The only feeling this one stirs in me is one of abject disappointment! I couldn't wait to try this I imagined it was fantastic from the notes. Also I desperately want to add one of these to my wardrobe...I mean the STOPPER IS A SCULPTED BUST for heavens sake!!! Don't get me wrong this smells good, fresh well balanced and blended notes that crate a masculine mix of musk and oakmoss with fruity top notes and lavender. Just to mention the opening, it's wonderfully fruity for a split second and that pineapple note is really nice. I just suspect its a victim of being too understated for something which should stand up and be counted considering the grandiose, borderline pomposity of the brand and packaging and above all price. I really hate to be a philistine but this to me smells like a long lost Lynx deodorant from the 90's, albeit a very nice classy version. Dry down is pleasant longevity is average. Certainly has something of the mundane about it, I was expecting to be swept away by Ambre Topkapi instead I just feel a bit empty. I really, really hope that Invasion Barbare is better because I want one of these preposterously opulent flacons!
No amber that I can detect. Then again, I can't detect much after about an hour. Opening is very fresh and green but quickly fades to nothing.
