This amber fragrance smells terribly old fashioned, soapy and powdery. Expected more from Mona di Orio.
The Nombre d'Or is a beautiful line from Mona, and I so far appreciated every scent that came from it. Ambre is a luxurious scent, it smells and feels rich and opulent. It is heavy, but not overpowering, it is spicy, is is woody, it is only slightly sweet. It is one of the scents that is not only there to smell, but also take you on a journey in time and space. I smell it and see so many different things in front of me. It is a well crafted scent with the slightly dirty amber note being its jewel in the crown, the centrepiece for which the other notes create a well blended, exotic background. It makes me think of Ambre Sultan from Serge Lutens a little bit, they both share this dirty amber note. The amber is lovely backed up by a lot of ylang-ylang. You can tell straight away it is good quality stuff here. It is woody with raw sweetness in it. The more I smell it, the more I enjoy it. Some ylang-ylang fragrances turn soapy on me, this one does not. To most amber scents, this is like dark, 90% chocolate to milk chocolate. Refined and elegant.
sontuoso, ricco, caldissimo, questo accordo di ambra parte con note super evanescenti fiorite di ylang ylang. L'assestamento è rapido, meravigliosamente avvolgente e adatto a climi freddi. Le note che si rintracciano sono ovviamente l'ambra, ma anche ambra grigia, qualcosa di affumicato (forse il legno di cedro), insieme a benzoino e tonka (o forse cera d'api?). tra le mie ambre preferite, manca delle note erbacee di ambre sultan, ma rimane una fragranza di altissimo livello. eccellente!
This is NOT amber!!! It's baby powder! Try before you buy! What a shame!
Another approach to amber! More than "simple" ambergrìs: all is added here come to work perfectly! The ingredients, the ingredients, the ingredients.... Always and only the best ones: so great that some times it is impossible for us even to recognize and appreciate them as they deserve. I agree with all your reviews ; ) Long lasting either on the skin or on the paper also. And again I keep on asking to myself why M.lle Mona di Orio's creations have somewhere (outside Europe) been so badly, unwisely and arrogantly ill treated when not openly boycotted!?! Probably noses also can suffer from jet lag.....perhaps.
