![]() In the dry down of Rive D’Ambre, the citruses tones down and exposes spicy, menthol-like herbs and the beautiful amber- which mind you, delivers as something extraordinarily high quality. ![]() With its amber colour and sumptuous aroma- it is the perfect ingredient for a cologne reformation.Īs mentioned in my previous review of Neroli Portofino, the amber goes a long way in carrying the longevity of this fragrance. What is particularly interesting to smell in the heart of the mix is the refined note of charred wood and oak casks- A vibrant aged spirit matured in a smokey encasing that is undoubtedly cognac. This amber is sweet, resinous, cozy and warm, but only briefly appears in the opening after you get the citrus medley (or ‘fruit bowl’) of limes, lemon and bergamot- an exquisite set of refreshing light notes. What distinguishes this golden toned EdC from the green and blue tinged ones is certainly the amber (the so called ‘default oriental’ note). Rive D’Ambre opens in an expected fashion and bombastically like all colognes- in which a myriad of citruses and herbs blend to form a revitalizing tonic to the nose. In this fragrance, the amber is bumped up and more upfront you get a sort of cozy, boozy spiciness with the combination of tarragon, mint and of course, amber. Rive D’Ambre is a spicier and more nose tingling version of Portofino. PRECIOUS CITRUS FRUITS – A TALISMAN OF GOOD FORTUNE IN ASIA – ARE BEAUTIFULLY ILLUMINATED BY A WARM AND SEDUCTIVE, AMBER BACKGROUND. RIVE D’AMBRE IS A GOLDEN-TONED EAU DE COLOGNE WITH A VEIL OF COLONIAL ELEGANCE. This time, instead of the Italian riviera we take a subtle, but handsome, journey to the orient. Rive D’Ambre is yet another Tom Ford retake on cologne.
