sfonativeboy

I have been waiting for my bottle from Luckyscent.com.. and it finally arrived..
Yes ... Vodka and Champagne are the effervescent top notes to hit me ..
then there is...
a dark tea that takes over ....
it's the honeyed amber/ incense /leather base that remains
on my skin that I find sooo Enchanting.
This fragrance ...has subtle nuances to delight you...

A top notch Fragrance ...
very Elegant and Sophisticated...
it doesn't scream..
"Smell me .. I'm Rich!"

A person wears it .. not for others to declare how amazingly classy you are ..
but you wear it for yourself..
because you know you are Elegant and Sophisticated .. and yes .. quite possibly RICH.

VERY strong this one. And that says a lot coming from me because I find most scents a bit too subtle. Longevity and Silliage are fantastic, but it is way too strong for me. And all I smell is pure Amber and nothing else. Cant see myself getting into this one

se inicia con una explosion alcoholica de ron y vodka junto a un efecto burbujeante, me imagino que de champagne.Las especias y el humo de cigarros puros hacen el resto.Lo recomiendo a sibaritas y gentes mundanas.

I've tried a few different Ambers. Prescieux and Extreme for example but this ones the best, it's a homecoming party for people of all ages and sexes, tea, incense, booze and a touch of leather all wrapped in a lovely amber blanket. If you can't be happy in this scent you gotta give up on parties.

Mmmm...quite pleasing to my senses.

I get vodka at full force in the beginning, but quickly moves on to the next few notes---which on ME, is incense mixed with a pinch of coriander. After two minutes or so, I sense a dash of cinnamon mixed in. Then, if you're looking for it, you can smell some honeyed tea and a bit of amber. I don't get any Rum or Leather, but towards the end, I finally get a bit of the vanilla...but just a smudge. The dry down is definitely different from the beginning. Very soft, slightly fruity, but with just a hint of incense. Beautiful. This is exactly the way fine-quality perfumed incense should smell like.

It's been a long time since I wrote a review, but I just one to join the club of liking this amber.
Very fruity amber, but at the same time strong and liqury.

amazing stuff. one of the best frags, if not the best. if Ambre Precieux wouldn't exist, this would be without a doubt the best amber out there*.

somehow I can smell plums in the composition. vanilla is not so prominent as one might anticipate.


* I tried dozens of Amber based fragrances

Ambre Russe is an unusual amber fragrance, an homage to Tsarist Russia.

I get an initial blast of vodka and champagne reinforced by cinnamon and honey. This opening is way too boozy and not pleasant at all for my nose and unfortunately it lasts quite a long. (Only if I could smell the opening notes so long at many other fragrances...)

Sweet and dry accords are playing tag, in the first moment the sweet fruity vodka note (or vodka-soaked dried fruits - it gets sweet enough to cloy) dominates and then dry smoky wood and frankincense notes pop up while tea note peeks through the composition. This tea is an overbrewed strong black tea with a generous amount of honey.
Being a disliker of leather note in fragrances, I'm really glad that there is just a hint of leather underneath.
As the fragrance reaches the drydown it is mostly straightforward amber.

While I can appreciate Ambre Russe, this is far from anything I enjoy wearing as perfume.

This is the most wonderful boozy amber I can think of. A real pick-me-up scent for me even if others may find it cloying. Addictive stuff. The whole range of this brand is quite remarkable, actually. Top-quality, long-lasting and classy.

Edible tea and leather with amber. Vodka and cumin dry off quickly, leaving the boozy notes and settling into almost Adventurer’s Club library stuff, with a strong beeswax base with spices in. Apparently based on Tsarist Russia. Works well as that. Really love this one
