• Warm & Inviting: L’Artisan Parfumeur L’Eau d’Ambre EDT Spray Review

    Date: 2008.09.22 | Category: fragrance | Tags: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    If you like the warmth and softness of amber scents, you are bound to love L’Artisan Parfumeur L’Eau d’Ambre EDT. It is a simplified amber fragrance. The L’Artisan Parfumeur website says:

    A formula that blends the most precious materials used by perfumers – balm and amber. A soft, rounded, mysterious, Oriental tale from the pages of “A Thousand and One Nights.”

    Amber is just a soft milky amber scent. The initial spritz is a bit sharp because it has geranium in it. This quickly fades and leaves a warm, resiny, incense but not smoky amber, patchouli, and a bit of vanilla mix. It is a lovely fragrance that is warm and inviting. My husband wears amber resin smeared on his skin and this scent reminds me of him. It is very “snuggley”. I used to wear a lot amber scents and amber resin too but I grew out of it. When smelling this again, it reminded me of why I love this intoxicating fragrance. This scent wears closely to the skin like most amber scents. Amber seems to become apart of the skin. It was meant to be worn. What I am surprised about is that this fragrance is long wearing. It is an EDT that lasted on my skin the next day. The blotter card held the scent strongly for a week. It dries down to a pure, rich, succulent amber with a dash of vanilla for softness. Or the “roundness” the company uses to describe it. It is very basic and simple. If you like “oriental” fragrances, you should give this a try. I really like it. Will I purchase it? Most likely no. It is lovely and warm and perfect for autumn but I find that I love my amber resin just as much. (It is a lot cheaper too.) I am impressed that this juice conjures up so much of that rocky, resiny part of amber and not that strange liquid amber that many perfume oils have.

    Notes listed include: geranium, patchouli, vanilla, and amber.

    Give L’Artisan Parfumeur L’Eau d’Ambre EDT a try if you like amber or fragrances like Prada L’Eau Ambree EDP, Donna Karan Cashmere Mist EDP, and/or Avon Tomorrow for Men.

    This product retails for $95 for the 50ml and $135 for the 100ml. It would make a lovely home fragrance since it is so warm, inviting and cozy. You can purchase it at MiN New York or lartisanparfumeur.com.
