    A decant of Black Amber sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Passionfruit with Tiare Flower, which is where the fragrance really shines. Give it a little time and Passionfruit with Tiare Flower comes forward β€” smooth and well done. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

    A decant of Black Amber sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. The drydown leans on Musk plus Vanilla and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. The very first sniff is crisp Mandarin Orange, very much my kind of start. In cooler weather it sits closer to the skin, which I actually prefer here. Easily one of my favourite finds this season.

    I’ve been wearing Black Amber on and off for a few weeks now (2016). Give it a little time and Passionfruit with Tiare Flower comes forward β€” smooth and well done. The base rests on Musk and Vanilla β€” warm, grounded and easy to live with. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.

    Picked up a sample of Black Amber after reading the community buzz (2016). The first minutes are all about Mandarin Orange β€” it grabs attention without being pushy. The base rests on Musk and Vanilla β€” warm, grounded and easy to live with. Projection stays close for the first hour, then becomes a soft, pleasant aura. Worth sampling before committing to a bottle.

    I keep reaching for Black Amber more than I expected to. The base rests on Musk and Vanilla β€” warm, grounded and easy to live with. The heart is the best part for me: Passionfruit and Tiare Flower feel carefully balanced. Performance is consistent: comfortable sillage and several hours of wear on my skin. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

    A friend passed me a decant of Black Amber (2016) and I wasn’t prepared for it. The very first sniff is crisp Mandarin Orange, very much my kind of start. The base rests on Musk and Vanilla β€” warm, grounded and easy to live with. It lasts through a full workday on me, which is exactly what I want. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

    I picked up Black Amber (2016) mostly on a whim, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Give it a little time and Passionfruit with Tiare Flower comes forward β€” smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Passionfruit with Tiare Flower, which is where the fragrance really shines. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.
