Pierre Guillaume Paris Peau d'Ambre 28 Perfume Review

Pierre Guillaume Paris Peau d'Ambre 28 Perfume Review

Pierre Guillaume Paris Peau d’Ambre 28 Eau de Parfum is a sumptuously sweet, balsamic mix of resins, pine, and incense. It’s a warm, resinous amber with hints of smoky incense and well-worn leather. All the notes blended exceptionally well together in a way that made it hard to tell which was most responsible for the effects. The notes are listed as: resins, amber, leather, though the description also calls out frankincense, fir balsam, opoponax, and benzoin.

  • top notes:
  • heart notes:
  • base notes:

It opened with rich, spiced resins–balsamic, thick, and heady–that oozed against a backdrop of pine. The intensity of the spice and the pine amped up noticeably after 10 minutes. I was surprised at how richly sweet everything was; more of a resinous, deep sweetness rather than pure sugar. It had a sweeter, more vanillic quality to its opening than many other amber-driven scents I’ve tried in the past.

There was no mistaking this for anything other than a heavily spiced, amber and benzoin bomb with pine in the background, and it stayed this way for four hours.
When it shifted, the woodiness came through more significantly, and the sweetness turned creamier, milkier, and lightly spiced with more noticeable vanilla. The drydown was barely-spiced vanilla-amber.

Application

For testing, I used 1/3 of a 1ml sample vial dabbed to the underside and topside of my wrist area on my left arm. I used an unscented moisturizer prior to applying the scent as this is also my swatching arm (aka, incredibly parched at any given moment) as I found scent did not hold well here otherwise. 

Longevity

It lasted for seven hours until it was a skin-scent and about 10 hours before it was quite difficult to detect on my skin. The sillage was moderate, while the initial projection was quite heavy, and it dropped to a few inches above my skin after four hours of wear.

Personal Thoughts

It’s a beautiful amber fragrance and well worth a sampling if you haven’t yet found your perfect amber scent. Right now, I’m more enamored with other ambers I’ve tried recently as well as some fragrances I already own that this isn’t something I’m racing out to buy. I’ve set aside the sample to revisit later, though.

Available Sizes

  • 50ml for $120
  • 0.7ml sample for $4

ColourPop That's Taupe Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

That's Taupe Colour Pop That’s Taupe 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($14.00 for 0.30 oz.) is a new, nine-pan palette that is taupe-themed. It includes five matte eyeshadows, three shimmer eyeshadows, and one Super Shock Shadow (Slated). The matte eyeshadows were fairly smooth and velvety, blendable, and easy to work with, while the shimmers were so-so. I found the shimmers to be drier and more prone to fallout and lacking shine unless applied with a dampened brush (which wasn’t always the case with ColourPop’s shimmer formula).

ColourPop Wine & Only Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Wine and Only ColourPop Wine and Only 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($14.00 for 0.36 oz.) is the newest release–and I think one of the last of the year–that includes a mix of shimmers and matte shades in a wine-inspired color story. The mattes were nicer than the shimmers, on the whole, though Grapeful has a ton of sparkle and not much that keeps it bound with the base, so that one had a lot of fallout. The shimmers were decent but did not perform as well as some past shimmers have from the brand. For those keeping count, there are a few Pressed Pigments, which come with the warning that they are not intended for use around the immediate eye area under FDA regulations, though these types of pigments are approved for usage on the eye in areas like the EU.

Fenty Beauty Mauve Wives, Fenty Glow & Honey Waffles Gloss Bomb Creams Reviews & Swatches

Mauve Wives Fenty Beauty Mauve Wives Gloss Bomb Cream ($19.00 for 0.3 oz.) is a muted, medium mauve with subtle, cool undertones and a glossy, cream finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in one layer, which applied evenly and spread easily across my lips, but there was a bit of product that settled into my lip lines–not quite enough to be noticeable from a normal viewing distance. The texture was non-sticky, smooth, and plush without being too thick, though I felt like it was thicker than ideal for building up color as a second layer did feel noticeably thick and heavier. It wore well for four hours and felt moisturizing over time. FURTHER READING : Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).
