Help required from the Noses in the Know

Hi everybody

I would like your recommendations of a few frags please. Im looking for a frag that contains the following combination of notes:

boozy(rum cognac etc.)
amber
cloves
incense or any variation

The only other qualification is that I prefer non-sweet scents.
To let you know, I have tried Washington Tremlett -Clove Absolute. It was too subtle. I'm always looking for something unique.

Thank you for your help.

Cheers Rex

Ambre Russe - Parfum D'Empire
If you're willing to forget the cloves, this scent is perfect for you.

Lubin Idole is boozy and has ambers. But I don't remember much cloves (though I don't own it).

If I remember correctly, the Carons used to have plenty of cloves. I hope our Caronian Larimar will chime in with suggestions (Poivre? Parfum Sacre?). In any case, for Caron it will have to be the expensive parfum concentration.

First thank you for your suggestions. First, Montale Full incense goes on my list to sample. I have tried both the original Idole and EDP. They are both beautiful scents. I am going to look into the two Carons that you mentioned Cacio.

I completely forgot how good Ambre Russe was, the kickass opening is great. I will have to get more.
Thanks forfreddie
Cheers Rex
