La Yuqawam Ambergris Showers

“The opening reminds me of Cartier Declaration essence, and in the development I detect traces of Yang, by Jacques Fath, but darker; the base reminds me of Lalique Encre Noire Sport, with a slightly ashy green leather... What a magnificent fragrance...Longevity: all day long.Sillage: I often get compliments at the end of the day, if you know what I mean.”

“This is similar to Memoir Man by Amouage, except this is not so harsh. Memoir Man is brilliant, but Ambergris Showers is a great substitute and gets compliments. Apart from compliments, it is a great fragrance in itself. In my opinion, it is very underrated, which I believe is because it followed Tobacco Blaze etc.10/10 in my opinion.”

“#396 in my "Tour de Fragrance"I have to concur this smells like the water the celery sticks have been sitting in a few days more than they should have been. It just smells oddly like the produce aisle which I also found to be the case with Memo Paris Irish Leather. Could be the styrax and it's odd balsamic quality that always smells like tomato and celery leaves to me. In any case, a hard pass for me. Nothing I want to smell or smell like.”
