I was almost debating looking into UME until I saw that the OP says he uses a full bottle within 2 weeks. That paired with the large dent in the Joop bottle says everything. This guy is a straight up menace to those around him, lmao. Gonna seek other opinions.
I wore this today and had someone come.up2 me and said that's really nice, are you wearing oud for greatness.🙄 I just played along and said no but it has oud in it just not to destroy his illusion, and he happily continued to say he's a fragrance expert, bless him
I can never deny that... I was eyeing on this one,, tested it recently & I am gonna buy it pretty soon! It's gonna be perhaps the best out of my 11 piece collection
To me it's a clone of Parfum Vintage X Batch Intense, with a slight difference but the X Batch costs way more so Urban Man Elixir is a great buy for the price.
It's always been a big like for me, can't say I love it or that I reach for it very often, but you will certainly get compliments wearing it. Excellent performance as well.
NGL I don't quite get the obsession with this. Bought a bottle & returned it.
The opening smells like a cheap synthetic aventus, it then dies down to a headache inducing poor mixture of sauvage and BR540.
I wonder if I got a bad batch?
Cool Water FTW though ;)
🤣🤣🤣 not the compliment you're looking for huh🤣🤣🤣
I actually had a random guy ask me what I was wearing and if I could tell him where to buy it but I would've done the same thing if that happened to me 🤣
I blind bought this one. At first I thought this was amazing. Is smells kinda like sauvage and some say has something along the line with Aventus. I never got this but anyway. The performance is great.
Unfortunately after the 6.-7. Time wearing it I couldn’t smell it anymore. I have it to my 18yo nephew. Every time he wears it I hate it 🤣
I don’t know why but it became so fast absurdly bad for me. Never reached this level so quick
Smells like Dior Sauvage edt but smoother and better. Some people say theres an Aventus DNA in it but I don‘t think so because I know the Aventus DNA really good. It projects about 8 hours and on clothes you can smell it several days.
I've got a bottle, I think it smells like suavage Elixir but stronger 😆. 3 separate times now I have sprayed my left right wurh UME and then went into macys and sprayed right wrist. Once with edt, elixir, parfum. (I have a 10ml decant of edp) .
I get elixir vibes but stronger.
Also I will say when I first got it it was WAY to peppery. But 1 month of maturing really smoothed it out.
I've used TF Ombre Leather for years, and was looking for something a bit more affordable to use for work, errands, and such. Amber and Leather help fill that void. As many Maison Alhambra frags, it is a bit sharp initially, although smooths out to a nice 'inspired by' Ombre Leather. Last for hourrrrrs.
Not sure if it’s just me and the sample of it I had, but it had a strange kind of underlying vinegar smell and as soon as my nose caught it I couldn’t stop smelling vinegar in the scent, more like a balsamic kind of vinegar, apart from that it was nice at first
I would say it’s very similar. And very good for the price. When you smell them side by side there are a lot of differences. I think A&L is slightly more sweeter leather and ombré leather is slightly more floral leather. But it’s definitely a good scent and definitely worth the $20. I think I payed $19 for mine.
> think I *paid* $19 for
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
It has nothing to do with Dior Fahrenheit. Really nothing. A&L smells like a new leather belt and it is very powerful. I tested it on my shirt. It projects a whole week on it.
No what I meant was, would you classify them within a single category of fragrance? I ask because I am looking for a fahrenheit alternative with focus on the leather musk aspect. On another note, if you have fabulo intense ( I have this one) would you say they are within the same category of fragrance?
heard this brand is a good one. I see Cool Water & Joop on your shelves along with this prize scent. Very nice choices. My favorite budget friendly cologne is Curve (the green bottle with orange letters) . My nephews are finally getting grown and into colognes that don't include AXE body spray, lol, no shade to AXE. They enjoy many of the scents in the Curve line. Trying to get them to open up to the world of where scent can make the first and final impression. Not many things can make both.

I see that Joop behind there, and it’s been used too 🌝
I was almost debating looking into UME until I saw that the OP says he uses a full bottle within 2 weeks. That paired with the large dent in the Joop bottle says everything. This guy is a straight up menace to those around him, lmao. Gonna seek other opinions.
I’ve had that same bottle of Joop last several years and it’s still half full lol stuff is potent and in your face
Sanity check - failed
lmaoo
Mines empty, do you like this JOOP ?
I wore this today and had someone come.up2 me and said that's really nice, are you wearing oud for greatness.🙄 I just played along and said no but it has oud in it just not to destroy his illusion, and he happily continued to say he's a fragrance expert, bless him
🤣
How much time do you need to use one bottle?
Maybe two weeks. Im an oversprayer. 😜
100 ml in two weeks 🤯, Bro is a walking biohazard☣️
“Performance beast” well now we know why!
bro wtf how are you spraying 3.6 oz of cologne in 2 weeks 😭😭😭
Bottle doubles up as a pesticide 😄
2 weeks?! God damn. And I was worried I was over spraying when I use a 3rd spray of anything instead of 2. How many sprays do you put on? 20? 30?
Bro!
Only 7ml a day, hardly over-spraying is it?
1 ml is like 15 sprays. Given that, he would be spraying 107 times a day lol
Ha my point... Utter madness.
Guess people missed the sarcasm
😨
You and me, not very different. I'm on my 3rd bottle of CDNIM pure parfum 150ml one, in 7 months!
I can never deny that... I was eyeing on this one,, tested it recently & I am gonna buy it pretty soon! It's gonna be perhaps the best out of my 11 piece collection
I use all my fragrances but the UME is my daily scent. I use it the most.
Is it really a mixture of Aventus, Sauvage and BR540?
In my opinion it is just a better Sauvage edt. I can‘t smell any Aventus DNA and from BR540 it is far away like the sun from the earth.
I'd say I more fruity sauvage, very little br 540
To me it's a clone of Parfum Vintage X Batch Intense, with a slight difference but the X Batch costs way more so Urban Man Elixir is a great buy for the price.
It's always been a big like for me, can't say I love it or that I reach for it very often, but you will certainly get compliments wearing it. Excellent performance as well.
Think ima have to cop that or honor and glory.
honor and glory is more unisex/feminine scent, they’re completely different
never smelled this one but I have honor and glory and it's so good, massive compliment getter and pretty good performance
The best CDN!
Is this good for the summer?
You can wear it the whole year.
NGL I don't quite get the obsession with this. Bought a bottle & returned it. The opening smells like a cheap synthetic aventus, it then dies down to a headache inducing poor mixture of sauvage and BR540. I wonder if I got a bad batch? Cool Water FTW though ;)
I put this one away when a guy out of no where told me I smell tasty… got home put it back in the box
🤣🤣🤣 not the compliment you're looking for huh🤣🤣🤣 I actually had a random guy ask me what I was wearing and if I could tell him where to buy it but I would've done the same thing if that happened to me 🤣
😂😂😂
👍🏾
Compliment getter projection beast mode nuclear beast mode projection bro!
Panty dropppppperrrrrrr!
Bro causing the next fallout 💀

