Amabile Xerjoff, the One Worthy of Love
The brand launched this fragrance on the market last year, in 2020, and perhaps the timing was not chosen at random, nor was the name. We all needed, and still need, a dose of sunny emotion.
Amabile (pronounced [amAbile])
It looks like a smile, carrying a surge of positivity, a burst of light and energy. Translated, Amabile means "worthy of love," and it is hard to disagree, this fragrance simply does not give you the chance to pass it by. The sound of the composition is in unison with the color of the bottle, just as bright and eye catching! A citrus burst with the first spray, lemon and bergamot in all their juicy, sour, fruity splendor, tart and fresh! The pull of the citruses is balanced by the fresh white floral duo of beloved jasmine and apple blossom, followed by warm, subtly spicy cardamom.
Amabile is one of the pioneers of an innovative ingredient in perfumery, green vanilla, created from the extract of still unripe vanilla pods. Simultaneously green and quietly sharp, simultaneously sweet, this note is a true delight for senses grown numb from the tireless exploitation of familiar vanilla accords and combinations.
Amabile is an eau de parfum with an exceptionally energizing effect: in the first seconds, a wave of citrus freshness and temperament crashes into the floral-spicy heart, allowing the fragrance to unfold calmly all the way to the base. In luxurious compositions, this stage is gentle and moves at a somewhat slow pace, so that we can fully enjoy the beauty of its development without unnecessary dynamics. It is simply a sip of a cold martini with ice and a slice of bergamot, warming spices, and that incredible, musky, green vanilla that gives voice to Amabile in a truly revolutionary way!
As for longevity and sillage, this fragrance should be included in perfumery students' textbooks. Amabile sounds strong, vibrant, and bright throughout the roughly 10 hours of its main phase. Yes, the composition develops and changes, but the citrus notes ring out the whole time, and they are highly volatile, disappearing quickly, which is why they are almost always found in the top notes. Whatever Chris Maurice used, specially developed fixatives or something straight out of NASA's arsenal, he has achieved a technically incredible unisex fragrance, multilayered and complex, one that deserves genuine applause. Refreshing, refined, citrusy, bitter, highly diffusive, and remarkably beautiful!
Amabile is capable of cutting through sulky clouds and brightening our day with the sunny joy and mood radiating from it. It opens up a higher sky, caresses with a brighter sun, carries incredible charisma, is wonderful even at 30 degrees, and will not leave you indifferent!
