This does smell raw for better or worse.
Quite middle eastern.
If you like those two observations this is a keeper.
You could easily layer this with some musk or oud or both.
A little more daring than their other amber offerings.
Good performance. Nice sillage.
Note: I’m reviewing the 100 ml bottle not the oil.

BEAUTIFUL! Salty ambergris plus a very faint cinnamon note, etc! Beautiful!

This is especially fresh leather-ambrey, a bit sour at the opening with a dose of raw tobacco and lightly bittersweet floral and fruity saffron. In this you can also perceive Lutens’ amber herbalism and the elegant Bel Amber of Jacques Fath.
Fairly discreet and easy to wear, I consider it only masculine, close to the skin, with no big evolution and with a final dusty a bit boring compared to the other amber blends of this line.
There’s more besides ambergris here ,but this note is a slight minority or is not quite “sexy” for my taste.
All this concerns the extract parfum spray version. Obviously it is less strong and faster in development but it is not the sillage or the longevity or even less the quality the problem. But the story, the journey and the transport that I miss here.
Here I miss the happy ending…
I was expecting only Ambergris and little else and this has me a bit ‘displaced …
The finish reminds me of the skin of children and that particular smell that you have by opening a bag of chips.
I will use it as a neutral veil on summer evenings to remind me of distant sea breezes.
Not a second purchase for my curious and inexperienced nose.
the 100ml bottle is beautiful but the plexiglass cap leaves something to be desired…

This has to be the most raw smelling fragrance I’ve ever come across. I’ve never experienced true ambergris before so this was a new experience for me. I smoke a pipe and usually stick to the vanilla aromatic blends but now and then I’ll smoke an english blend. These typically smell spicy, leathery, etc. Upon my first application of this fragrance, I was immediately reminded of opening a new tin of english tobacco. I thought, ” this might be a little to exotic for me”, so I let my wife and daughter smell it. They both liked it and said that it reminded them of leather. I also get a smoky smell, which again reminds me of the pipe tobacco.
I’m still very much on the fence about this one. It’s the only fragrance I’ve ever worn that I felt a little self-contious about, only because it is so “raw” smelling.
