Man Amber Halston for men

A potential seductive intoxicant, employ with caution. Perfect for this season; the effect of rain on wet pavement, a fudgicle, a margarita, and oud - expertly blended. Off putting bottle, but best juice for a memorable night. When asked, just say that you just made love inside the Hershey chocolate factory, and didn't shower yet.

the most impressive Halston scent, theyve made. They. went a long way to get this right. And they didn't rush it. Beautiful Cologne...beautiful packaging with that unforgettable bottle. If they accomplished anything besides how good it smells, they brought back a fair amount of class to a 'house' thats taken some hits for lowering their standards and product quality.

no kidding, this is just as impressive as YSL's M7.

I've had a lot of fragrance regrets in my time whether I sold off a big part of my collection, bought something I wish I shouldn't have or traded something I shouldn't have, I'm sure we've been there in one shape or another. I say all that to say that this by far has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me fragrance wise. I received this in a trade and initially I was not impressed but as time went by I became more and more blown away by this gem. It reminds me of all the ingredients for a spectacular dessert but with less than half of the sugar because the other ingredients are so high quality. Go look at your average Hershey chocolate bar's sugar Vs A Green and Black's chocolate bar you'll see a difference right away. This is beautiful juice from top to bottom......

This fragrance is absolutely beautiful.

I feel that amongst the notes voted in that the cedar is very under-represented, and to me seemed rather prominent.

Altogether it smells mostly like cedar and incense, with a dank smell that is actually pleasant if that makes any sense. Though I do not know the scent of agarwood, my assumption would be that that dankness would be that, based on what I've read.

It gives off a very ancient-world feel, that seems to characterize the differing cradles of civilization across the world, in a way. Love it, regardless of any of that.

It is very similar to canali that I used to have it nice and soft amber oud smelk. It got some arabic perfume vibe but without beening too loud.

This is very much underrated, a distinctive trio of myrhh, oud and amber, the oud is not prominent or intense, it just balances out the amber and myrhh, it's very woodsy and masculine, lasts all day on my skin with above average projection.

I was given a sample by a friend and then I realized that it's not available anywhere in the US as it was an exclusive release for Neiman Marcus and Harrods, I checked with NM and they didn't have it stock, they said it proved to be more popular than they anticipated and they were unable to restock. I had to ask a friend to buy me a bottle from Harrods in London and ship it over to the states, it arrived just yesterday!

Must have for amber fans. Opens with this spicey/resinic quality, the oud joins giving it the danky/woody combo then here comes the amber adding sweetness and almost an edible quality..suprisingly it never is overbearing it has a freshness yet a comforting woody distinction. This DESTROYS!!!!! (I know I shouldn't puncuate after a word) Amber Oud by Kilian.. I mean destroys it. Oud lovers who want a level of discreetness will love this. Amber heads like myself this is a buy if you can find, and it also has a femme edge where I don't see this as distinctly masculine. I love this stuff and it is worth it if you can get a 100ml at $100 or less. This is a gentleman's fragrance.

This is my go-to -- masculine, distinctive, woodsy, with that very distinctive amber note running right from top to bottom. Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere anymore! Anyone with info, please leave a message here.

Modern, woody and most assuredly... balmy. First impression is that of Armani Prive Ambre Soie, but far from linear. Halston Amber is not loud, but it is far from quiet. Throughout its transitions, each layer of notes are given abundant time to be vibrant. As we soar deeper into the dry-down the oud begins to cape the fragrance, but domesticated by bergamot and Virginia cedar. Myrhh is raw, but is a team player here. The more the middle and base settles, the more of a Middle Eastern vibe I get... and more is better. Even the bottle looks the part. I'm not a Halston fan, but I'm proud to have this among my collection.

I can't say enough good things about this. It is a wonderful deep dark Oud with a definite medicinal edge, but at the same time a dry alomst gourmandish chocolate aroma, mixed with a wonderful Amber. This beats out Tabacco Vanille for my warm cozy comfort scent on those chilly days. Halston has really done it with this one! I was lucky enough to buy up a bottle lot of this on the cheap, so I have enough to last a lifetime. Wood heads will love this, oud heads will love this, amber heads will love this, and I find the women really love the cocoa edge to this. A winner all around, and is getting a lot of time on my skin this winter! Deep, dark, mysterious and delicious!
WARNING: This juice is not a dry woody mix. The amber+ keeps this fairly dense. It is more on the medicinal woody side. Longevity is 12+ hours on me, but sillage is moderate to less than moderate. Nothing animalic about this fragrance to me.

My first impression; This fragrance starts out a bit too medicinal or herbal to me as I smell tobacco-like note with something green and greasy. I get something leathery too but it never gets smokey nor dry. The oriental aspect shines because of the sweet amber and oud note. It never get spicy however. It's just nice, warm, and rich; kinda heavy and dense feel. It also reminds me a little bit of YSL M7 and M7 Fresh, and then I think of Le Male by JPG as it dries down. The base is really nice too. It's just warm sweet (really) musky with a touch of (cedar) woodiness. Great for a night out or special occasion.

UPDATE: I wanna add that it smells kinda like Encre Noire by Lalique but with sweet amber note. It's quite nice and it's growing on me.

Tried this today @ London's most exclusive department store in London ("Little Egypt") where a very lovely and knowledgeable young lady helped me with this scent.
I have tried the original version a year back but decided against it purely because it was too fresh for a time of year that I wanted something for fall/ winter.

This one might just be the answer as it (after a similarly fresh and pungent spicy start) develops into a seductive, warm, amber-led spicy, woody, herbal, leathery, tobaccoy concotion without the sweetness.

I personally love sweet and heavy orientals for winter but this one is a truly sophisticated alternative for those who want something warm and strong without the sweetness.

Very good fragrance in all aspects and the bottle is simply to die for!

I wonder whether Georg Jensen has had its fingers in the design pot, lol.
