Description
This majestic and audacious composition opens with the citrus notes of bergamot, which are then sweetened by floral touches of geranium and plum. The original color of the sandalwood ingredient is suggestively mirrored in the brown tones throughout the pattern on the glass bottle. Masterly
merged with patchouli, the same ingredient gives pride and intensity to the fragrance. The passionate combination of vanilla with labdanum reveals the richness of Ottoman Amber, a noble fragrance
that takes its inspiration from a far-away and dream-like world.

Really classy amber, but not quite as all-round amazing as you might think from this page, imho. I was hoping for something absolutely spectacularly luxurious, so laced with the glories of the whole Ottoman empire that I’d be swept off my feet, but this isn’t quite there. Yes it is gorgeously spiced and dry enough not to cloy, it’s not chokingly sweet or so huge that it gives you a headache. Delicious and warm without being gourmand – unlike in many cheaper or more feminine amber scents, the vanilla here is kept well under control and is definitely playing third or fourth fiddle, rather than crushing everything else under a ton of cake. Beautifully natural, classically unisex and suitable for any occasion; projection is discreet, but robust in its own zone. So it certainly deserves respect.
But for me it has a couple of weaknesses – I don’t find it as world-beating on the longevity front as other testers here and I really yearned for slightly more daring and aromatic spice in the mix, to match the subtlety and character of the amber itself.
Definitely worth a go if you are fine-tuning your nose to sniff out your perfect amber, but it wouldn’t necessarily be my first choice for a buy, or even first choice on an amber-comparison binge. In my opinion (only) it’s a little overpriced, though it is perceptibly individual high-class enough to be called niche. For a man it may be ideal; as a female user I think I’d tend to go for something a bit bolder, lusher and rounder, like Ambre Loup maybe. 8/10 on this one, I’d say.

This scent is really unisex, as it’s not as dry as most amber/woody scents for men are. The drydown is mostly vanilla with a few hints of oud and myrrh.

A classic reference amber of extreme tenacity – powerful, but close quartered. Rich, without mud in the depth.
A brief touch of citrus opens this audacious composition, quickly making way for the sweet, floral heart of plum and geranium. A sandalwood accord is suggestively mirrored by the brown tones throughout the patterned glass bottle. Here, sandalwood is masterly merged with the intensity of patchouli, laudanum and vanilla. A noble fragrance that takes its inspiration from a far-away land.
