What does Al Ambra My Breeze smell like?
My Breeze opens with two flowers and a sweet note: peony, rose and vanilla. Peony is fresh and watery, rose is fuller, and vanilla is rarely listed this high in a pyramid.
The heart is amber, sandalwood and ylang-ylang. Ylang-ylang is a tropical flower with a creamy, slightly banana-like sweetness, and it blends easily into sandalwood, the creamiest of the woods. Amber adds a resinous warmth. The base is brief, musk and soft woods. Every layer has something creamy or soft in it, and creamy is the word the brand itself puts first when it describes the direction of the scent.
What Al Ambra says about My Breeze
The brand calls the style a modern floral amber. It gives no season for My Breeze; the occasions on its page are evenings, special occasions and dinners. The projection is moderate, according to Al Ambra.
Who is Al Ambra My Breeze for?
For women, according to the brand's title for My Breeze. The name suggests something airy, but the notes describe a soft, warm floral: peony and rose with vanilla, then ylang-ylang, sandalwood and amber. Flowers with cream and no sharp edges are what you get. Citrus, green notes and a soapy finish are not on the list. Rose on sandalwood is a pairing many men wear too, so the title need not stop anyone.
Al Ambra My Breeze Eau de Parfum, 100 ml: size and concentration
Like every eau de parfum of the brand, My Breeze is bottled in 100 ml (3.4 fl oz); no 50 ml is listed. Al Ambra puts the oil richness at moderate to high and names the blend style French-inspired. In this guide My Breeze is one of 21 eaux de parfum, next to 28 extraits de parfum.
Al Ambra My Breeze compared with its closest siblings
Rose, amber, sandalwood and musk form a common core in My Breeze and Secret Scent, both listed for women. Secret Scent sharpens it with green apple, bergamot, lemon and patchouli. My Breeze softens it with peony, vanilla and ylang-ylang. So the first is the fresh reading of that core and the second the creamy one. They differ in format too: Secret Scent is a 50 ml extrait, My Breeze a 100 ml eau de parfum.
Shadow of Rose is the same kind of bottle, a 100 ml eau de parfum for women, and it shares rose, ylang-ylang and musk. Its other notes are jasmine, tonka and heliotrope, which lean towards almond and powder. My Breeze has peony, vanilla, amber and sandalwood instead, which lean towards cream and wood. Two soft roses, then, one powdery and one creamy.
On paper, Musk Ambra is what My Breeze would be with its flowers and cream taken out and oud and praline put in. Rose, vanilla and musk stay. Peony, amber, sandalwood and ylang-ylang are found only in My Breeze. Musk Ambra is listed as unisex, My Breeze for women, and both are eaux de parfum in 100 ml. If you do not want oud, My Breeze is the one of the two to choose.
Where to buy Al Ambra My Breeze in Europe
My Breeze cannot be ordered from FragranceGems at the moment. The shop is an independent reseller; it lists four Al Ambra scents and takes suggestions for more through its request page. A suggestion is only that: no order is placed and nothing is agreed. Closest among the four is Dubai Musk, which has the sandalwood and the musk of My Breeze and a flower of its own, magnolia. Black Forest Elixir has the vanilla and the musk but sets them among citrus, white peach and patchouli.
Request My Breeze at FragranceGemsA request is not an order, and it is no promise that the shop will add the scent.
