Asmar is the dusty scentof earth and sun, tanned skin and sand. It is a scent of amber, strong yet delicate due to its warm notes. Notes: bergamot, white honey, roasted coffee, amber cigar, grape marc, amber, tobacco leaf, suede, musk and vanilla. Dorian Gray meets Scheherazade ...
It is available as Eau Fine (EDP) and Nektar Parfum (perfume extract). Asmar was launched in 2010. The nose behind this fragrance is Stephane Humbert Lucas.
I can't tell that it's so great, like it should be with its really great ingredients. It's just sweet, heavy and VERY EXPENSIVE one (€175 for only 30ml perfume spray). So, you'd better try it before you place your order. I couldn't find it in Bologna (Italy), so I've ordered it from net, just because I like the declared ingredients. I don't know how someone can find any roasted coffe, or bergamot or anything else in this creation, it smells just like rancid apple pie.
To tell you the truth, I tried to use my Molecule 01 like a basic fragrance to "repair" my Asmar of So Oud. Imput Molecule 01 as a base of Asmar just 10 minutes before I'm wearing the last one. This way Asmar, wich I don't like itself, becomes a miracle of niche perfumery.
It could be a really good idea to add some Iso E Super to this fragrance to make it more masculine.
Asmar is a really nice gourmandy scent. If you like honey-sweet (and equally delicious) perfume you should give this one a try.
I ordered a decant because I was quite curious about the scent.
Rightly so as most astonishing here is the coffee aroma which really struck me right after applying Asmar onto my wrist. Hmmm....it is well-blended and fits nicely into all the other fine ingredients.
Strong scent with lots of sillage, quite long-lasting and absolutely extra-ordinaire !
You sit in a cosy warm café, having a fine little espresso and devour a wonderfully sweet and creamy piece of cake or a Danish :-) All this you will find in Asmar. Oriental sexiness included.
Ambery, warm, slightly malty and honey-dipped coffee...oh, it is good !
However, the price is less favourable - the Eau Fine (which I tried with my decant) is in the same price range as the Tom Ford Private Blends or Armani Privé for example...just to give you a hint. The nectar version is even more expensive (guess how much but sit down before you find out *g*).
But it must be said this fragrance is really pleasant and innovative. I am thinking about getting a bottle.
Edit Aug.26,2011 :
Have just received my bottle Eau Fine of Asmar. Still very nice, very remarkable. Gourmand-y as with my first skin test.
