![]() ![]() This Eau de Parfum from an independent luxurious perfume brand based in London, which draws inspiration from the rich and varied heritage of its birthplace in the Sultanate of Oman, offers a sparkling and uplifting floral fragrance with a warm, passionate heart that is, like all Amouage perfumes, uniquely inspiring. I’ve also been using my sample of OJ Orris Noir, which I didn’t think I’d like but I do, I do… it’s great in the cool weather.Amouage Ubar is an oriental floral fragrance for women with accords of fruit and wood. Smells just like the yellow roses of my childhood to me. That one gets dissed for its fruitiness, but I love it. Sunday was hot, and we made it a family day at the ballpark (Single-A minor league, but great fun) I wore my PdRosine Rose d’Ete. Seems like we get one hot sunny day per week, which is freakish, and I’m wearing my darling Le Temps d’une Fete a great deal. As of June 10, we’d already had twice our average monthly rainfall, and it’s been raining since then. May rainfall was 3x normal, and June is shaping up that way as well. We’ve been getting tons of rain here in the Virginia mountains. I haven’t sampled any other Amouages – mostly because of my budget – and although Ubar is gettin’ a lotta love lately, I probably won’t sample it either. Was not a fan of Gold or Dia, but I adore Lyric (bottle split should arrive SOON, squee!!). Is the whole country having like a cloudy/rainy thing, or should I tune into my news? If so, what are you doing fragrancewise to combat it? On the one hand, I’m ready for summer on the other, I still need to get my AC hooked back up (long story, replete with horrible customer service by the contractor who put in my new furnace last year – never use R & L Heating in Denver or ServiceMagice, they both completely suck on making sure the work gets done). It’s allegely almost summer here, but you’d never know it with the daily rain/tornadoes/wind/hail we’ve been having for the last, well, ever. ![]() though Lyric Woman and Homage Attar stole my heart long ago as favorite Amouages, Ubar has a position of deep like. ![]() Getting past that part, it’s got a great floral blend, just enough sharper notes to keep the jasmine from lolling around in its most rotting format. Ubar could be worn about any day, but just realize when you wear it that you are hitting on people without even winking or opening your mouth. Ubar isn’t 5th Avenue and Valentino evening gowns like Gold is. Gold Woman was my first exposure to that full-on elegant whore thing they’ve got going, and it just blew me completely away. ![]() I mean, the civet! Amouage is one of the perfume companies that do skank in the most elegant ways, like Guerlain used to. It goes on bright and crisp, a little milky green, and then it’s like the whole darn flower garden just all bends over at the same time and shows its naughty bits and gigles. If anyone has smelled both and knows, please speak up in comments! Notes of Bergamot, lemon, lily of the valley, damascene rose, jasmine, civet, vanilla make up Ubar. I have no idea whether the new incarnation is different or the same as the old. Ubar had been off the market for a while, recently reissued. Though given the way other perfumes are coming up, they are looking more reasonable than they used to. I’ve become a big fan of the Amouage fragrances, though I’ll never be happy with their price tag. ![]()
