kinda meh. If you really want to know what this smells like (on skin) go get a bar of dove soap out of the box and put it up to your nose. That’s exactly what this smells like. See this is the problem with “hype” makes me expect something then I get it and it’s not there. I like my Amber served different along the lines of Amber absolute or Amber russe or Rania Js Ambre loup. This….pass.
fluxzzmz – :
The most delicious, powdery, gourmand type of amber I have smelled, like a sponge cake right out of the oven. Not very manly but hell who cares when it smells this good. Instant love.
Hutsstorb – :
Apparently simple possible fragrance, classic and timeless cut, with just the right spice, just wood with amber fair, with the right balance, with impeccable transitions between chords, with the duration and fair trail and a warmth very far.
Basically it feels amber maybe type Ambroxan and nutmeg with markedly balsamic accent, a drop of rose and another drop of sandalwood, seems little and I assure you no longer need.
Everything is perfectly measured and tied in this fragrance from start to finish.
No doubt there are many good amber fragrances in the market, but this can be considered an amber reference to be comparable with any other by the high level of expertise and complexity in implementation.
Very good quality, this fragrance is designed to charm by its apparent simplicity beautiful.
Simply “Ambre 114” is impeccable and seductive amber !!

Winsfan71 – :
I´ve got an old tester bottle, which was half empty for 20 Euro. This is the most elegant fragrance I know. Very powdery amber. Rose makes fragrances in general very elegant. The result, Ambre 114 smells in the sillage like chalk.
The only problem is, I can´t wear it.
I am a poor guy. This fragrance shows richness.
I am under 30. This fragrance shows matureness.
I don´t have a girlfriend. This fragrance is for those who stay with both feet on the ground (family, wife, own house, etc.).
So I have to use my teenager scents and be happy with them. What a pitty.
Naley-naley – :
It’s a resinous and spicy scent on me with a bit of vanilla and a bit of vetiver. I feel very comfortable and warm when I wear it. Liking this one a lot.
lera angel for you – :
At first you get the spices with some florals with a rich creaminess underneath. And the longer you wear it the more rich this fragrances becomes. It just turns into this warm thick rich sweet vanilla and amber blanket that just envelopes you. Gets me compliments every time. And longevity is awesome.
eximitrutty – :
Pleasing moments of amber, vanilla, balsamic, warm spice. Wears down smoothly. I wish it had more sillage though, but great for work
micropiskuc – :
I don’t know why but this is the shit!!! I love this fragrance and wish I could wear it all the time. The only downside is that it is not really great in the hotter climates but still a great fragrance. Love the powdery opening!!!
Andrey88 – :
I’ve tested it out today.
This is amber wrapped in vanilla. There are lots of vanilla, tonka and benzoin in the background. But still the main player is amber.
It’s sweeter and smoother than Ambrarem, which makes it more unisex than Ambrarem is.
Longevity is 12 hours, sillage is big.
All in all – a nice fragrance, but still my favourite amber based scent remains Ambrarem.
slavutich_ri – :
Graceful, sophisticated, for all seasons. I can feel immediately cedar, and nutmeg notes and finally turns powdered with amber tones. Nothing exceptional.
romchik070494 – :
Should of been named Patchouli 114. If I was purposely looking for a patchouli scent, this would have fit the bill otherwise, this particular amber is deemed a disappointment in my book. Patchouli, vanilla, musk and something else resembling root beer. That’s the gist of the composition. Is it Comforting? Yes. Long lasting? Yes. Forgettable?…. Um yes. Kinda reminds me of the drydown in Les Jeux Sont Faits. I wish I could lie and tell everyone that Ambre 114 is “off the chain” but this is um….”on the chain”. Just a regular degular niche scent. Balloon poppers..bring it on!
besik – :
Powdery, sweet, oily amber and vanilla, with tinges of sleepy lavender, geranium and patchouli. It’s a very lush, hazy scent. I like to dose up on this before bed time as it relaxes me, but I don’t feel comfortable wearing it outside the house. It’s homely smelling; reminds me of massage oil, talc and vanilla custard powder.
Pleasant, comforting, but not exactly sexy. It’s also very similar to “L’Eau d’Ambre” by L`Artisan Parfumeur.
vsemprivet77 – :
This is a powdery, sweet amber. Reminded me of Shalimar with the fecal note replaced by Amber. Not my thing, but long lasting and very well done
mutobor – :
Warm, pleasant amber, but too vanillic and too sweet on my skin in the first hour. Rather cloying in comparison to other lighter ambers that I prefer. The drydown is powdery and almondy like a gourmand. Good quality ingredients, but this is not to my taste at all. Too sweet and too powdery for an hour or so and then the almond note turns rather bitter on my skin and wavers between too sweet and a slight bitterness. It finally dries down to a decent resinous amber scent. This scent is not light or transparent to me, but rather heavy. This is another one that I would not kick to the curb, and I’d wear it if it were the only amber in the world, but there are many other ambers that are more to my taste.
etativ – :
This is great lots of spices warm amber, get earthy-almond of tonka too. Very smooth transitions through notes for me , is like velvet nothing is jarring. Great winter scent this! I am offering my new bottle for swap though, sad memories and time to move on. Dry down is nice, bit of some powdery effect is adding elegant sophistication and 8 hours at least lasting.
tram777 – :
Soft, powdery, sweet vanillic amber, unisex and very versatile. It isn’t heavy, it is transparent.
However, it still has its character: there is a smoky undertone in it, and it lasts long, although the sillage isn’t huge.
I would say – a classy daytime amber.
Saneg – :
Just received a sample from Lucky Scent….Simply incredible!!! Each and every whiff I take the scent actually soothes its way throughout my body giving me that ahhhhhhh moment. Ordering 2 bottles today!
Игрик – :
This is very sweet. Probably the sweetest fragrance I have encountered. Lucky for me I love sweet.
There is something spicy that cuts, or perhaps just grazes, the sugary vanilla and amber heart of this fragrance. I can’t work out if its the caraway, geranium or patchouli. Its a quiet cut. When the spicy notes escape its as if they have lost something in their battle for freedom. There is also a rose note that subtly colours the fragrance. Like the spice, its struggles from the sugary depths to add a hint of colour.
The overall effect, at least for me, is Caron’s Pour un Homme heated in the oven until the lavender cooks off. Then gentle spices, rose water and lots of amber are added as it cools. To finish, its dusted in icing sugar – ready to eat. But as we all know: you can’t have your cake and eat it too – better stick to smelling this confectionery treat.

