The review

Amber Elixir scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Blonde Amber.

Montagne Parfums sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Blonde Amber's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $45 it costs 89% less than Blonde Amber.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Montagne Parfums publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Clive Christian Blonde Amber is aldehydes, bergamot and spices at first, dried fruits, jasmine and orange blossom at its heart and amber, blonde tobacco and vanilla at the end. Montagne Parfums set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • aldehydes
  • bergamot
  • spices

Heart

  • dried fruits
  • jasmine
  • orange blossom

Base

  • amber
  • blonde tobacco
  • vanilla
Blonde tobacco and dried fruit sunk into amber, opulent and faintly smoky.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
