A perfume created for a bride... My devotion for the iris note in perfumery always leads me to discover new perfumes and revisit the classics so here I found a true gem from 1977 that are based around the intriguing and always beautiful iris root note. The composition is utterly special but hat makes this perfume truly unique and even more special is because it's Ramon's first personalized perfume and he made it for the a bride who is his wife today. Used in perfumery as far back as 1480 to scent linen, orris is a mysterious and irreplaceable ingredient. Harvested from the root of Iris Pallida, orris is nearly odorless until if undergoes a few years of maturation. Once orris is distilled to become orris butter, a semi-solid essential oil, the aroma attracts many in different ways. Depending on how it's interpreted in a perfume, it can smell like anything from sweet to woody to powdery. But indisputably, it's one of the rarest and finest ingredients in the olfacti...

Perfect contrasts dancing in an harmoniously perfection "Distinguished and resplendent, Ambar del Sur will stand the test of time as the art and culture of al-Andalus."   Reminiscent of a time when royalty scented hair with luscious musks, the scent of amber hung in the air, and courtyards burst with flowers and romance. Ambar del Sur is an aromatic tribute to al-Andalus of the past. Vanilla, tonka bean, and ambergris are a hedonistic blend that lingers on the skin.     NOTES Bergamot, Jasmine, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Amber, Myrrh, Labdanum, Haba Tonka, Vanilla.     REVIEW Perfume of ambery nuances thanks to a very beautiful and precious labdanum note combined with a buttery texture vanilla, semi-sweet myrrh and creamy tonka beans. The center stage is starring by a very sophisticated and classy patchouli note with an amazing twist at the base to pair the dark, earthy profile of the patchouli with the resinous attributes of the labdanum ...

Fresh, green, aromatic, creamy, something sweet, woody, super mature, elegant and versatile   When the Master Daniel Josier told me to be patient with Kaleidoscope and that it was very special, I didn't imagine that it'd be as special as this perfume has turned out to be for me, but in a good way. Super aromatic opening with a mint and eucalyptus totally three-dimensional and hyper-realistic. Immediately a pine note very well executed and a heavy dose of lavender is perceived. The spectacular cedar and other noble woods is the next thing that is perceived. I find a certain creaminess provided by a cypress very wrapped in sandalwood. It's a super realistic forest smell. At the base a light and balsamic incense next to a very hidden oud culminate and round this jewel. It is fresh, it is green, it is aromatic, it is creamy, something sweet, woody, super mature, elegant and versatile. Long lasting longevity with heavy to moderate sillage. Notes: Mint, Green Tea, Eucalyptu...
