All invited *** Sniff 'n' Speak Saturday, Oct. 6, 2012 *** AMBER!

[Evangeline]

^They really did! I wouldn't wear much of either especially when pairing them, but that was a smoldering and sexy combination that I definitely plan to wear again. I like how Kiehl's Musk plays with amber perfumes in general, and also vanillas ...it may sound frightful, but it's amazing with Dior Addict.

[Guest 3]

Evangeline, I love Kiehl's musk. I can definitely see it giving a sexy, animalic base to a lot of fragrances. I'm wearing Chantilly over Anne Pliska (or is it Anné?), continuing the amber sniffa into today. AP is still too dense an amber for me, though I like the orange and peppery notes, and the vanilla. Orangey ambery Chantilly works well over it to brighten it up.

I was not able to do the weekend of amber since I was smelling just about everything under the Sun and on my wishlist while in Vegas, but I did two really nice ambers today -- for a SOTD some careful dabs of Mitza from Dior's Collection Privee and for a SOTE a generous spray of Profumi del Forte VV Ambra Mediterranea. I love them both, but they are very different. Fresh, somewhat masculine top notes of AM and a burning woods and ambers drydown are appealing, but I am completely charmed by a definitely feminine and classy Mitza. I need a decant of that one too. But that's me, I haven't met an amber I didn't like.

I missed the amber sniff as well, too bad!

I do very well with amber - my latest love is Ramon Monegal Ambra di Luna.

Hi ladies! I guess we all skipped school for Amber Day, but I am counting my first sniffs of Ambre Nuit and Mitzah on Saturday as partial credit toward this one. And I will try to wear both of them soon!

Red, well, I am a bad girl and am known to be playing hookie every once in a while
But yes, go ahead and try both Ambre Nuit and Mitzah! Mitzah makes me feel divine. It seems like I was born in this fragrance. Ambre Nuit, not so, but Mitzah -- oh yes!

Hello everyone!

Today I am giving full wear to Montale's Blue Amber from sample contributed by a kind friend. For straightforward amber I am quite impressed: it's not cloying, and it's not boring. There is something very Montale in there, maybe a dash of oud? Dry woods and dry vanilla, non-sweet amber...I am quite liking it actually. Not sure why it's called "Blue" though...

[matildaben]

Hey, I didn't even know this was the theme today, and I am wearing Ambre Vie by House of Matriarch. It's an all-natural perfume, a gently glowing amber, neither too vanillic nor too herbal, nicely balanced. It sits close to the skin and radiates softly. Notes are:
TOP NOTES: hiba wood, mimosa, davana
HEART NOTES: frankincense, marigold, vintage broom
BASE NOTES: sandalwood, dragon's blood, ambreine, tobacco

Oh, just noticed the theme was last week.

[Whitefluffy]

TOP NOTES: hiba wood, mimosa, davana
HEART NOTES: frankincense, marigold, vintage broom?
BASE NOTES: sandalwood, dragon's blood, ambreine, tobacco

Vintage broom? I sure wish to know how that smells like

Broom is in Dior Dune but I have no clue what it smells like.
