Blue Amber
by Montale

Enveloping amber note that's a deep blue and blooms into a light blue. Basically a perfect, linear drydown. A great scent but not one I'd wear.

as the name suggest! this one has a note which is quite linear and evokes different shades of Blue. it's has a very use of bourbon the way its used in By Kilian..this ones smooth (like Iris) to the extent of being very fluid in its sillage. it's only in the midnotes that the Patchouli and vetiver adds a sexy bite to the top notes on a base of one of the most beautiful Amber accords ever. this ones easily one of the best amber scents around. only word of caution is that, this may smell pretty linear till midnotes and only during close inspection would one realise the action thats actually taking place. 50 ml would be the best buy so that you dont get bored of it and come back to it in time..

Montale's Blue Amber is beautiful and rich amber scent. The opening starts out very powdery with a hint of citrus, but soon turns into a rich creamy amber with maybe just the slightest hint of vetiver. The dry down gets a little more vetiverine giving the scent a deeper more earthy character but the amber remains in the forefront.

This is powerful stuff. A little dab on my inner elbow that I put on before bed to test Blue Amber's longevity lasted well over 24 hours and before I fell asleep I felt enveloped by the scent, not in an overpowering way but like a cloud of spicy, vanillic goodness surrounded my body. I gave this a full wearing on a cooler evening and it was sublime. I couldn't image wearing this in hot and humid weather; it could very easily become overpowering. However, I think that this will become an integral part of my scent wardrobe come fall and winter.

So I open the envelope were my fragrance was scent... it smelled, well, like amber. Old, aged, vintage amber. Innocently I smell the atomizer, ah! there you are vanilla! Should I? should I spray it on my wrist? So I do. A mushroom cloud is formed where my house used to be. Some people reported that on a radius of 20 km, 60 year old women cried remembering their first love, 40 year old women had mild orgasms. 30 yo were droped to their knees on spasmic nirvana, and the 20 yo gagged and threw up. Some other people said the warm brezee that followed made the man feel more manly and the women more luxurious.

But I wouldn´t know. All I saw and smelled was an old tree rip itself in half and suddenly ignite. Maybe in a gesture of melacholy, maybe in an effort of liberation.

Wow, I really love this one!

I’ve tried many dominant amber scents, in the past, but have always found them to be too resinous and harsh (SL being the worse offender). However, Blue Amber isn’t like that at all (much to my relief). The opening blast is intoxicating and it only gets better. The drydown is creamy and extremely sexy, and it didn’t take me long to deem it as bottle worthy. Sillage and longevity is superb, and I’m now completely in awe with this house. This has to be one of the best releases in recent years - two thumbs up!

oh my. oh my. on a strip, Blue Amber isn't really that exciting, but once it's on my skin i can't get my nose off my wrist. like other reviewers, i can see the similarity between this and the amber L'Artisans. i'm a fan of them as well. however, since many bergamot accords/oils contort on my skin and end up smelling like something is burning, Blue Amber quickly develops an intriguing, subtly fiery base note which lingers underneath the amber and renders the whole concoction terribly sexual. i'm glad i was asked to try it, since it's now as close to a Holy Grail fragrance as i've ever discovered.
