What wearers say
“Spicy, woody amber opening. Rich balsams, a touch of vanillic sweetness, the faintest glimmer of animalic undertones. Ylang-ylang adds a yellow floral touch after a few minutes, then it's linear. Moderately strong projection for 2-3hr, limping through a fourth hour, longevity 9-11hr.”
“High-class, powdery warm vanilla, not masculine, a bit boring to me.Not worth the money.- i stand corrected. after 20 hours & 1 shower, it smells like granny sweat....- after 40 hours & 3 showers, I still smell it on my wrist... but, at last, the bad smell is mostly gone- 5 days have passed and I still got some faint stench on my wrist... I this thing safe at all?”
“This is in the same family as MFK Grand Soir. This however is a vanillic ambergris instead of a labdanum amber.Amber Star is more skanky sexy. Grand Soir seems more crowd pleasing and Amber Star is more dark and mysterious. Both are really nice and tomorrow I might try layering my samples. That might extend the longevity of Amber Star and make it worth the $700 price tag.”
