Nasamat Russian Amber EDP in detail
Nasamat is the house behind Russian Amber EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Lancôme Variety and Lorenzo Villoresi Teint de Neige Eau de Parfum unisex spread further.
When in the day to wear Russian Amber
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its sweet side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Lancôme Variety is a lighter match.
Nasamat perfumes worth knowing
The house has 12 perfumes here, led by Cambodian Oud, Scotland Leather and England Cashmere.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €184. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Lancôme Variety and Slava Zaitsev Maroussia.
Russian Amber through the year
The best time of year to wear it is fall. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Lancôme Variety and Lorenzo Villoresi Teint de Neige Eau de Parfum unisex last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
