Ahhhh the sinner. To say I'm not a fan of Police fragrances in general is a bit of an understatement but never let it be said that I neglect my duties as an intrepid reviewer. So I took the bullet for you guys...you're welcome! Well, honestly it isn't that bad. Sure it's a generic, synthetic, aromachemical soup but it does have a degree of cohesion. Amber & spices is a bit of a tricky description because although that's (sort of) what you have here it translates more as a powdered, soapy affair for the majority, and this juice opens quite harshly and doesn't get better for an hour or so. When settled though it's a inoffensive, gently spiced ambroxan type vibe quite minimal and cheap. At it's best points very vaguely reminscent of Dior Higher and JHaG Anyway. Much later on into the drydown (several hours because longevity is very good) as it becomes a skin scent warms up to something quite passable. I don't find it provocative, dangerous or remotely sinful. I have to say the bottle looks pretty cool but when I saw it in the flesh it was a bit disappointing. So Sinner is pretty much the usual thing we are subjected to but I don't hate it.
