7 UNIQUE AMBER FRAGRANCES - PERFECT FOR WINTER, GLORIOUS IN SUMMER

[@qaidikramuddin]

For me, Ambre Sultan is the best amber perfume ever made. Benzoin on its own is ambery, specifically Siam benzoin.

[@dctrbanner3964]

I was just coming to the comments to say this - I love that fragrance and it layers well with so much.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

How glorious is this perfume! and it's clear that I need to smell Benzoin on its own...I'm sure this would be an awesome experience♥️ There is something soul stirring about a beautiful deep, resinous amber smell....I love it! Great to hear from you @qaidikramuddin, thanks for sharing💫

Hey Marcelo, I talked to the owner of Berlin's niche fragrance store "Parfümsalon" today and told him about you and your channel... When you come to Berlin one day, he will gladly welcome you and friends!

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Boom Baby!! This can only mean one thing.....I need to get on over!!😎✈️ Promise that I will be in Berlin in the near future. No date but I'm a big believer in 'putting it out to the universe' and then sit back and 'let it flow' (mind you with a lot of hard work, but never pretend to be in control; I'll leave that to higher powers) I appreciate you already planting the seed with "Parfümsalon" this will make it easier the day that I reach out and ask if we can use the place as a meet up😉 Thanks again @darth_hansel4466 (if you're ok with this, would love to know your name?)

Marcelo, another brilliant series! Ambers are one of my favorite fragrance notes. Really I’m super proud to always recommend your channel to my friends whom are wanting to learn abit more about niche, cause there’s always something different, informative and super useful and educational on your channel! Super proud to be a member and be part of your community 🥹❤️✨

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

You're one of the OG's Vera😎 and hope you didn't mind the little shout out! I still remember that Grand Soir was your fragrance of choice that you shared with all of us on the inaugural Live International Mate Talk last year Thanks for your constant support👊🏽 very much appreciated Vera♥️

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Aww no, please I’m absolutely honoured that you remembered as well! Always a pleasure to be a part of this and I really can’t wait to finally meet you and as many people in the community especially in Melbourne when I head there again. Would be so so awesome to meet all of you in person to really nerd out about all these amazing fragrances. It’s been an absolutely crazy journey and I can’t wait for more in the future!! 🥹❤️🔥

[@clarencewilliams9432]

I really love how you really break down the fragrance you're talking about. This is a great video. To me, you're a master at taking us on the journey about the fragrance. I'd purchase all the fragrances you are mentioning. Once again, you're masterful. I would like for you to tell us where you wore fragrance. Are you putting your normal 3 sprays on and moving along with life. Are you wearing the fragrance two- three days in a row? Thanks for all you do in telling us about fragrances. You're a master.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Great to hear from you Clarence; thank you for your encouragement and uplifting remarks🙏🏽 ⚡️ I love that these episodes resonate with others, it's fun sharing my love for these beautiful creations. I find that most Amber fragrances have a lot more potency so I never go heavy with the spraying. My ritual always stays the same; meaning 3 sprays on skin to take me through the whole day. With Amber Sultan I do spray 4 times. For me it's a bit much at the start but I've discovered that on this one I need one more spray to take me through the day. As I mentioned even though it's deep, resinous and spicey it's not a big pushing fragrance; but unique to my collection and love wearing it. Whereas Crep Scil is super monster! 2 sprays and I'm done baby!! Hope that helps Clarence, thanks for reaching out mate👊🏽 very much appreciate the support💫

[@stasbryant1879]

Listen man this is hands-down the best fragrance review channel on KZbin. There’s so many factors that go into that as well. From the passion to the actual description editing and visual stimulation. Staying away from the traditional hype, beast, trying to promote certain brand type of nonsense that we see these days. These are almost therapeutic. Happy to see this finally getting traction. Hands-down, the best reviewer in my opinion

Excellent segment on amber Marcelo. You've convinced me to sample Blond Amber for sure. I tried Grand Soir many months ago during an MFK event and enjoyed that one as well. Back in the 80s I used to wear Egyptian amber on it's own, always had a few pieces in this beautiful wooden box. Good work mate!

