Woman Amber Halston for women

For the first hour this perfume is almost overwhelmingly sweet on my skin, but once the top notes have faded it mellows to a warm, woody, spicy scent. I usually avoid perfumes that contain sandalwood because I find often find that it dominates all other notes, but that's not the case here. Sandalwood is a weighty note and works perfectly against the sweetness here.

My boyfriend adores this perfume and thinks it is very elegant and sophisticated.

It reminds me very much of Hermes' Elixir Des Merveilles, which is a lighter fragrance, but has the same sweetness and warmth at the heart.

I've only just acquired my first bottle of this fragrance, so may well update this review in month or so, but for now it gets the thumbs up from me!

This is a very strange perfume. On me, it smells like a hamster cage, a very animalic scent (due to the unsane amount of amber I guess).

Good news for those who like such frags: Halston Amber has a very good staying power and sillage.

editing: i was browsing through my samples today and sprayed this one on again. maybe i was too harsh writing about the hamster cage but i will not take my words back. What is more, now it gives me a funny WET hamster sensation thanks to the tuberose and aldehydes. There is a possibility I will start to enjoy this "pet" smell)))

In general, this is a very abstract and nondescript piece of perfumer's work. a heady mix it is too...

I am IN LOVE with this fragrance, sweet and spicy and sensual, almost masculine.
I only know of 1 place to purchase and it is approx $150/50ml but I am seriously thinking to take the plunge.
I seem to skip the opening notes and go straight into the middle, a sweet amber and rose opening with spicy musky suede finish.. Oooh so captivating.
Maybe I can settle down and accept my Visit by Azzaro.. we shall see...

truly a KNOCK OUT perfume, very beautiful, very strong, lasting. SPICY , SPICY, SPICY, I got a sample at Neiman's a few weeks ago and the card still smells awesome, this has a true lasting, staying power unlike many NEW perfumes, and this is very very current. kind of like youth dews amber nude, but better.
