EnVoyage Perfumes Captured in Amber Perfume Extrait Review

Envoyage Captured in Amber

Captured in Amber is a perfume in EnVoyage Perfumes’ Souvenir de Chocolate Trio. This is a scent that is meant to “evoke the Victorian era fetish for the Orient“. And I get that from this sweet, animalic amber that uses materials from around the globe.

Captured in Amber is an amber gourmand. It opens as a rich, sticky honey that is sweet and animalic. It wears as a sweet yet animalic amber with dark, spicy Mexican hot chocolate. The best word to describe this heart is “syrupy”. It’s a rich and sweet amber. The dry-down of Captured in Amber is both sweet and savory. It’s chocolate with a salty ambergris with a hint of patchouli.

A local coffee shop used to do an “amber mocha”. This was a mocha with honey, clove and peru balsam. I’d order it with almond milk. It was rich, but a really great treat to have occasionally. And being a perfume lover, I was delighted to see it on the menu. Captured in Amber reminds me so much of this “amber mocha” I used to order. And this is a wonderful thing. And now I’m craving that mocha now more than ever…

Give Captured in Amber a try if you like sweet amber perfumes or sophisticated gourmands. Or perfumes like Smell Bent Gelty Pleasures, Guerlain Gourmand Coquin, La Via del Profumo Amber Chocolate, Pacifica Mexican Cocoa and/or DSH Perfumes Piment et Chocolat.

Projection is average and longevity is above average in the extrait concentration. It’s also available as an EDP.

Captured in Amber comes in a few concentrations. I’ve reviewed the extrait that retails for $30 at EnVoyage Perfumes. 

Victoria’s Final EauPINIONSweet, spicy and smooth amber. If you like sweet ambers that don’t lean powdery, this is one to try. If you want something that resembles a spiced hot chocolate, this is one to try.
