It’s very similar smelling to Ferrari Oud Essence minus the rose note .
But Ferrari I just couldn’t wear because of a weird feeling on smelling so I sold it off and bought Ferrari Amber essence instead .. something is very weird in that fragrance
This is proper high end leather fragrance with excellent amber note .
LUXURY IN A BOTTLE
10/10 for me .

I bought an S.T. Dupont fragrance for the first time 2 months ago. As usual for a non mainstream perfume this was a blind buy for me.
My attention was captured by magnificent bottle and the amber note as amber and oud are probably the notes I like the best. I can only say that I don’t regret one cent of the price I paid for it.
This stuff is signature scent material. It will be dificult for me to resist to the other two fragrances of this series.
After a couple of sprays, you notice that this fragrance is all about amber and leather. A divine amber that embraces all around you blended with a very smooth leather.
There is something animalic about the fragrance that catches your attention in a good way. The notes combination also lead you to scent a balsamic aura around the created ambiance together with a gorgeous smokiness.
16 hours ago, I sprayed the back of my hand twice I can still sniff a very faint skinscent. You get bigger performance if you spray on your clothes and hair.
This persitant long phase is very alluring. And although its sillage and projectio are just average, the longevity may last between 10 and 16 hours depending on where you sray and your skin chemistry. 16 hours ago, I sprayed the back of my hand twice I can still sniff a very faint skinscent. You get bigger performance if you spray on your clothes and hair.
My rates for S.T.Dupont Royal Amber:
Scent Opening: 9.0 (my judgement)
Scent Dry Down: 9.0 (my judgement)
Longevity: 9.5 (very very long; 2 sprays may last for 10-16 hoursm but only a skinscent after the 8th hour)
Sillage: 7.5 (5~6 feet at its peak with just 2 sprays)
Uniqueness: 9.0 (quite unique but there is a resemblance with both Men Amber and WomenAmber for by Halston.)
Wearability: 9.5 (Its subleness let’s you wear it all around the year with the sole exception of the summer daytime,)
Versatility: 9.0 (As long as the people around you are confortable withh an alluring oriental scent, you may use it everywhere with de sole exceptions of beach and workout.
Quality: 9.0 (my judgement)
Presentation: 10.0 (Defenetly in the front row of any shelf)
Price: 7.5 (100 ml non tester for 37 Euros + shipping)
Overall rating: 9.00/10.00
I strongly recommend this fragrance to both genders. It’s tottaly unisex.
Crespo – :
This is not something I normally go for.I prefer feminine fragrances to unisex ones and however I love amber,I usually avoid leather and our in perfumes
I tested it from my friend’s bottle and wow! I’m going to need a bottle for fall and winter
It’s a real oriental fragrance.not a complex one,not as simple as it’s notes suggest either.I can definitely smell oud here but it’s not a bad news.it’s our reminds me oud in “lancome oud bouquet”which is to die for.
Amber,oud,a hint of leather and I can also feel something like benzoin and sandalwood and a very light touch of spicy florals(a very light saffron-rose)and a soft dash of powder blend together to create this warm,cozy,smooth,delicious,rich and sophisticated scent.it’s yummy in an oriental,grownup way and is really unisex
That tiny amount lasted on my skin for a long time but I can’t comment on it’s sillage yet
I liked Royal amber very much and it’s very price-worthy
Welcome to my wishlist dear

This is a softer scent than its siblings “Oud & Rose”, “Noble Wood” and “Royal Edition”. If you want a perfume to enjoy for yourself without setting the whole neighbourhood on fire, this is the one. It is soft, but rich and deep. There is more going on than just amber and leather, there is oud too, but there are more secret ingredients. The word is rich. Rich as in warm and enveloping, but also as in sophisticated. Just try it yourself if you have a chance. Lovely bottle too, by the way…
zardon – :
typical oud+amber smell. poor longevity
proXAZA – :
remind me of Zara Ambre Noble
but this is smoother, more creamy in my nose.
while ambre noble is more rough, more sweetness and almost cloying.
if you on the budget, you can take Ambre Noble, simply it has better price and Longetivity.
but, if you want the more sophisticated luxury vibe, go for this one. for me, the notable different is the quality ingredients used. ambre noble is a bit screechy and rough for me.
Scent: 8.5
Longetivity: 8.5 (7hrs) AN is better on longetivity
Projection: 9 (3hrs+)
Sillage: 9.5 (almost fill the room!)
alesandrwolf – :
This came across as a rather mild scent on my skin. Very little longevity and poor projection. Was expecting more after reading the reviews.
Safronishe – :
Parfum qui a une particularité d’être oriental et a la fois occidental
une projection modérer avec une longévité trop bonne
son coté ambré est vraiment royal comme son nom l’indique, l’autre face du cuir le rend plus coriace
la bouteille est tout simplement magnifique

@JeffreyHan: At the time I posted, the exchange rate (to $) of my country was phenomenally high! However, there’s good news. For almost 10 weeks now, my local currency has gained against the dollar! “Royal Amber” currently retails between $70 to $85! What a massive fall of the dollar!
With these positive developments, I’m definitely picking “Oud & Rose”, “Noble Wood” and of course “Royal Amber”!
Kikusik.kiki – :
@Mr Cornells, may i know, where does it sell at $318?
because i think it’s way overprice.
i paid only around $70 (in Indonesia)
even on retail only around $100s
anker1965 – :
Walked into a friend’s posh shop sometime in October 2016 and spotted this frag selling at $318 (converted in my currency)! I got really curious and decided to spritz the tester on my wrist. It was a well blended and olfactorily dulcent mix of floral/woody facets of rose, amber, agarwood (oud), and patchouli. This was first impressions. I look forward to buying a full bottle in few weeks!
ilyshin – :
Thank you, misstral, for the additional info. Something tells me that this is going to be the redesigned black S.T. Oud trilogy, only hopefully available for western market. That would be awesome, cause the black collection was awesome!
tusShoste – :
Very strange?!! This one is allready in production, I have it from tha first months of 2016…this is perfect oriental composition with enormous longevity…
Here, the pyramid of notes is very poor…S.T. Dupont enriched it with tartness of lemon, aromatic mint and violet leaves in top notes. The heart of the composition provides aromatic breezes of lavender and sage, enhanced with woody, masculine accords of sandalwood and cedar surrounded with moss.
Top notes: lavender and sage
Heart notes: sandalwood and cedar
Base notes: Lemon, mint and wood moss