Hey man, love your videos. Feels like a lot of what I would like to communicate to others when discussing fragrance, you can articulate quite well. Very enjoyable to have this in the back while I work, literally feels like i was just hanging out having a sampling session and hearing their thoughts. You're doing something in this niche that no one else is doing quite like you!

What an amazing, inspired , amber line-up. You definitely piqued my interest in the last two. Indeed, Amber Sultan has now been added to my shopping list. The gem by Christian is now part of a quest merely to see & sniff…I mean , “Wow! Just wow!!”. 👍🏾

You can’t put a price on luxury if you want to be stylish. Go to the very top floor of Harrods Department Store in London, The Perfume houses up there are remarkable.

[@deannstanglenny9431]

Pure class Marcelo. I’ve adored Clive Christians’ Amber wood, but the dry down has a strong oud and doesn’t sit well with my skin, I will try the Blonde Amber and see how that one goes.. Great vid as always 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Always great to hear from you Stani and yes, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on Blonde Amber....if Sandra, Grace my editor (and practically everyone else that I've shown this fragrance too) is anything to go by; I think this might be a winner 💫♥️ Thanks for jumping into the conversation Stani, always love reading your comments👊🏽

[@benlawless1512]

Out of my collection of over 200 fragrances, Blonde Amber is in my top 5. An absolutely divine fragrance that I've never regretted purchasing ($600 AUD for 50ml)

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Boom Baby!!!⚡️♥️ How's that for a solid recommendation😎 Thanks for sharing Ben....appreciate you jumping into the conversation

[@kevintio3067]

Blonde amber is my number #1 wish list. Would you share where did you get it from? Thank you

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

@kevintio3067 I’m based in Australia… So my retailer to go for is Libertine Parfumerie💫♥️ they carry a massive range of niche fragrances from around the world www.libertineparfumerie.com.au/

[@LittleTimmyO]

How would you compare Grand Soir to Blonde Amber? I have GS, but I am considering Blonde Amber; would it be redundant? Or even redundant if I already own Hedonistic?

[@schwarzwaldprinz99]

Xerjoff starlight was a love on the first sniff. It smells exactly like our German Christmas spiced Spekulatius cookies or sugar / chocolate coated gingerbread. Pure Christmas heaven. Also reminds me of our German Christmas markets (fairs). It’s just so spicy and sweet, warm and balsamic

[@TheGamingInvestor]

Beautiful breakdown of these fragrances. I really love the visual touch showing the ingredients. It helps me smell it or imagine the smell haha. Excited for Blonde Amber to arrive 🔥

[@DivineFrag]

Grand Soir is "Amber for babies". It is about as basic as an amber fragrance can come, it's simple & elementary. Not necessarily bad however as it's a worthwhile consideration for somebody starting to dabble in niche. I will accept that Blonde Amber challenge. My biggest issue with Blonde Amber is the inability of reviewers to put proper emphasis on the performance and complexity you would expect from a €550/50ml retail fragrance, because in amber floral terms, you'd expect Oud Satin performance for the price point (and you don't get it). The opening borrows tones from Hedonistic (which is fine), but the drydown I find quite feminine as the amber and tobacco share the floor with the florals, and tuberose is a notoriously feminine floral for my nose. I like Starlight a lot, but I don't think of it as an amber fragrance - it has a sharp spiciness to it with a dominating cardamom note, perhaps more-so resins than amber. Ambre Safrano is not it imo, it borrows tones from other fragrances and makes nothing of it, as drydown is quite synthetic with that leather-sandalwood-rose combination. I haven't smelled the other 3, I think I did smell the Serge Lutens once but it just blended in with the rest of their house that I so far feel underwhelmed by.

[@EdsProlixe]

Was it a recent formulation of Ambre sultan that you tried? The opening used to be very arresting with the aromatic herbs and angelica coming on strong over a dry amber that gradually sweetened (but not all that much) as it developed. Now is a different story, with sweet amber balancing the aromatics at the start. It's pleasant (more palatable to most noses I'd hazard), but not the same. The balance used to be across the development, but now is obvious at first spray.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

As always, love reading your comments @DivineFrag (as my brain plays the scene with J.Jonas reviewing Peter's photo's 😂) I love that you've taken up the 'Blonde Amber' challenge, but I'm putting money down on how this is going to end 😑 Any recommendations of Ambers that you're enjoying? Would either love to test or see if I have in my collection....great to hear from you mate👊🏽

[@DivineFrag]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I don't really have anything that is amber-forward. If I look at the stuff I own, I wouldn't think of any of these as amber fragrances, even if they list it. Alex 2, Nefs, Starlight, Tero, Astaral, Empiryan, Via Cavour I... none of these are really amber fragrances.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

@DivineFrag awesome lineup though😎💫

[@LittleTimmyO]

Lol Grand Soir isn’t Amber for babies.

