Geisha Amber Rouge
Aroma M (2011)

Exotic-smelling amber. Dark. Buzzy. Rich wood resins, which are dark too. The cinnamon and clove are at once spicy, then they seem to morph into a separate, wispy layer. Anise is blended in nicely.

This does seem to have two layers even after time. It's lightly sweet one moment - light, woody amber, the next. The whole thing merges into one big, amber delight. I love it!

4.5 stars.

Like Geisha Rouge, l find the opening of this has a slightly "off" note, but is far less medicinal. The cinnamon is combined here with amber & clove, drying down to a lightly spiced honey base. This one is an oil, & has a much richer, denser texture than the Geisha Rouge which l sampled in the EDP concentration. lt stays close to the skin, but is more tenacious, fading at around seven hours.
l like this one, but for some reason l find myself wanting a candle that smells of this, rather than needing to smell it on myself.
