Baldessarini Ambré (2007)
by Baldessarini

The combination of apple and dry flowers let us thinking a touch about Boss Bottled but just for a while, too much creamy and dusty this beast to be compared to the previous Boss. On the contrary the milky and boozy  uber synthetic dust of whisky, leather, tobacco, amber and fruits reports us a lot to the spicy, milky, leathery and fruity One Million' s notorious accord. A generic fruit from the "era moderna".

Generic. An average (leaning to the low quality) amber fragrance of little interest. The apple note emphasizes the metallic aspect of the main ingredient adding a sort of "oxdized effect" that's firmly unpleasant to my nose. The whole composition is surrounded by the typical Hugo Boss generic and synthetic signature (Boss Bottled anyone?). Meh!

"Seperates the men from the Boys" ambre truly holds this caption. It is a Class perfume, mysterious and unique. An excellent blend of smoky apple, whisky, tobacco and laeather notes.
It is for mature age group and can be used as a formal wear for particcular ocassions.
It has got nice sillage and good longevity too!
Wonderful and heavy bottle, truly compliments the perfume. I like to smell it again and again.
I like to rate it 8.5 out of 10.

Don't really like the opening, but the drydown is beautiful and it consists of a smooth leather and amber combination which is just beautiful.

Really love this one, and a huge compliment getter.


Starts off heavy masculine and smoky, then dries, and ends up a subtle and dark kind of ambre and leather mix. Very smooth, very deep, good for a dark suit in cold weather.


Its not boring, it is what it is, its heavy and upfront, not overly complex, my wife and pretty much any woman who has smelled this has loved it and I get asked more about this one than any other one I own.

Masculine fragrances don't get any more boring than this. There's certainly amber in this, and that's all I smell. Amber is boring anyway, but this fragrance contains what smells like the cheapest quality amber they could find. This is a totally dull, linear, one-dimensional snoozefest. All I smell is sweet, sweet and more sweet, with no other notes or facets to enjoy. You could acheive the same effect by wearing a scented hair oil like American Crew. This makes Old Spice smell daring.

The only positive thing I can say about Ambre is that it does not smell disgusting.

MY RATING: 3/10
