Still testing samples passed on to me by a generous POLer.
Ambra Neraby Farmacia SS. Annunziata dal 1561 is available at Lucky Scent $160 for 100 ml or $7 for .7 ml.
Notes: cypress, eucalyptus, amber, benzoin, vetiver, vanilla, patchouly
For the past couple of days I've compared this to Patchouli by M. Micallef wearing one on each wrist. Ambra Nera is the softer of the two, but it is also significantly sweeter (today especially.) Generally I get patchouli out of it, but today I am getting lots of amber. I did do a more generous dab than on other days, so that might account for more amber and less patchouli.
If you like amber, you would likely like this. I have trouble wearing some ambers, but this is an amber I can wear. It isn't overpowering. OTOH, I preferred it when I was getting patchouli out of it.
Does that help you or confuse you?
Do you wear this one?
Can you generally wear amber?
