Review of Ambre Nuit Eau de Parfum by Yaroslavna Lasytsya

It starts with a spicy note, akin to cardamon - dry and mature. Pepper is there as well, not too loud, adding to the oriental feel of the top. Rose stays hidden for a while, and only a hint of sugar-like sweetness suggests that there is a flower, waiting for the right time to open its petals and bloom. When she finally appears, she is mysterious and an unusual self, as if she is wearing a mask at Venetian Carnival daring you to guess her identity, flirting with your senses and playing hide and seek. This rose, opened by the spices, wrapped in the golden amber is a flower from a different universe altogether. She is neither too sweet nor too obvious, she is not of a common variety, and her name/type is an enigma. She is aristocratic, luxurious and unique. No other rose will feel the same. Amber is like a cloth of gold, with sunshine woven into it. It is smooth and flowing and a perfect partner for the rose. I can also feel the wood completing the composition, a perfect final accord for a fragrance that started with dry spices. The scent does not just "drop off", it is beautifully thought through and put together, like Doga's waltz from "My Sweet and Tender Beast" - an immortal love story in the days long gone by, revived in the brilliant creation of François Demachy