[@thebeardedperfumeaddict]

Immortelle by Manos Gerakinis also belongs in the "divine" category, imho! Great one, Marcelo--- love all your alternative recommendations!

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

As always Athanasios, thank you for reaching out and connecting👊🏽 I 100% support your recommendation to place Immortelle in the 'divine' category😇 In truth I place a lot of Mano's fragrance's in this category....he owns a number of really exceptional fragrances Great to hear from you my friend💫

[@ile_klikow]

When you smell into it, the grand soir has an earthy, soil like tone in the base. To me, in the top and mid it’s also somewhat boozy in a way it’s not alcoholic or woody, more like cognac. It’s also creamy and tobacco-ey

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Love your description Seuni....and yes, I can detect that very thing. It does have a slight booziness to it...I really think that vanilla and amber accord that Francis has created is divine💫 Thanks for reaching out and sharing @ile_klikow, awesome to hear from you

[@TommoC123]

I had to pause so i could spray Grand Soir so i could watch this episode. Love a good amber. I didn't know Petit Matin was a sibling of that fragrance, might have to add to my Christmas list for Santa, thanks. I'm fortunate enough to have RD Sweetie Aoud in my collection. A beautiful and complex gourmand amber fragrance, just love it, but for special occasions only. That last bottle of yours - Epic ! 🙌

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Congratulations to you Thomas for having Sweetie Aoud in your collection🥰 I really need to add this one and Amber Aoud to my collection, but boy oh boy do I have to save up those dollars! Good for you mate! Hopefully Santa reads your letter and you're fortunate to receive Petit Matin...glorious for our coming summer! Did you see how low the juice was in the bottle?

Great video again Marcelo! I love ambers, and you're completely right about the evocative imagery of a warm, protective hug. I didn't know that it was purely a fantasy note, that's why I love your videos; the history behind each note is always so fun to learn. In terms of other amber fragrances I love: Ambra Aurea frm Profumma Roma and Le Lion from Chanel, are two I'd include! It's hard to find, but I have got to try Crep Scil as soon as I can. Provenzo is a legend, and one of my favorite fragrances ever is one of his creations: Persephone's Patchouli from Electimuss. Hope you are well marcelo, and looking forward to the next video :)

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Always a treat to hear from Mr Bond😎 and I'm glad that you enjoyed this line up (there were so many more but I don't want to create a 2 hour production😑) I'm familiar with Le Lion and yes awesome fragrance. You're now the second person recommending Ambra Aurea so clearly I need to up my game and get on this! Thanks again for reaching out @JamesBond-qt7th awesome to hear from you

[@BarberNoseBest]

Celo one fine fellow! What’s good brother. It’s been a while since I’ve popped my head in. The algorithm knows when Amber comes up you BETTER alert me. I couldn’t wait to watch. My number one Amber right now is Profumum Roma Ambra Aurea. My top right now include Tauer 02, 40 knots, Grand Soir, Ambre Sultan, Chergui, Nishane Ambra Calabria Just or name a few. Dope video as always. Thank you for this brother

Pleased by the Petit Matin love shown here, fantastic scent, agreed that it doesn’t get discussed enough, possibly as the attention for fresh MFKs gets sucked up by the oversized aqua range

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Yep, it's funny that it's become a 'poor cousin' to the Aqua range when in my opinion it's one of the big hitters in the MFK line up! BTW I alway film any new perfume purchase straight away and then just put the footage in a video library for the day that I need to use the shot; however I forgot to do this with Petit Matin and everyone in my family hits this fragrance hard! As you could tell from the b-roll shot that had so much missing from the bottle (which incidentally was giving me major OCD😵‍💫😂...but I had no choice but to use the shot!)

