Le Gemme Ambero

“Testing my sample; this is a spicy and sweet amber, opens rather aromatic and peppery, gets sweeter and muskier as it warms up on the skin. I'm surprised there's not rose listed, I catch hints of it as dries down, but maybe that's the saffron interacting with the other notes.Didn't last too long on my skin, around 4 hrs, it was arms' length projection for the opening then quickly settled into a skin scent.Can be worn all seasons except summer.”

“Simple, bitter with a nice macho vetiver until the end.Unlike other similar ones, here the oliban mixed with ginger makes it wearable even during the less cold seasons.Mature, super spicy, with an elegant aura of saffron and amber tones in the long drydown. Pleasant, versatile, simple.From such an impressive bottle, expectations rise ...”

“Had it since 2017, used it a couple of times during this winter, it is an average performer.It smells high quality balsamic olibanum, very airy and soothing, turn a little bit animalic in dry down but never smokey.Despite of its name I couldn’t detect any amber…Certainly I was out of my mind when I paid $300+ for it, or I’m an olibanum/incense freak.”
