Huitieme Art Ambre Ceruleen EDP Perfume Review

Date: 2011.09.21 | Category: fragrance | Tags: amber,Huitieme Art,niche perfume,perfume review,powdery fragrance

I’ve been playing around with the Huitieme Art review and I admit that I haven’t tried them all yet, but I have worn Ambre Céruléen and here’s what I think.

Ambre Céruléen opens as a sweet resinous mix. It’s distinctively opopanax with amber. And it’s powdery in a resinous way. And then what I started to like starts to go astray. I get soapy wet wipes. And it continues to get powdery and powdery. And eventually, it turns into Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder. And if you sniff hard enough, you might get some ground clove. But, overall it’s clean powder. So much powder…

On a day of wearing this one, a friend asked me if I was carrying a diaper bag Yeah, I could see that. This is like baby soap, lotion and powder. The bonus for this fragrance is that it is incredibly long-wearing. Unfortunately, I don’t want to smell like this.

Notes listed include opoponax, fève tonka, sandalwood and Moroccan verbena. PERFUMER – Pierre Guillaume

Give Ambre Ceruleen a try if you like powdery fragrances. It’s one of the cleanest powdery fragrances that I have ever worn. And of course, try it if you like amber…powdery amber.

An 1.7 oz bottle of Huitieme Art Ambre Ceruleen retails for $135 and is available at LuckyScent.

Victoria’s Final EauPINON – A SUPER powdery, clean amber. This is a very 1 dimensional fragrance that I didn’t enjoy wearing. Very, very boring.

agree with this…

interestingly I think the current formulation of Shalimar EDP tends to do diaper bag on me too.

huge tragedy.

  Yeah, I think that the new Shalimar does go diaper bag too. I like powdery but it’s difficult for me to NOT associate it with cheaper, functional fragrances.

I ended up passing on this line. Initially I was interested in trying them, but lost interest. This sounded like the best one to me, now I’m totally not going to bother.

  I’m not “giving up” on the line, but I wouldn’t go out of my way either. Personally, I don’t think of any of the others will appeal to you. Just say’n

    You understand my tastes probably better than anyone else, so I’ll skip ‘em for now.

“Are you carrying a diaper bag?” might be the biggest insult I can image for a perfume. Ouch! I have tried several from this line, including this one, and my favorite so far is Manguier Métisse. Have you tried it?

  At first, I thought it was an attack of my giant purse (that I’ve been carrying for 2 years BTW)…anyways, they were like “no, the smell, it smells just like wet wipes and baby powder. So, yeah.
  
  I have tried Manguier Metisse and I like it and there are 2 more that I like. I’m not giving up on the line. I wish they didn’t release this one. I’m hoping it’s the weakest link.

I haven’t tried anything from this line. I like my amber’s diirty… So not sure this would be for me.

  I’m with you. I love a diirrty amber. The clean ones, well, I don’t see the point.
