Oh, I do adore this. And I did adore the original when I have smelled it for the first time. But do I enjoy this more then the new Terre de Lumiere? I have concurred that Terre wins by a small margin, simply because it is more interesting.
This is quite a linear amber and that does not bother me here at all because I enjoy the experience a lot. It is sweet, somewhat sweeter than some of the other ambers I have sampled, but once again, as with Terre, the sweetness is not cloying in the least. It melts with the skin and becomes velvety smooth. Not too balsamic, so if you enjoy a certain spiciness, this might disappoint you.
You catch wafts for some 5-6 hours. It does not stay overnight like some of my dear other vanillas, but that is fine. It is one of my favorite ambers so far.

Very nice amber fragrance.
Light version of something between Molinard Ambre and Etro Ambra.

I tested this today, I was eager to see if it really was as amazing as most people said.
Well, it undoubtedly is an amazing amber, really pleasant, long lasting, and with a very good sillage.
My problem with it is its excessive sweetness. It is SO sweet, almost like a gourmand, but without being a gourmand… And this annoys me. I didn’t expect it, at the very beginning I was totally loving it, but after a couple of minutes it really became too sweet for my liking. It wasn’t even too much about vanilla really, just this super duper sweet amber.
Moreover, I then found it a bit too simple for my taste, and it also gave me a light headache.
So, if some friend gave this to me I’d still be happy because really, it’s an enjoyable amber, but I would layer it with something darker and woodier, to give it depth and less sweetness.
(By the way, maybe it’s because I’m used to L’Erbolario’s Ambraliquida which is much more bitter and complex, at least to me, so this was quite a shock :))

Does this manage to live up to the previous amber from L’Occitane? I think all original Amber-lovers want to know this…

It is warm and sweet, persistent and fascinating.
Still not too sweet, there is some wood and it easily be a unisex fragrance.
I consider it a quality product, not common and pleasant in any occasion (but I would avoid during hot seasons).

An almondy, tonka, mou (caramel), woody, amber scent.
Very vanilline, but nice. A bit leather.
Make me think to a relaxing mountain’s shop-café in light wood.
Very good amber. Simple and enveloping. Soft oriental.

A very light touch of fresh flowers brings subtle movement to this pleasant multilayered amber fragrance. Comparing to many other ambers, this one is not only warming, it is uplifting. That widens the seasons for this fragrance. It fits spring and cool summer in the Baltics. It should fit autumn too. Quite good longevity.

This is not a new fragrance – it is one of three “Les Classiques” just relaunched by L’Occitane.
