|  Smoky, carnal, captivating and compelling. It speaks to a primitive part of the brain, in a very persuasive language. 20 February 2009 |

|  To smell Madini's Ambergris is to never want to be without it. A resinous, dark, rich scent that is sensuous in ways that other scents can't touch. 09 February 2009 |

|  This one has me captivated as well. Begins with a brief, medicinal funk, then gently expands and sweetens to a smoky, resinous personal fire that warms me whenever I lift my wrist to my nose. I won't be without it, especially on these chilly dark days. 10 December 2008 |

|  The main component of this perfume is a particularly dark labdanum (also known as amber, or the resin of the rock rose plant.) It is a big, raw fragrance. It knocks on the door. You answer. Standing there is Youth Dew's foreign cousin. She is covered in a burka, and she smells like an Arbian bazaar. Ambargris is deeply spicy, resinously woody, syrupy sweet, and smoky, too. The scent is far more exotic than her American counsin's cinnamon and patchouli. You want to see her face, which is concealed by black fabric. She comes in, carrying big leather carpet bags and sits on a cushion on the floor. Finally, she unveils, and you can see a resemblance to her half-sisters, Serge Lutens Amber Sultan and Arabie. She unpacks a box of spices and dried fruit. She lights chunks of incense on top of charcoal in a brazier. That is the impression that this perfume gives, sweet, syrupy, fruity, smoky amber. 27 June 2008 |

|  Ok dark molasses with musk and ceder and of course amber. Very tenacious, dark, deep, somewhat roasty, pretty complexed for an amber. I personally would say more amber then ambergris, but non the less a rich sensual frag,that most people adore. 13 June 2008 |

|  I wasn't impressed, at application. It seemed both too sweet and harshly medicinal. But, HOLEY-MOLEY! This is either the Holy Grail, or close to it! Imagine sitting next to a camp fire, at the beach. The night is chilly, but the fire is warm. You've scented yourself with amber, under your warm sweater. Meanwhile, your sweater has soaked up the comforting fragrance of the wood smoke and glowing embers. THAT'S what Madini Ambergris smells like! Delicious wood smoke over smooth and sensuous amber. I had had a bottle that I hadn't touched. I finally tried it, yesterday. A couple of hours later, I ordered a big bottle-- n the catastrophic event that this might ever be discontinued. No WONDER this is A best seller! Those who have no experience with Madini need to be careful of deciding "yea" or "nay" on early unfoldment. Madini fragrances tend to open slowly, and become more and more beautiful over a slightly longer time than most. Sillage and last are superior. And, it only taks a drop! 13 May 2008 |
