perfume incredible lasting power.

Can DrSmellThis
comment on this? Since he was the original poster?
I was interested in Amouage Gold until I saw this - did they
change to synthetics or are they still truely using real animal fixatives like musk and just covering their ass?
Seems unlikely...
Still seems weird for them to be using synthetic ambergris - when as far as I can tell their is
no international restrictions on the import and export of Ambergris - especially when it is certified “flotte” -
from floating.
