OR Cashmere and OR White (C. Zarokian for Uer Mì, 2017)
That is: amber, on amber and about amber. Amber was my first love, the one that introduced me to artistic perfume, through Etro's Ambra and Ambre by Reminiscence. So a fragrance like OR Cashmere by Uer Mì ( website here ) could only please me, it's everything amber should be: opulent, warm, faceted, dry, spicy, gourmand, absolutely exotic and, together, caressing and reassuring . More than a scent, a self-pampering act of pleasure. It opens with cardamom, cinnamon, thymus and crunchy hazelnut note, which make up a dry, pungent, spicy and outdoorsy top accord. Benjoin, cistus labdanum, grey amber, patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla build up an amber base of great elegance and balance . A mild hint of rum offers a pinch of livelyhood that makes it more modern. Elegant, perfectly executed, straight on the spot, it reminded me of a cat purring on naked skin. Sometimes, there is really no need for anything more, to feel good about ourselves. OR White , too, is about amber
