Alambar

I smell orange, clove, a bit cinnamon on a very light amber base, which is not not dark or resinous, but more clean and sweet. More like a room scent for me. The dry down gets even soapy. Some ambers can bring me a headache, Alambar has this potential. Amber perfumes are really the hardest: To find your personal favourite can be a real pain. The best I found is L'Occitane Amber, so that you know, what my personal preference in amber is and you can decide, if my opinion is of any interest to you.

Amber, Cinnamon, cacao....and then vanilla...to me it immediately sweeps me away to somewhere exotic and dark-ish without being cloying or heavy or super dense, or brassy....blended beautifully, it's just right, just enough of spice for me...Okay, it may be evocative of older classic fragrances in the dry down but nope, not a one-note performance, still exotic and evocative for me and now I'm getting the creaminess another review mentioned and frankly a smoky vibe as well. Really like it.

I see no one mention this but this smells like sweet vermouth to me. I don't think this fragrance is boozy but I think the vanille provides such a sweetness to the amber and cacao that by some coincidence it smell like a sip direct cheap sweet vermouth. And its for that reason I'll be getting it soon.

I got a sample of this and yes it is only amber with a little hint of cacao. I usually don't like perfumes that smells to much of amber but this one, hmmm I don't know.....no it is to much amber.

Alambar is a beautiful amber fragrance! Not as intense as some other amber fragrances I've tried. Soft spicy, cinnamon and light cocoa stands out the most. Very cozy and delicious, super wearable, feminine, mild and very well rounded.
