The collection Les Orientaistes brings three oriental fragrances inspired by the 19th century painting that presents the beauty rithuals in harems.

The oriental notes that Annick Goutal presents in this trio are amber, myrrh and frankincense.

The first one is Ambre Fétiche (Amber-Fetish), with the notes of amber, frankincense, labdanum, stirax, benzoin, iris absolute, vanilla and Russian leather.

It comes as a three-bottles collection in a leather case, that hides the three fragrances – amber (Ambre Fetiche), frankincense (Encens Flamboyant), and myrrh (Myrrhe Ardente). Each bottle contains 50ml EDP and each of them will be available separately in 100ml bottles.

The whole collection was created in cooperation between Camille Goutal and perfumer Isabelle Doyen, in 2007.

PERFUME QUE HACE HONOR A LA COLECCIÓN A LA QUE PERTENECE: "ORIENTE", AUNQUE BIEN PUDIERA RECORDAR A CUALQUIER PAIS DEL NORTE DE AFRICA; A MÍ EN CONCRETO, MARRUECOS.
LA EXPLOSIÓN INICAL DE ESPECIAS TE PUEDE DESCOLOCAR UN POCO, QUIZÁS DEMASIADO FUERTE, PERO PASADOS 4 Ó 5 MINUTOS SE CONVIERTE EN UN AROMA GOLOSO QUE GUSTA Y MUCHO A LOS QUE ESTÁN A TU ALREDEDOR.
AUNQUE COMERCIALMENTE ES UNISEX NO LO IMAGINO EN UNA MUJER.
POR OTRO LADO, LA DURABILIDAD ES EXCELENTE, NO COMO OCURRE EN OTROS PERFUME DE LA MISMA COLECCIÓN COMO MYRRHE ARDENTE, QUE TIENE UNA PERDURABILIDAD MUY BAJA PARA TRATARSE DE UN EDP.

As with some other Goutal scents that I've tried, Ambre Fetiche seems a little weak compared to its cousins from other perfume houses. It starts off as a typical "amber" note that's fuzzy around the edges, as if it were wrapped in a light, off-white, woolly scarf. Maybe that's due to the leather and/or iris accord that was used. After an hour or so the rough edges wear down to a nice, amber scent, not too strong, and not very long-lasting. I think that within a few hours the scent was mostly gone. I didn't detect much incense, nor was there much in the way of lingering base notes. I'm used to bigger, bolder amber scents, and was surprised by the delicacy of this one. It would probably a good place to start exploration of amber, but will not make my top favorites list.

Intenso y evocador,como debe ser el buen perfume.Aunque la salida pueda asustar,al tiempo, permanece cerca de la piel,no es un perfume invasivo.Es un perfume de ritual,suntuoso y de buena permanencia.Recomiendo a personas de extrema sensualidad.

This is a dream scent. I wanted for a long time to find something with russian leather in it. I beleive this accord and the labdanum give the perfume a "status". If you don't want to prevail yourself from the pleasure to wear this at the office, you should be careful regarding the quantity. It's heavy, heady, brings to mind a church's atmosfere, it's perfect for the autumne. I don't detect the iris, 'cause it's mostly an incense perfume. Impossible to pass unnoticed, i 've never smelled something similar in perfume industry before. It's a cherrished frag from those you keep like a tresure wearing them drop by drop wanting them not to end.

Much as I love amber and leather scents, Amber Fetiche is a bit TOO heavy for me - the incencey richness a bit too thick. It stopped my husband mid sentence to remark "WHAT on earth IS that??" none too favorably! However
it's staying power is exteme as the fragrance itself - I am still ambery after 18 hours! Perhaps I am just accustomed to Goutal's beautiful florals but AF is one I am glad to have tried but will not buy. Very unique and requires utter confidence to pull off!

The perfume I would classify as the best insence & amber combination. The opening is powerful as amber explodes in softness, thickness, intensivity. It is like sticking hands into honeyed amber and feeling its richness on your skin, smell, feelings. Soon enough comes the strong, smoky inscense that is blending well with ambery sweetness and quiets it down. The insence to my nose is followed by leather and it keeps staying sweet leathery insence. The dry down is least ambery and mostly I can smeel leather on my skin.
Who said its masculine? :) I find it at least unisex and every woman who likes the different amber, or maybe different leather, or maybe different insence should give it a go. I love all the three so it makes it one of the top perfumes that I adore :)

Ambre Fétiche opens with a brief bitter medicinal note, then becomes intense, slightly gourmand, spicy, resinous or an oriental amber , the amber is the star, supported by resinous frankincense. this fragrance has the most beautiful drydown -an exquisite soft benzoin and styrax trail. the labdanum and leather notes add a touch of muskiness that evokes ancient tinctures

one magnifies work with the amber note, it is worthwhile a lot to prove!

A rich, thick incense fragrance. It has the sharp edge of a woody incense and a rich edge of resinous rock incense. Dries down to amber with smoked, burnt cork notes with vanilla and a faint version of that sharp woody edge. Very nice incense perfume, and not your usual heavily oriental amber. I love this one for it's uniqueness: An amber that doesn't cloy or droop under a load of suffocating florals. Neither does it have that slight sweat edge many ambers develop on my skin. This could be worn with red velvet or black leather with equal ease. Attitude a must.

Ambre Fetiche is oriental fragrance which would suit, from my point of view, more men than women. This fragrance is rich and mysterious, yet not too much heavy. The picture of a warrior arises in my mind. The warrior who is entering the old dark castle, opening heavy wooden doors, holding the sword in his hand. Candles are burning everywhere...The smell of leather, wood and inscences, lingering scent of iris flowers from outside of the castle that wind brings through the openned door, making the air fresh...The warrior is musculine, sexy and strong, but he's on the good side, his eyes are bright and loving. And so is the fragrance. What a kissable perfume!...;)
