Eventually I could test Voile d'Ambre in one of the left store in a shopping mall! I had high expectations about this... I really expected an enveloping scarf of raw but sweet amber... too high expectations! Voile d'Ambre is a very pleasant ambery scent with a good staying power, poor sillage and a lovely smell altogether, quite monodimensional, reminiscent of my beloved L'Eau d'Ambre, something I would wear very easily and enjoy it, still not HG!
Strangely enough the note pyramid on the bottle showed no amber! I thought it a mistake in Fragrantica site!
Well, it smells like amber or anything we think amber is.
This could be worn alone or as a lovely base for light florals. I think it matches well with YR Rose Absolu.
Price for EdP is not so cheap! When I'll finish my L'Eau d'ambre I will probably buy this one.

Well I don't mind admitting I am a HUGE fan of this, and yet have been [usually] disappointed with most Yves Rocher fragrances. Voile d'Ambre, for me, is an amazing perfume for the money. In a blind test, you could have told me this cost 3 times the actual price and I wouldn't have blinked.

The mandarin leaf and cardamom really stand out in the top notes and stop this being a dusty, fusty sort of amber with a one-note hit which induces nothing more than ennui. A lovely, warm and inviting drydown with a dark vanilla & sandalwood ending that just lasts and lasts.

I can honestly say I have never had more complimets from men than when wearing this one. Last year, when I wore this quite a lot, I was stopped 3 times in one day alone by men asking what lovely perfume I was wearing, or simply commenting "Mmmmm, you smell gorgeous!"

I fell out of love with it a little, through overuse I think. However, I have recently re-purchased a bottle and am very glad I did. At first I thought I'd made a mistake, but after a few minutes I felt like I was being welcomed back into the arms of a first love.

As mentioned, it starts on an embarrassing amount of sillage, but calms down with time. It strikes me as a rather fruity amber to start off with, something sweetly orange-zesty going on in the top. Later on, creamy woods take over, but it retains that orangy sweet glow throughout. Nice, but ultimately unremarkable, really - and too sweet and heavy in many situations.

I had been determined to like it based on the reviews and on a cursory comparison with the other 2 Secrets d'Essences (Iris & Rose), so I bought a 50ml bottle. Mistake. Like tessture, I have problems with it giving me the sniffles and "tasting" it. Apart from that, since buying a bottle, I've found much better representatives of ambery and fruity-woody fragrances; I should have saved my pennies for those. Lesson learned: a good review doth not a wearable fragrance equal.

Review below viewing threshold.
 
Offensive. Heavy. Boring old woman.

On me, this goes on sweet and soft like Hanae Mori, but it ends up mostly sandalwood and patchouli with little else. Last gasp is sharp twangy wood with no amber to speak of.It crawled right up my nose. I ended up scrubbing it off. There are far better orientals than this. Better Ambers, too.

I haven't decided if I like this one or not yet ... I was expecting - what with the name and all - that this would smell like amber, but it doesn't. Not to me - not in the bottle, and not on my skin. It is a sort of "non" scent - it just doesn't have any "oomph," which is what I expect from a perfume like this. Maybe I'll change my mind - but at this point, I'm ambivalent.

Not bad at all, given the bargain price and the trend for "amber perfumes".
Not the work of a genius, but pleasant and long-lasting. So much better than other "Amber" fragrances which are more expensive and tell the same story for twice the price!

I like Voile D'Ambre and I don't find it heavy at all. I think even young girls may use this scent. You shouldn't bathe in it, for sure, because it might be a lil strong at first but when the top notes go away you're surrounded by a wonderful smell. It was an award winning fragrance in 2007.

I tried on a sample...I imagined it to be mature and too serious. It acctually had a sweet and fun note. It stays on for a long time. It's not for me though.
10/15/08 07:07:45
to tell the truth, this one is the best of best perfumes I have ever had :) especially for winter... strong, outstanding, but warm and cosy.

Couldn't make it to the end... It was so strong I just had to go wash it off. It was way way too loud.

Smells beautiful but isn't for me, I dont' do well with orientals. If I did I would wear this I have liked it on other people.

Like rebella wrote, it is a real 'knockout' perfume (very strong by first impression). But it kind of settles down after a couple of hours to a pleasant and sophisticated scent. In my opinion this is a fragrance for strong women who want to be noticed.

It's the first oriental perfume that I actually like.
08/17/08 03:02:53
It is very, very strong in the beginning. But after about an hour or two the basenot is very pleasant. It stays on very long, so when I use it I put it on at least a cupple of hour before I intend it to work (like for an party). I think a shy girl/women (or a man) could be knocked out by this perfume, use with caution.
