My least favorite was Amber Precieux - it has a weird butter note that was distracting.

+1 for Real Patchouly. Disregard the name!

LOL! Believe me, it does get better once you get your head around the herbaceous aspect. My main problem with it is that it's very thin for an EDP.

Thin? This thing threw me to the ground and started kicking me in the face!

post #257 of 360
Not very easy to do; but if I had to choose three at this moment:

Amber Absolute (easily the best amber I have ever experienced)

Ambre Russe

Ambre Noir ( Sonoma Scent Studio)



Ambre Sultan? Too herbal...... smells like a spice rack dipped in amber
post #258 of 360
Prada Man is the only really Amber centric on my list...I could learn to really love this...
Habit Rouge, so complex and well blended that the individual notes of amber work more in the ensemble...A classic
Caron Pour Un Homme is mainly a Lavender Vanilla frag, but the Amber does wonderful things in the heavenly drydown....Another Classic and my current Signature...

Like you i dislike sweetened ambers.
Thats why i suggest Ambre Sultan, Mitzah, Amber Absolute and my ultra amber reference * takes deep breath * Versilia Vintage Ambra Mediterranea by Profumi del Forte
post #261 of 360
Ambre Russe
post #262 of 360
Blue Amber
Ambre Precieux
Ambre Narguile
post #263 of 360
L'air du desert marocain and Ambre Narguile are my favorites of what I've tried. Just please, keep Amber Sultan away from me, it ruined amber for a while...
post #264 of 360
Attrape Coeur & L'Air du Desert Marocain
post #265 of 360
I'm a sucker for ambers but if I'd have to choose just one I'd probably go for Ambre Precieux...or Versilia Vintage Ambra Mediterranea
post #266 of 360
Versilia Vintage Ambra Mediterrenea, most definitely.
post #267 of 360
Please comment on projection a d longevity cheers
post #268 of 360
One I like is Ambre Precieux by MPG - good longevity and projection on me.
post #269 of 360
Tom Ford Amber Absolute...10 hours longevity on me and average projection.
post #270 of 360
Ambre Russe by Parfum d'Empire - A relished journey, this well crafted and refined composition has very good longevity and projection.
post #271 of 360
prada amber intense..not many men amber out there..
post #272 of 360
I will second the Amber Absolute. I get around 8-10 hrs. Strong projection for the fist 6 hours or so. Gorgeous incense/amber.
post #273 of 360
hdP Ambre 114 - I get about seven hours from it and the projection is average.
post #274 of 360
All of the above are good.

Amber Sultan too. Also Mitzah and Extreme Amber but my reference عنبر is Versilia Vintage Ambra Mediterrenea - Profumi del Forte. Embracing and glowing.
post #275 of 360
For me its Ambre Sultan from SL. A loud herbal smack at opening but it quiets down (somewhat) after 30min. or so. The longevity for me is at least 8 to 10hrs. the projection above average.

Cheers Rex
post #276 of 360
Not saying they are the best, but my favorites are:

HdP Abrarem
L'Air du desert Marocain
MPG Ambre Precieux

All of the above lasts 8+ hours and have above average projection.
post #277 of 360
Azzaro PH - great longevity, up to 8-10 hours

post #281 of 360
My favorite amber is Les Nombres d'Or Ambre by Mona di Orio. It has above average projection and superb longevity. The thing I like most about it is it is not sickeningly sweet like most ambers are. The dry-down is out of this world incredible. A hidden gem to be sure.

The first runner-up is Ambre 114 by Histoire de Parfums, followed by the very different but equally superb Ambre Sultan and Versilia Vintage Ambra.
post #282 of 360
I have about 8 ambers I still need to try so I won't pick a favorite, but is anyone familiar with Etro's Ambra?
post #283 of 360
New York Amber by Bond No.9.....Longevity is not a problem.....Gary
post #284 of 360
L'ombre Fauve is a good animalic amber.

I really should have asked for a sample of this and some Mona di Orio's with my Turtle Vetiver Front order at Luckyscent...

I have this often overlooked fragrance and like it quite a lot, but the amber is not the biggest player in this. Amber is there with a lot of other things, very nice. Also Amber Sultan and for a darker edge, By Kilian Amber Oud.
post #288 of 360
PdE Ambre Russe.

Tsk tsk tsk shame on you! Not only are you in the US, you are in the same state as LuckyScent.
Its an ordeal for me to order perfumes/samples from LS but it should be a breeze for you.

Order it now!
post #290 of 360
One more for HdP Ambre 114.
post #291 of 360
I really enjoy Tom Ford Amber Absolute, it has a fantastic balance of incense and amber. Try Profumum Ambra Aurea if you want just a pure amber.
post #292 of 360
i tried and really enjoyed ambre soie by armani.. but i ve been told that projection and duration are really poor with this one.. plus its very pricy
post #293 of 360
Ambre Sultan.
I like the amber base of Alien.

+1, only I get 24 hours longevity and excellent projection for the duration. To me, this is a 'dirty' amber. I remember reading a review that said this smells like dirt; I sort of know where the reviewer is coming from, but it's a very authentic, unashamed amber. Quite linear but if you like amber, this won't bother you.
post #295 of 360
I really enjoy amber, when it's done right that is.

The discontinued, but wonderful, Gucci Pour Homme I.

All day and then some.
post #296 of 360
Ambre Précieux.
post #297 of 360
The best one hasn't been mentioned yet: Armani Privé - Ambre orient
post #298 of 360
Amber Absolute; excellent projection and longevity.
post #299 of 360
amber absolute all the way!
and sorry to say this but Versilia Vintage Ambra Mediterranea TO ME of course, smells so shrill and full of synthetics. I tried it from 2 different samples with the same result everytime >>> Chemical bomb!
post #300 of 360
TF Amber Absolute
SL Ambre Sultan
