   |  Notes: Subtle floral notes, pear, apple, ambrette seeds (from luckyscent.com)Ambrette 9 starts vegetal and green, with rooty notes evocative of carrot or iris, violet leaf, and something sweet and fruity. The "something sweet and fruity" turns out to be a note which, simply put, smells like Kool Aid in a generic "red" flavor. Within minutes, the lovely green notes are gone, and the "red" (cherry? strawberry?) persists in a one-note linear composition. A rapid development (under two hours) left me with hardly anything to smell except a very light and soapy white skin-scent musk. I have smelled shampoos with more personality and tenacity. 20 November 2009 |
   |  This came as a complimentary sample from Luckyscent. Maybe that's why i like it so much. I didn't have to pay for it. Yes it's close to the skin and longevity is poor but it is one of those pick-me-up scents that make you feel clean and fresh and happy, like riding on a silver cloud. It has this friuty-floral-tart vibe that is a little feminine but makes you feel cool and easy. I got that vibe from Les Nereides Fleur Poudree de Musc also. Lovely stuff.03 May 2009 |
 | No perceptible odor whatsoever. Am I anosmic, or is this an expensive joke? 23 April 2009 |
   | I really appreciate the interesting ambrette note in Chanel no 18 - a "grown-up" musky and comforting skin scent - but combined with the sweet, slightly "watery", fruit note of pear in this "baby fragrance" I find it downright sickening. And I don't think babies should be perfumed anyway! 17 April 2009 |
 |  Baby fragrance? Kinda pricey stuff considering a baby wouldn't really even enjoy wearing fragrance. Anyways, it opens up on me smelling like Maker's Mark whiskey, kinda a sweet, boozy smell. Then it turns to a sweet fruit smell, like pears. Finally, it smells like whiskey WITH pears. This entire evolution takes about half an hour. After an hour, it's gone. It's actually kinda a nice smell. Longevity is terrible though and there's no siliage. Not that your baby would care. 13 April 2009 |
  | If you like your scent airy watery and clean with no sharpness that will make you sneeze, then Ambrette 9 scent that is suppose to be worn by a baby is right for you. 26 August 2008 |
