Black Amber
7.6Michele Bergman
Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy
Michele Bergman Black Amber is a sweet, gourmand and woody scent built on amber, patchouli and vanilla, made for women and best suited to evenings and the colder months.
Its longevity is rated strong, while its sillage stays moderate. Most voters pick winter and fall, and night out and evening are the occasions named most often. Many call it feminine, though a fair share of voters read it as masculine.
Amber and vanilla lay down a sweet, gourmand base, and patchouli adds an earthy, woody weight to that sweetness. Spicy, resinous and powdery sides come forward, while smoky and leathery touches stay in the background. The whole is warm, dense and oriental in feel. Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan and Hermès L'Ambre des Merveilles have a close profile.
