I don't like wearing straight up amber fragrances, I find them somewhat lacking so I like layering them with spicy fragrances or sweeten them up a bit. One fragrance that covers both fronts is Maître Parfumeur et Gantier's Ambre Précieux.
Aedes lists the notes in Ambre Précieux as:
Top: Myrtle, lavender
Middle: amber, vanilla, nutmeg
Bottom: Ambegris, peru balsam, tolu.
This is a sweet amber as the vanilla really makes an impact on this fragrance followed by subtle spices and woods. I LOVE the way this smells, it's really incredible on me. I don't get the other notes listed in this fragrance but don't miss them in anyway.
This is a perfect autumn fragrance that could easily be worn from morning to evening and to a multitude of occasions. This is sold as a masculine fragrance but it isn't really masculine in any way on me. The staying power is incredible and a little goes a long way.