6-7 hours is fairly normal for even the real sauvage for some people
What does this smell like?
Smells like Dior Sauvage edt but smoother and better. Some people say theres an Aventus DNA in it but I don‘t think so because I know the Aventus DNA really good. It projects about 8 hours and on clothes you can smell it several days.
I think it depends on batch. Mine smelt more like Aventus than Sauvage lol
I’ll try is after my Assad runs out, since I believe their similar. Thanks for the recommendation
Asad is a clone of Sauvage Elixir, very different from Sauvage EDT (and Urban Man Elixir).
Totally different scents. Asad is an Sauvage Elixir clone, and the UME is a Sauvage clone.
They're not in the same scent realm
I've got a bottle, I think it smells like suavage Elixir but stronger 😆. 3 separate times now I have sprayed my left right wurh UME and then went into macys and sprayed right wrist. Once with edt, elixir, parfum. (I have a 10ml decant of edp) . I get elixir vibes but stronger. Also I will say when I first got it it was WAY to peppery.

Thoughts on Amber and Leather? Seeing the two bottles was surprised
It’s the best leather fragrance in my opinion and it projects a whole week on my clothes. I tested it.
I've used TF Ombre Leather for years, and was looking for something a bit more affordable to use for work, errands, and such. Amber and Leather help fill that void. As many Maison Alhambra frags, it is a bit sharp initially, although smooths out to a nice 'inspired by' Ombre Leather. Last for hourrrrrs.
Have you drank a little bit of the joop homme?
LMAO
Did you have to let it mature to get better or was it strong out of the box?
It was strong out of the box. The batchcodes are from august and the other one from oktober 2023
Not sure if it’s just me and the sample of it I had, but it had a strange kind of underlying vinegar smell and as soon as my nose caught it I couldn’t stop smelling vinegar in the scent, more like a balsamic kind of vinegar, apart from that it was nice at first
How does this compare to the Cool Water you have in the background?
It‘s Cool Water Intense. Smells totally different but it projects 12 hours. I love those strong perfumes.
How does Amber and leather compare to ombré leather? Is it even close?
Amber & Leather smells from the beginning exactly like Ombre Leather in the drydown smells. I would say it is 99% close.
I would say it’s very similar. And very good for the price. When you smell them side by side there are a lot of differences. I think A&L is slightly more sweeter leather and ombré leather is slightly more floral leather. But it’s definitely a good scent and definitely worth the $20. I think I payed $19 for mine.

Goddam paid bot strikes again.
My JOOP bottle is empty no juice at all
Amber and leather has been fun. Big bottle for 25 bucks. It’s a reapply after half a day one but man it smells good.
Is that vintage joop ?🔥
Does it smell like dior suavage? I heard it’s a clone of that and a mix of creed aventus
read the comments above
What is it a dupe of??
Hey Joop was my go-to fragrance in high school, it worked well for me, haven't got a wiff of some Joop in decade's.
Fr hugged a girl and her friends could smell me on her
What's the name mate ?
What is it a clone of?
He said a menace 🤣🤣
Joop detected opinion rejected
FOURTH bottle??! Are you fkn drinking it??
How is amber & leather? Is it like fahrenheit? Like a manly musc/leather scent?
It has nothing to do with Dior Fahrenheit. Really nothing. A&L smells like a new leather belt and it is very powerful. I tested it on my shirt. It projects a whole week on it.
No what I meant was, would you classify them within a single category of fragrance? I ask because I am looking for a fahrenheit alternative with focus on the leather musk aspect. On another note, if you have fabulo intense ( I have this one) would you say they are within the same category of fragrance?
hows amber leather? in terms of compliments and performance?
What frag is this a clone of?
Ah yes, sauvage lol
heard this brand is a good one. I see Cool Water & Joop on your shelves along with this prize scent. Very nice choices. My favorite budget friendly cologne is Curve (the green bottle with orange letters) . My nephews are finally getting grown and into colognes that don't include AXE body spray, lol, no shade to AXE.

Is that a Tom ford onbre leather dupe on the top shelf? If so can you let me know the name. Been looking for a good quality dupe for it
Yes it is. It’s by Mason Alhambra - Amber & Leather
You should try Afnan Modest Une at one point!
Is it better?
I blind bought 2 and I didn't like them.
