Amber Noir captures the woody, leather-forward character of Santal 33 reasonably well, with a comparable sandalwood-amber base that delivers similar warmth. However, the clone lacks the subtle papyrus and cedar complexity of the original, resulting in a slightly flatter mid-development and less nuanced progression throughout the wear.
The clone simplifies the fragrance pyramid by reducing aromatic complexity, particularly missing the distinctive virginia cedar and papyrus notes that give Santal 33 its refined character. Longevity and sillage are also noticeably softer on Amber Noir compared to the original's impressive projection.

βI'll keep it short: the clearest thing I get from this scent (which i think most people would smell the same) is the smell of freshly cut, spicy wood in a lumber workshop. It smells like that from start to finish. But at the opening, there's also a menthol note like Salonpas that I really donβt like. But after that it smell good. Last long 8hs on skin.β
βIncredible fragrance! I'm not sure what I smell except woods, fig, and powder but that's enough to make it smell so good and classy. Somehow still airy, and almost fresh even though it smells like an old room with lots of wood furniture and leather bound books.Very strong and long lasting, and easy to wear as well for such a beastly scent profile. I say it's all year wearable. This is a decent one for summer if you don't like traditional aquatic and freshies.β
βI just started collecting and when I saw the comment below likening this to Palo Santo from Cremo, which is one of my favorite scents, AND I saw this is an EDP, AND it was available at Marshalls for $50, I bling bought it. Glad I did. Initial spray is a little off-putting but the alcohol smell goes away within a minute or two and what is left is that burnt ember and smokey scent from Palo Santo that I love, but with lasting power and great projection. highly recommend for anyone who prefers more darker, wintery, far east scents.β