Thank you so much, Marcello. Really lovely and detailed description of the fragrances. (Add to growing list of "to get fragrances") When you mentioned the spices in the notes, I thought (for some reason) of fennel. When I cook, I use spices on a regular basis. And I find the sweet smell of fennel seeds amazing. Would you know of fragrances that carry that nuance and aroma of fennel seeds? And if so, could you do a video on this subject? Take care.

@The Niche Fragrance Collector Tnx for the great review. I have one question and one suggestion. First, what do you think for night out which one is more sexy for men Blonde Amber or C Woody leather from CC house? And suggestion is you should try Puredistance Black. So elegant amber, rich, misterious...

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Awesome to hear from you Stefan and thank you for your recommendation...I just had a look and we don't have a retailer in Australia that I can test...there's an online store, but I'm not a fan of blind buying. However I promise that I will eventually get around to checking this one out! In my opinion I would lead with Blonde Amber on a first date. Everything about the scent profile to this fragrance is appealing, inviting, warm, seducing, calming. I really love C Masculine but I personally wouldn't wear it on a first date. I find that 'Leather' fragrance's come across as very assertive and C Masculine is a beast in this space. But this is my thoughts only. Good luck @stefanbanovic! I'll be curious to know what you decide in the end💫

[@gerardzonjee]

In this genre Amber Absolute would be my number one, Au Coeur du Désert number two. And I really should get Ambre Sultan, my decant was emptied many moons ago. I like your 50 ml bottle a lot and wish it was available in shops. 100 ml would last two lifetimes…

Great to hear from you Gerard and love your recommendations. I haven't tested Amber Absolute but yes to Au Coeur du Désert....this one is glorious♥️ The Ambre Sultan bottle is the in store Limited Edition that I picked up at the Serge Lutens boutique on the recent France Tour and I have this awesome photo of it, taken by someone on on that tour😉 Hoping you're well mate, thanks for jumping into the conversation👊🏽

Profumum Roma Ambra Aurea in one of the best straight amber fragrances ive tried

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

This is one that I'm not familiar with; but will need to correct, next time I'm in Rome!! Thanks Ben

[@NiKoJlaY]

I have only MFK Grand Soir from this list, I can't say it's my favorite fragrance, but it's really nice, I also think that Amouage Material that I bought for my mam , has some strong amber accord as well.

[@andremerritt2670]

Awesome line up. Profumum Roma Ambra Aurea is one that you should definitely try. One of the best ambers I've tried

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Thank you Andre for adding another vote to Profumum Roma Ambra Aurea; it's clear that this is a big hitter with everyone♥️

[@razvanyke]

Nice background, looks like a lot of effort went there to make it. Appreciated

[@onestyle760]

Your line up is spectacular and Blonde Amber is on my to buy list. Currently I'm loving Moresque Soul Batik from my ambers.

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Moresque is a brand that I need to explore more....mission for 2024! Thank you for the recommendation @onestyle760

[@maisali3152]

I'm so inspired by this video. Love Amber, the only one I sampled of these is grand soir and it's my favourite offering from MFK. I'm really keen on the rest especially blonde Amber. Sounds divine. Have you tried ambra by jeroboam? One of my favourite

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Awesome to connect and I'm so happy that you enjoyed this episode....amber fragrance's are the best🥰 Wait till you try Blonde Amber!!

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Great to hear from you Vasyl and 100M% YES to Amber Aoud🥰 One day I hope to own this one (really gotta save up those dollars!) I had a sample of this and it was my prized possession....glorious, heavenly scent♥️ Have you had a chance to test this as yet Vasyl?

[@vasylshyyka1820]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector yes, I did test it already several times. This perfume is so luxury and you can’t wear it every day. You have to wear it in some special moments … I would say three notes very dominant in this well blended composition. Rose + Oud + Amber awesome combo. There is so many notes perfectly balanced each other (Saffran, Fig, Ambergris, Birch …) and you can feel quality of this natural ingredients. Good longevity, sillage is moderate. Very special and spectacular perfume

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

I love ambers in the colder months and I am feeling validated that 3 of the ambers I own have made up into this list: grand soir, ambre premier and Starlight. Since I keep in great consideration your opinion , I was curious to know your thoughts about a recent purchase I have made, Ambre 114 by Histoires de Parfums: is it an easy wearable amber? I find it perfect for holiday season, but I am intrest to know what you think about! Is it a little bit to spiced or dense in your opinion?

