Awful from the bottle, which could explain some of the negative reviews, amazing once on the skin, a real surprise. Unusual, sophisticated and expensive smelling. A small amount goes a long way.
Perfect for colder evenings.
It was a mistaken purchase by myself at an airport, but one that I’m very glad that I made.
This will be my go to winter fragrance.
blosser – :
Very Smokey, leathery and sweet rose with woody background..
This is a unique and daring fragrance. Smells expensive and niche.
Longevity is crazy, lasts 12+ hrs on skin and for days on clothes.

Tried this at London Heathrow Airport. To me it’s a strong rose and labdanum fragrance that lingers long enough to give it a middle-eastern vibe. Could not smell incense & vetiver. Base has a dry woody feel. It lasted for 4 hrs on my skin.

Can’t decide if I like it or not but its much better than NOIR AMBER
Zloelamo – :
Anyone know if/when this is coming out in the US? The sound of an Issey Miyake rose and incense scent sounds divine, especially without oud.

What a shame, after the amazing Noir Ambre release I had high hopes for this one, but it’s badicslly a worse version of CH Men Prive or Yves Rocher Ambre Noir

Here we go (and I am yawning already because I am already tired of it)! Yet another re-incarnation of ISSEY MIYAKE L’Eau D’Issey. (yawn again).
I think there should be an EU law that states, you can only reincarnate or produce half a dozen flankers but not more! You wish!
Seriously, while I had high hopes in terms of ingredients, the overall execution and blending of (inferior) raw materials is very bad for this hodgepodge of a scent.
I find it very poorly executed and it smells very chemical and artificial. Normally “screechy” would be something you’d expect from a citrus or otherwise hesperidic scent, but this one is a sweet, ambery, woodsy mess of a screechy scent.
Extremely unpleasant for my nose, but so have been most of Christophe Raynaud’s compositions.
Verdict: TO BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS.

Fantastic looking bottle though
nikolanestero – :
Tested it at Sabiha Airport in İstanbul, couldnt beleive how bad it was
senior.roman4ik – :
no oud ? that’s a rarity !
maksnara – :
Rose without oud? I might actually like it. Not sure if it is close enough to the originals to keep the name but it is worth a try. Notes appear to be similar to Declaration d’Un Soir Intense.
