Red Amber
by Pascal Morabito
Red Amber by Pascal Morabito is a warm, spicy-amber fragrance with a distinctive sweet-bubblegum undertone that stands out in the crowded oriental market. It opens with a crisp citrus and peppery zing from tangerine and black pepper, quickly settling into a creamy, aromatic core of cardamom, elemi, and amber. The scent evolves into a smooth, slightly sweet woody-amber base with tonka bean and vetiver, giving it a deeply comforting, almost gourmand quality without being overly sugary. It has a well-balanced sillage, moderate and distinctive enough to be noticed, with noticeable longevity and strength suitable for evening wear, particularly in autumn and winter. Despite being synthetic in character, it feels refined and elegant, with subtle medicinal and smoky traces that lend it a mysterious, almost performative aura reminiscent of a shaman or sorcerer.
Pros

Cons
- −the sweetness can feel candy-like and may not appeal to those preferring more natural or earthy scents

- −the dry down is somewhat predictable, lacking significant development or variation beyond the core amber-sweet-woody base
