We’ve seen a few amber-focused fragrances surfacing amongst the new releases of late 2011 and early 2012, and that’s fine with me: I’m tired of oud being the “it” note, since I don’t care for it at all, and I usually enjoy some amber in my floral fragrances. Two of the recent arrivals are Aroma M Geisha Amber Rouge, a sister fragrance to the line’s Geisha Rouge, and Atelier Cologne Amber Nue.

For me, L’Ombre dans L’Eau is the perfect balance of floral, berry, and grass notes, with a rosy heart that suits my tastes perfectly.
Creed Fleur de Thé Rose Bulgare. Speaking of roses, this is one of the truest rose fragrances that I’ve ever tried. It can be hard to find, and it’s definitely not cheap, but tester bottles do occasionally surface on online discount sites. It’s a dewy bunch of just-picked pink roses, a few green leaves, and a wisp of lemon peel…

Luckyscent has released Untitled #5, a new fragrance created by AromaM's Maria McElroy:
Maria was inspired by the seasonal treats of Japan, where sweet roasted chestnuts mean it’s fall, and this is definitely autumnal and delicious. But for something based on chestnuts and spiced brandy, it has a surprisingly delicate and classic feel…