Hey Marcelo. I must say your words are poetic when it comes to perfumery. Absolutely brilliant with your descriptions. I recently purchased X masculine by Clive christian, but after watching this I'm starting to wish I had bought blonde amber instead. What do you think about both scents? Do you recommend I should get blonde amber as well? Or is x masculine enough?

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Thank you Danny, what an awesome comment to read!💫 So glad that you enjoyed this episode. The problem is you're asking the wrong person about buying another fragrance😉...my short answer is always going to be 'yes' 😎 But in all seriousness; there is a massive difference between X Masculine and Blonde Amber. I consider X as one of my all time favourite winter fragrance. It's incredible and to make matters more complicated for you, check out this episode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5bUdZp7qdJneck Blonde Amber is an all year round classic that is glorious. It's a marked difference to X and will compliment your fragrance wardrobe perfectly. Hopefully I answered your question but have a feeling I didn't make it easier 🙄....thanks again for reaching out Danny, awesome to connect

[@dannykable1651]

@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Thanks for the reply! Yes, both are undeniably great fragrances and a blessing to have in a collection. And after reading your reply I'm convinced to buy blonde amber even more. However I also really like E gourmande oriental from the private line. And knowing it's going to be discontinued I know I have to get my hands on it. So the real question is... blonde amber or E gourmande? I have smelled both and they just make me feel euphoric. I'm asking you since you have a nose most people dream to have. Which one is the better fragrance overall?

[@catporter8417]

Wow what a lineup is right. I have Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan and yes it's bold and it has been a journey, as I believe these perfumes are meant to be. I find the oregano note a bit too much, too in my face for my liking, ( could you fade now, please? lol) but I appreciate this journey, I really do.

[@TheTopNote]

I’m really curious about this new Salas range. I picked up a bottle of a Salas fragrance in about 2018 from someone who travelled to the Middle East regularly (I have to assume they picked it up during their travels). It’s one of my favourite tobacco amber fragrances, but at the time they had no online presence at all and I was never able to find out anything about them! So many great ones in here, Ambre Sultan is one of the pinnacle ambers in my wardrobe.

[@aliaslan.]

I expected Masque Milano Tango to be on this list, Marcelo. Great choices though, man.😊

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Yes, Tango is another amazing fragrance that can easily be on this list! Thank you for putting it forward Ali👊🏽💫

[@Twinnzllc]

Naxos or blonde Amber? Which one do you prefer?

[@LittleTimmyO]

Grand Soir is on another level

[@Principemostprincipe]

Unreal review, well done. But you have to put another one on the list and that is Rosendo Mateu 5. Btw on me, grand soir last way longer than ambre saffrano

[@TheNicheFragranceCollector]

Awesome to hear from you Filip💫 and I do love how our body chemistry plays a major role in these beautiful fragrances And totally agree that Rosendo 5 belongs in this category! I don’t actually own this fragrance, I have a sample of it and absolutely adore it… It’s clear that I need to do an amber 2.0 episode to include all these other beautiful and fragrances.😎

Have you smelled Ambre des abysses from Houbigant? I bought it this week in a small perfumerie in Hamburg and it blew my mind

I have many Ambers in my collection. My favorite hands down is Tauer L'air du Desert Morocain. Have you tried it?

[@cuchanu]

I made the mistake of asking for a sample of blonde Amber when I bought bought a different perfume. I kind of have a rule about how much I'm willing to spend on fragrances per ml, because above a certain amount you could get two bottles of something less expensive that is equally as good. But I had to break my rule for blonde Amber. I even only really tested it on paper but I got some overspray on my fingers and I've been enjoying it for 2 hours just off of that.

[@craigmarshman8333]

Interesting that Grand Soir knocks you around @larryasiedu7704 and great point from you @DrTorquemada (thanks for sharing that Ed) As a possible alternative, I would test out Ambre Premiere by Jovoy. I find that it's a very close cousin to Grand Soir when it comes to it's Amber dry down; just has a unique opening with the sugary citrus (plus there's also some spice's on that top note too)....plus the pricing is significantly better😉 Good luck with that Larry💫
