This scent is wonderful. It is warm and sweet but not overpowering or nauseating. I love vanilla scents but not as top notes and this provided the perfect backdrop for other notes to shine. It opens up with the liquorice and quickly settles into a crisp, sweet smell that let the pear and pink pepper come through. For me the orange blossom comes through lightly as you wear it and finally, the base that I love. The warm, sweet vanilla and coffee relax on your skin and are provided with some edge by the cedarwood. This is not one of those simple and sweet vanilla scents. It's complex but nothing intimidating. I would have loved better projection and sillage but it's great, nonetheless!

My problem is with the packaging labels being bubbled. My last three orders have had them and in the last 5 orders Ive got NO samples. Makes me want to consider another brand for my purchases. With nowhere to smell your products I rely on the samples.

I was so underwhelmed with this perfume. I did a smell comparison between this and black opium and this wasnt even a close dupe. This smelt more stingy and sharp. I have never had issues with perfume longevity but I found that I had to reapply by mid afternoon for it to last. Maybe my skin just didnt agree with the formulation on the longevity front but I can not move past the vast difference in smell. My best guess is that it went through an extreme temperature shift in shipping that maybe had a reaction to change the smell since I did order it in winter and temps dropped to the negatives multiple days during shipping. I am going to try another fragrance from dossier, Im hoping it was just something in this scent because you really cant beat the price.

I really wanted to try YSL Black Opium but my goodness the price....I couldnt do it. I read reviews of this version being close, and although I dont know how close it is as Ive never smelled the original, this Ambery Vanilla is fantastic. It lasts all day on me with 1 spray, lingers nicely, isnt overpowering or annoying as far as vanilla scents can go. It makes me feel pretty :) My husband likes it which is a hard sell, hes pretty loyal to certain scents, but likes this one so I know its a keeper. It doesnt give me a headache as some fragrances tend to do. The only other fragrance this is similar to that I have smelled is Kat Avon D Saint perfume, but this Ambery Vanilla lasts longer and is a bit more vanilla smelling which I like more. Its just a lovely smell that I will repurchase again :)

My sister-in-law turned me on to this product, and I decided to try it after smelling Floral Marshmallow which smelt delicious. I love the smell of YSL Black Opium. Ambery Vanilla smells just like it. I'm completely sold. You have a customer for life. Thank you, Sis

Very dissapointed with this one. I am still wondering if the perfume I got is not the one that was supposed to go in this bottle. It smells nothing like Black Opium it smells like strong citrus aftershave. I went back to read reviews and see if anyone else has the same impression and I couldnt find anything. Even after letting it set for 30 minutes, I still get lemon and mandarin absolutely no sweetness, vanilla or coffee. I am super confused and dissapointed with this and unfortunately this was a replacement for another scent and cannot be returned or exchanged anymore. I wish I kept the scent I returned because it smelled so much better this is straight up a male perfume. Even looking at the liquid comparison with the website picture: the website shows a yellow-orange liquid while the one I got is completely clear...

Although I am not a huge fan of sweet scents like vanilla, this, for whatever reason, didnt make me feel nauseous or gave me a headache. its a subtle and I really liked it. Received compliments at work so thats always nice!! I definitely recommend this perfume to anyone who enjoys sweet scents.

Initially, I was worried that the hype around the dupe would turn out to be all fake and not worth it. However, Ambery Vanilla is exactly like YSL's Black Opium! It even lasts long too, after coming home from school I can still smell it on me. I will for sure purchase this again! I hope in the future that a mini travel size perfume is available.

I promise this one will be your new favorite! A little goes a long way with Dossier perfumes. I feel like they all last a really long time. I havent been disappointed in any of my purchases. Weve all bought dupes that smell NOTHING like the original & give you a headache. Every one Ive bought smells just like the original

I was looking for a scent that was similar to Symphony by Louis Vuitton and these scent notes were similar. Now this scent is not a dupe for Symphony, but I surprisingly LOVE it . Its bright and spicy at the same time, and Ive already received compliments . I really do love this scent
