Warm, creamy and deliciously sweet, Ambre Cashmere Intense is a delectable gourmand that marks a bright new era for Parfums de Nicolai- the first scent created by Patricia de Nicolai in collaboration with her son, Axel. And lovers of the sweet will have ample reason to celebrate the new arrangement, as Ambre Cashmere Intense is a richly sugared lemon-vanilla delight with a heart of sophisticated, buttery iris and a warm amber drydown that has us swooning.

From the beginning, Ambre Cashmere Intense presents itself as more than your average gourmand, with a tingling black pepper leading the way into the sweet, intensely vanillic lemon. A strong dose of iris butter forms a delicately floral richness in the fragrance's heart alongside the dominant vanilla absolute, while a patchouli-inflected amber accord settles in for a long, comforting drydown as cozy as a fragrance named "cashmere" might suggest. Indulgent, mouthwatering and deeply relaxing, Ambre Cashmere Intense is gourmand bliss, on demand.

Nearly all the listed notes are evident upon first application on skin, but the magic is in the full dry down when it fully develops into a cashmere sweater like scent. Very calming and pleasant and well done.

It may just be my decant (I’m a bit behind on my backlog), but this fragrance, though absolutely delicious, didn’t so much unfold on my wrist as fall out of the bottle in a heap. That said, there’s a fabulous snuggly amber in the wreckage, as well as black pepper and a nice creamy lemon. Eventually an iris-inflected vanilla wanders up to establish a little order, installing three competent drydown deputies in benzoin, sandalwood, and tonka, but that opening was surprisingly chaotic.

Loved it. Warm, sweet and rich. Stays on for long time. I personally could still smell it the next day. Would definitely buy it again.

A very good spicy amber vanilla. Just short of great. Either it fades quickly or my nose gets used to it fast-- still, well done!

Amber and wood, but very light and close to the skin on me. Nothing sticks out or distinguishes it, but it's delicious. My guess is a very fine vegan amber accord and a warm, spicy wood scent I'm guessing is cashmeran. Real amber would be heavier and funkier. I bet it warms you like silk long underwear.

At first glance of ingredients it looked like a busy perfume. When I got the sample I was glad I did. I can't tell you the exact notes but I know together its beautiful. The perfume is well done and reminds me of perfumes from Europe I experienced years ago. Silage is perfect for me, its not overwhelming; just people near you can smell it. Its busy as I mentioned but in a good way. It starts out a bit strong but the dry down is well worth waiting for and it stays on clothes a day or two after wear. And also doesn't break the bank.

Meh. I guess “sweet” is relative. I don’t find Ambre Cashmere very sweet at all. On me it is powdery and woodsy from the sandalwood and patchouli. It’s a fine scent that I’m sure a lot of people will like. FWIW, it does not smell or even come close to Isis by Agonist. Isis is a masterpiece, with the sweetness of citrus, peach, and vanilla, and the spiciness of ginger and nutmeg. Ambre Cashmere begins to annoy me after a while, probably because I’m just not a sandalwood or patchouli fan. I’m glad I tested it first and didn’t believe whoever compared it to Isis. No comparison.

I love this perfume. While it doesn't scream of cashmeran (although I suspect there is some in there), it does have a warm, clean, snuggly vibe to it. The amber is the main player here for me, with good support from the vanilla and vanilla-like notes (tonka, benzoin). I do detect some sweet, warm citrus as well, although I wouldn't consider this really "gourmand" compared to many other scents. This perfume has pretty good throw and longevity on me. I think this is a perfect scent for cold winter days.

Light, definitely sweet lemon. He says "I like it. You smell clean." I get what he's saying. Reminds me of upscale bath products. It's something I could wear to a meeting or professionally. Don't see me wearing it out in the evening.

By Laura - Artist from Atlanta on 12/8/2015

This is a beautiful fruity-yet-creamy gourmand, and [to me] smells identical to Agonist Isis. I don't get the powdery cashmere I would have expected from the name, but it is a pretty scent. My boyfriend loves Isis so I expect he will love this one as well. For me, they are both 6.5/10.
