I have always veered towards, light citrusy, with some amber tones as my favorite scent, but Sel D'ambre took me in another direction. It's complex, lasts hours, and evolves with some of the most unique, and aromatic scents I have ever used. I am a big fan and will graduate from travel to full size. Kudos, this is one amazing cologne.
The scent is a little aggressive and sharp at first, but it mellows out as you wear it. I was impressed with the longevity of the scent throughout the day. I received this product for free from Balmain for testing and review purposes.

The Balmain Sel D'Ambre EDP is one of those fragrance that have the power to instantly captivate you. This scent absolutely gorgeous. The amber note in it is mesmerizing. I love how smoky and woodsy it is. It reminds me faintly of a nice warm fire by the ocean. The sillage and longevity of this fragrance is excellent. This EDP is ideal for cold days and night time. It is so elegant and sophisticated. It is truly a unique scent with a unique blend. I love how it performs on my skin. I have been reaching for it everyday, since I got it. I just can't get enough. It is an intoxicating and sexy scent. I fell in love at first spritz. I received this product for free from Balmain for testing and review purposes.
My partner has been trying out this scent for a few weeks and I love it. It smells masculine and rich. It is long lasting and the scent throws pretty far, so a little goes a long way. I received this product for free from Balmain for testing and review purposes.
I received a sample of this and it's very strong! Too much amber and smokey. One spray will have you thinking you sprayed five. It does have a strong lasting power but it's not for me. Too intense.
I received this product for free from Balmain for testing and review purposes. This is a very interesting scent that's grown on me since first trying it. It's one that I definitely recommend trying on your own skin before purchasing, since it was significantly warmer and sweeter sprayed on the box than on either mine or my boyfriend's skin. Right out the gate after applying, it's more peppery than I expected, though in a subdued way compared to the sharp, assaulting kind of pepper note in a lot of fragrances. By far the most prominent note on the skin is ozone. My boyfriend said it reminded him of old fashioned air purifiers, though in a pleasant nostalgic way. I enjoy ozone scents, but it is quite strong here. The olibanum is clearly present from the start, but it doesn't veer heavily into incense territory, which I appreciate. There's a salty smokiness that resembles clothing left near a campfire and then worn on a cold beach. This fragrance has some spice, but not enough that I would place it in the so-called "oriental" category. After the more spicy, heavy opening, it shifts more towards the orris accord. That's what I presume gives the earthy, slightly powdery floral quality during the middle of the wear. I personally wish it were somewhat less prominent on my own skin, but it's not overwhelming like the powdery florals in many perfumes. After a few hours of wear, this fragrance settles more into the ambery side, with an animalic tint. If I could, I would skew it to favor the sweet amber aspect more than the mineral/floral notes, but that's personal preference. This is a very sophisticated, well balanced scent, that manages to be bold and sexy but not over the top. It gives me the feeling of a subtle warmth in the midst of a cold, atmospheric evening. I think a lot of people will enjoy it.
The scent is rich, warm, strong, captivating, bold, masculine, sexy, confident, and unforgettable. A walk in the room and own it type of fragrance. The amber and musk are apparent and powerful. It is very long lasting. If sprayed on clothing, you'll still smell it on those clothes until wash day. This eau de parfum is made for a strong leader, a provider, a power player, and a lover. I received this product for free from Balmain for testing and review purposes.
I really like the scent of this perfume. The scent lasts a long time and isn't overpowering. I recommend this perfume! I received this product for free from Balmain for testing and review purposes.
I am a gourmand girl through and through. I like amber note though, but this was a bit too strong for me. But people who love darker, alluring fragrances would love this. It also lasts really well, like I could smell it the next few days if I apply it once. I received this product for free from Balmain for testing and review purposes.
