Heart: Floral elegance from jasmine and orange blossom . Base: Rich notes of vanilla, black coffee, cedarwood, and patchouli, evolving into a warm gourmand dry-down. ⏳ Longevity & Sillage Longevity: Typically lasts 6–8 hours on skin, and can linger on clothing into the next day . Sillage: Moderate—intimate and personal rather than overpowering. Great for work or close‑encounter settings . 👍 Pros & 👎 Cons 👍 Strengths: Exceptional value—captures ~85–90% of Black Opium DNA for far less. Smooth, layered scent: fruity-spicy-floral-gourmand evolution feels thoughtfully balanced. Clean formulation and minimalist packaging make it eco-conscious. 👎 User considerations: Dry-down can differ from wearer to wearer: I find the vanilla less prominent, and get strong florals. Spray Quality : The nozzle works perfectly and I love the magnetic closure. very unique and elegant. 🧭 Who’s It For? Perfect for those who love gourmand vanilla‑coffee blends, but prefer something softer, cleaner, and more budget-friendly. Works well for evening outings, casual dates, or cozy fall/winter days. ✅ Final Verdict Dossier Ambery Vanilla is a masterful creation —warm, inviting, and surprisingly refined for its price. It nails the aesthetic in a cleaner, more approachable form. While performance and skin chemistry vary, it’s a standout pick for anyone chasing that sweet–spicy gourmand without breaking the bank.

LOVE THIS PERFUME! I got it for prom, as I needed a really good perfume that was seductive and formal enough for going out. I blind purchased this from all the good reviews I read, and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. I absolutely love the scent, it’s warm and romantic and perfect for those nights where you need a good perfume. Lasted the whole night of prom as it went on until 3am, and still smelt it on the clothes the next day. I recommend!!! It also fit into my tiny purse I brought with me, and the quality of the bottle was really nice so I wasn’t afraid it would break if it fell out of my bag or if I dropped my bag etc. if you are a heavy perfume user like I am, it lasts a long time and I would spray multiple sprays as well.

I wasn't sure what to expect from Dossier but this Ambery Vanilla completely won me over. The scent is warm, soft, and just sophisticated enough that it doesn't read as sweet or juvenile. It's the kind of fragrance that feels like a cozy evening — rich and enveloping without being overpowering. What surprised me most is the longevity. A couple of sprays in the morning and I'm still catching hints of it well into the evening. For the price point, that's genuinely impressive. I've paid significantly more for designer fragrances that faded within a few hours. The 1.7oz size is perfect for travel or keeping in a bag, and the bottle itself looks clean and minimal — nothing cheap about the presentation. It doesn't scream "dupe" or budget fragrance at all. I've gotten multiple compliments wearing this, including people asking what I had on. That never gets old. I've since recommended it to several friends and they've all come back happy. Dossier has earned a loyal customer with this one. If you love warm, vanilla-forward scents that feel elevated and last all day, don't hesitate on this one.

Ok straight out the packaging I’m a fan cause I’m like ok this nice and then I get to smelling it and I’m like hell yeah this smell amazing but it do feel kinda weird on my skin after I sprayed it. But it smells really delightful. I sprayed it about 11 in the morning and could smell it at 8 at night. Then my sister came laying on me and she keep sniffing me telling me how good I smelt and this was hours after spraying I didn’t even have to spray more. Then it’s only 28 dollars love it

I saw reviews of this brand and decided to try being a big collector of perfumes. The smell is good but didn’t seem to last long on me. Love the magnetic cap and good size bottle but a little pricey for knock off brand. Would not purchase again.

Smells exactly like black opium, warm and smooth and a little sweet. May even lay better on my skin than the designer product! I love the way it smells on me and has lasted all day at this point. It dries to a warm vanilla scent on me and I couldn't be happier! Will definitely purchase again!

3.5 stars for me. This is not a great dupe for black opium. However, it’s not terrible either. It smells like black opium with a ton of white florals added. The notes just don’t line up to the ones listed. It’s not far off after the dry down and is mildly similar, however there are a few dupe houses that make better for similar/cheaper than prices in my opinion. I do own the OG YSL and am able to compare side by side. For others who aren’t looking for identical clones but like the scent profile, this one may work for you. Longevity isn’t great. I like beast mode fragrances. But this isnt one that evaporates off your skin right away either. You can get a couple hours at most out of this. Fades into a nice soft floral musky dry down. Bottle is cute and simple. The size for the price is average. But I’m not mad at it. Nice powerful sprayer. I just want to give the best review I possibly can for anyone blind buying this. She is YSLs cousin not twin, or even sister for that matter, I call her white opium because it’s a lighter musky floral take on the original. And the longevity is too many hours off for them to be sisters. But she IS decent otherwise. Actually I just realized something before posting this… I couldn’t figure out why this was so familiar I thought it was because it was similar to the black opium… but this smells almost IDENTICAL to another fragrance I have called First Instinct by A&F. Now that’s a good dupe for that. Problem is, the A&F one lasts 4times the amount as this and you get twice the amount for a few dollars more.

I have had this in my cart for a few months & debated on buying without smelling or testing the fragrance out first. Even after I read so many great reviews here on Amazon as well as other sites, I still wasn’t sold. The bottle of perfume I had was running low & I decided to finally give Dossier’s Ambery Vanilla a try because the under $40 vs $100 plus was to tempting. SO happy I did!!! First the presentation & box is simple but in a classy way not over the top with branding, logos or busy designs. The bottle OMG way bigger than expected & well constructed not a cheap felling plastic container, it has heavy. The smell… again OMG it is soooo good! I have not smelled YSL to compare but this is the perfect balance of vanilla, pink pepper & patchouli. Not the intense patchouli from oil or crowd at a Grateful Dead show, it’s like a beautiful earthy smell mixed with deliciousness! I have worn this three times & received compliments each time even after hours of putting it on & seems to last longer than I expected. I do reapply half way through the day but that’s how I am with every perfume I have worn in the past. This scent did not give my skin any reaction or issue & it is a scent I will wear any season or time of the year! I will definitely buy this scent many more times & excited to try some of the other scents from this brands!

so lovely i’m untouchable when I wear dossier perfume tbh

Perfume con muy buen aroma, vale la pena

Smells beautiful and a great value for money

Saw this on my tiktok fyp and had to try it! It smells so amazing! Good price for the perfume, the scent stays for a while. I absolutely love the smell. It's almost a YSL libre dupe.

This item is just as described by the seller but I wish the sent will last longer.