This one opens up with a sharp spicy note. My guess that would be the caraway. It then quickly settles down to a soft creamy powdery scent. I get amber, vanilla and geranium. Geranium in this is prominent and it does remind me of baby powder. Moderate projection and longevity on my skin. It could be better if I applied more since I’m testing it from a small 0.7ml vial. IMO, it’s a different take on amber fragrances with a floral twist and I can see that someone may like it. However, I prefer my amber creamy and spicy only so this is a pass for me. Sorry.

I used to associate “amber” with notions such as exoticism, opulence, and (in extreme cases toothache-inducing) sweetness. Histoires de Parfums with their “Ambre 114” have literally shattered my prejudice towards this note by demonstarting that an amber-centred perfume can also be light, smooth and fresh.
Even though Ambre 114 is alleged to have been composed of 114 elements, it is a linear perfume in my books. Basically, it´s all about amber, vanilla and patchouli, perhaps with barely perceptible whiffs of nutmeg in the head and sandalwood in the heart. Its linearity is prefectly fine with me since it contains ingredients of the highest quality, definitely worthy of its niche fragrance status as well as its hefty price tag.
In my view, Ambre 114 is a charming and surprisingly versatile perfume. Thanks to this offering and other fragrances from their line, Histoires de Parfums have swiftly become one of my favourite perfume houses. Bravo!

I know, I am the biggest peasant of fragantica, but this is not the revelation, which this perfume’s reputation implies. It turns very sweet and even a little powderish, it is not a bit rough, and for sure it is not a smokey amber, just a mediocre, alright ambre, somewhat without own character to me and even a bit too drugstore.
At the moment I favourite L’Occitane’s Amber of all the ones, I’ve tried (which is lot, I still seek the perfect amber – to give you an idea of what I also tried: Madini’s ambers, Ava Luxe’s ambers, L’Occitane’s Labdanum, Ambre Fetiche, Cuir Ambre, Reminiscene’s Ambre, Ambre Gris, Ambre’Dor, Artisan’s two ambres, Blue Amber, Burnt Amber by Neil Morris… I think, you get t
