Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
The opening is a dream: crisp green apple and delicious citrus, but then the yellow lemon turns so sour it ruins everything, smelling like lemon juice with pickles and vinegar. It has all the potential to be great, but I wanted the citrus to fade quickly so the apple, jasmine, vanilla, and creamy sandalwood could dominate. I don’t recommend it blindly: poor longevity and that vinegary scent lacks elegance.
Amabile smells fruity and ambered, fresh at first, but then settles into vanilla and patchouli. I don’t like how it evolves into a musk that smells like synthetic candle wax; it clashes and strips away the natural feel, leaving a weird resinous trail until the end. It’s more feminine and suited for mild weather, but there are better options from the brand, so it’s dispensable. Rating: 4/10, tested on an official sample from Twisted Lilly.
It’s a curious scent in the dry-down that reminds me of the ‘Corazón Perfumado’ candies from Mexico. It opens fruity, sweet, and juicy, slightly green from the apple, with fresh cardamom giving it a spicy intensity and citrus that disappears quickly. Then it dries out, almost powdery, which is why I compared it to the candies. The floral notes and fading cardamom create that earthy texture, along with vanilla, all in equal proportions. Over time, a dry wood and supporting cedar emerge. I’m not sure if I’d wear it, but it’s interesting; perfumery is the music of the nose. Good experience, I recommend trying it. The molecules feel natural, without that flat chemical smell found in current designer perfumes.
Hi… My reviews are just my personal take, no fluff or technical jargon. I give my honest opinion on whether it smells good or not. It reminds me of Erba Pura, though I like that one more. AMABILE smells like talc, less loud than Erba Pura, with lower projection. It smells rich and complex, but that earthy aroma is always there. It’s worth it, but don’t buy it blindly if you already use Erba Pura.
I’m very visual when it comes to perfumes; Xerjoff has a beautiful silhouette, velvet, and a striking color that caught my eye. I tried a decant and was pleasantly surprised. On my skin, both the opening and dry-down, the most noticeable thing is the kick of pepper. Tamarind pulp candies come to mind. It’s playful, with shameless elegance, looks great in the heat and during the day.
My favorite fragrance for summer. A fruity scent with exquisite sweetness that can’t be unpleasant. It has good longevity, though the nose gets used to it; it smells so good that the brain accepts it as excellent. Beautiful presentation, very fitting for its contents. Highly recommended.
