Youth-Dew Amber Nude

Reminds me of original youth dew mixed with sahara noir! I get a lot of sandalwood on my skin. For sillage the original youth dew is the way!

Divine, lightly sweet warm amber with polished wooden furniture, good old work. Perfect for cold winter nights. It's like sitting at a fireplace in dark quiet room, drinking hot bitter orange tea, outside is howling snow storm, but you are nice and warm. Cozy, kind of Christmas scent. Cognac, ginger, orange skin, amber, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, fermented fruit, dark chocolate, coke:) YUM .

Not much to add, BUT: No one noticed? Youth Dew Amber Nude is VERY similar to Amouage Lyric Woman. Or the latter is similar to the first, I think YD was launched in 2005. 6 common notes: ginger, cinnamon, jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose, sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver. The result is amazing! If I were to choose, I'd go for Lyric. It's deeper, even more rosy, longer lasting. And has a incense note which I love.

A little goes a long, long, long, way, and it's for the adventurous. Apart from Clinique Aromatics Elixir, this is the scent that gets the most notice, as in: "Oh, my God, what are you wearing?" I think Tom Ford has the rare ability of capturing the essence of the sex in a bottle, and if you can't spend a fortune on his 'private blends,' and I can't, this is the next best thing. It's fall-winter, dark, moody, musky, smoky, sandalwood-referenced, wildflowers past peak, with a hint of cedar dry, heading into burning leaves, clove, ginger, cardamon, nutmeg, like a Thanksgiving dinner indulgence with a secret assignation that follows. An epicurean's delight, it's at turns herbaceous then, musky, and it has to be an ostracized outsider among the other cheap drugstore acquisitions. If you spray it on paper, you get a whiff of peppermint and rubbing alcohol and you're in the medical clinic and so you move on. Which is understandable, but a mistake. On the skin, with time to develop, and I imagine it is different on everyone who wears it, beyond the cedar, clove, ginger, pepper, you also get sweet female animalic musk, tea with lemon, and rich amber. It lasts forever; sillage for days. Enjoy it...sparingly, and with someone very special.

Just got my long-awaited bottle of this totally sealed and unused and at first wrist spray i thought "What the....? Have I been sold an old fragrance?" I wanted so much to believe in everything good I had heard about it but I just felt dissappointed wtih the first notes. It did mellow into a warm incense smell after about 1/2 an hour and I decided to spray it on and go to the cafeteria to see its effect. No-one commented. Hmmm. If you don't know a fragrance how do you know if its still good or not? I'm going to give it a few days and try again. I really want it to be good. 2weeks later and I'm loving it. I know what to expect when I spray it on and am basking in its warmth and yes, sexiness. On the days I wear it , I dress for it and with Autumn coming in this is becoming my favourite fragrance.
