LM Parfums
AMBRE MUSCADIN
It's interesting to see that people have compared this to Shalimar because it was the first perfume I thought of as well. This is like a stripped-down version of Shalimar. Take away the citrus top notes and amp it up with a bunch of benzoin and voila!
At first I was less than thrilled. It smelled like scents I don't care for, namely a strong rubber-like black leather and coconut. However it mellowed out nicely (and quickly) into an amber/vanilla combo. Still with leather. I'm not getting any sort of animalic musk at all, nothing like Musc Ravageur or Muscs Kublai Khan.
Sillage is not huge, but very comfortable and polite. The drydown is really nice, basically a dark amber perfume with hints of black leather and vanilla. I see it as having a bit of a gothic vibe.
I love it because I just do...but it's not what I view as groundbreaking or anything to get overly excited about. I will hold onto the full bottle for at least the cooler months.
