Key Notes of Ambery Cedarwood
What Does Ambery Cedarwood Smell Like
Dossier's Ambery Cedarwood perfume is a nuanced interpretation of Mugler's Alien perfume, with sweet, robust jasmine taking center stage. This essence is surrounded by a pronounced, resinous aroma of amber and a grounding touch of woodsy notes, contributing to an overall impression of warm, sunlit woods dappled with the lush scent of blooming jasmine.
A subtle hint of gourmand is woven into the scent, lending it a modern, non-sugary sweetness that complements the floral and woodsiness without overtaking them. The top notes of mandarin and orange blossom bring a bright, citrusy touch, pulling the scent into a more playful territory. Cardamom adds a spicy undertone that creates a sense of warmth and complexity.
The heart note of jasmine sambac is the star of the show, releasing a deep and vivid floral scent that is tempered by the cedarwood, grounding the fragrance and adding depth. The base notes of heliotrope flower, amber, and vanilla round everything out with a smooth, warm finish. The end result is a scent that feels ethereal yet grounded, capturing the essence of radiant femininity in a bottle. This is not a fragrance that shouts; rather, it whispers its story, inviting those around you to listen.
Review of Ambery Cedarwood
Dossier's Ambery Cedarwood is an affordable, yet notable dupe of the pricier Mugler's Alien perfume. The price is a significant draw, with Ambery Cedarwood available for a modest $29, a fraction of Alien's retail price of $120. For those seeking an affordable alternative, Ambery Cedarwood certainly stands out.
The perfume offers a clear interpretation of Alien's scent profile that will satisfy dedicated fans. The radiant jasmine stands out, delivering a succulent sweetness, which is tamed by a sharp woodsy note and amber, resulting in a scent that's distinctly feminine and mysterious. The perfume manages to replicate the intoxicating, yet subtly unobtrusive scent that Mugler's Alien is beloved for.
While Alien conveys a more confident and forceful femininity, Ambery Cedarwood presents a more subdued, yet still potent, expression of female power. It manages to capture the attraction of the original without overdoing it. However, those seeking the full intensity of Alien might find Ambery Cedarwood a bit lacking in that regard.
The longevity of Ambery Cedarwood is worth mentioning. Despite its relatively lower price, it doesn't compromise on the lifespan of the scent, making it a great choice for those who want a long-lasting perfume at a budget-friendly price.
In conclusion, Dossier's Ambery Cedarwood is a solid choice for fans of Mugler's Alien looking for a more budget-friendly option. It captures the key aspects of Alien's scent profile convincingly, albeit in a somewhat toned-down fashion. The affordability and longevity of the perfume make it a rewarding choice for those seeking value without compromising on quality.
