    Parfum d'Empire is an homage to Tsarist Russia. It has a classical French perfume base plus notes of vodka, champagne, tea, tobacco (to symbolize the lifestyle) and incense (to symbolize the...

    While I like the amber and spice notes, the vodka notes are totally off-putting. They really make me feel sick.

    Notes: vodka, rum, incense, coriander, cinnamon, vanilla, tea, amber, honey and leather. This fragrance opens with sweet aroma of resins and spices. Amber and leather accords are at the base of...

    Well this is a nice sticky amber, very warm, very beautiful. I'd like to give it 5 stars but I've just smelled other perfumes that take the same notes and give them a better presentation. It...

    Total Holy Grail amber. Starts off with a magnificently boozy blast of vodka, but it's the smell you get when you're pouring yourself a top-shelf shot like Finlandia or Grey Goose, not the stale...

    Have you ever been stuck in an elevator with an alcoholic who's been on a three-day bender? With that sweating-the-alcohol-out-through every-available-pore? This is strikingly similar. Vodka,...

    HG amber for me. Everyone has said it all here. Wonderful boozy opening and it stays dark throughout development; long lasting, too. Love the faint leathery tobacco note along with all the spicy...

    I'll tell you right off the top, if you're looking for a coy, girly-type amber scent, this is NOT it. Mixtachic wrote a good review that pretty much sums it up. Amber Russe has the guts that I...

    Ambre Russe is old school, old fashioned, timeless oriental. Reminds me of walking into a library-lounge or hall of faculty offices at an old university, with the scent of amber, pipe tobacco,...

    This is a nice amber scent with a rum note seamlessly woven throughout. It is smoother, less harsh than many other perfumes with amber as a key player. But it also is not terribly unique, by which...

    I'm not good at defining and describing notes; this is a spicy amber with a touch of spirits (vodka? rum?) for me. I also have amber by L'occitane, but it is too sweet. Ambre Russe is not...

    I couldn't seem to get warm today so I resurrected a tried and dismissed sample of Ambre Russe -- it's just what I needed. I get (sadly) none of the early vodka and champagne notes, just an initial...

    That wonderful boozy beginning it probably the reason I prefer this to the other ambers I've tried. While others, even the the SL Ambre Sultan, can get a little boring and one-note, this one...

    This is my HG amber. Warm and rich, it starts with a subtle champagne and vodka notes, then deepens and warms. I get tea, honey, leather, and tobacco notes - it's not sweet at all on me. Lasts...

    This reminds me along the same lines as Renee Musk (which has been compared to Musc Ravegeur). A very cologne type fragrance wonderful to wear in the heat.

    Please read my update, as I did change my opinion of this perfume over time. (Winter, 2011) <br><br> I really thought that I was going to like Ambre Russe from the reviews I'd read, and the notes...

    This is one of my HG scents. At the beginning, there's definite vodka and champagne, interesting and unusual but not amazing. What happens after it wears off (and it does wear off quickly) is...

    With notes like the ones listed below, I was so intrigued that I had to try it. Ambre Russe is a heavy spicy, honied fragrance with a deep overlay of amber and incense. It is a heady fragrance and...
