Yellow Air

Yellow Air opens with a spiced lift of coriander and bergamot, soon joined by a warm heart of nutmeg and geranium. The drydown is the main event: a rich, creamy amber glowing with vanilla, tonka, sandalwood and cedar - the dark, slightly incensed amber that gives the original its cozy danger. Inspired by Ex Nihilo Amber Sky, it chases that oriental-spicy character where the amber is warm and compelling rather than a simple dessert sweetness. As a Perfume Parlour version it renders the blend flatter and skin-closer, with the inexpensive amber and vanilla weighted up and the textured, woody-spicy nuances softened, so it projects less than the original's above-average performance. The result is a warm, sweet-spicy amber that captures the cold-weather coziness of Amber Sky for a fraction of the price.
