    I love the Ambre Sultan as well!

    I’m a Texan transplanted to Arkansas (in the US- but feels like a foreign country to me ;-)….

    I live in the US….and I have to say that I haven’t found a favorite Amber fragrance.

    My family is southern so we always eat comfort food. I love Smothered Chicken gravy and rice.

    I adore Amber and have been on the lookout out for something radiant rather than “thick.” So far, my favorites are not amber per se, but scent with an amber dry down: Ormonde Jayne Woman and Guerlain’s Rose Barbare both have fantastic amber dry downs.

    Winter comfort food, where to begin? So many, but mac ‘n cheese made with 3 cheeses and topped with breadcrumbs and a couple of those mini-pickles sliced on top (can’t remember what they are called, but the cut through the general cheesy-fatty aspect). Grilled cheese and tom soup is a close second…

    Thank you for the opportunity! I live in the U.S.

    My favorite amber fragrance is Hermessence Ambre Narguile.It’s sweet, slightly spicy, and comforting, especially on colder days.

  8. Suzy Q says:
    10 February 2011 at 11:59 am

    My favorite amber-based perfume is a tie between SSS Tabac Aurea and Hermessence Ambre Narguile.

    I live in the US.

    10 February 2011 at 12:08 pm

    I live in the US, where we’ve just had a couple of significant snowstorms in a row. So of course I’m turning to my favorite winter comfort foods: cottage pie, roast beef and yorkshire puddings, and homemade hot cocoa. Not all at once, but all are delicious.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  12. olenska says:
    10 February 2011 at 12:11 pm

    I live in the US…. my favorite amber fragrance is the formidable Ambre Russe by Parfum d’Empire…. and my favorite winter food is what I’ve just eaten for lunch: homemade cream of leek soup.

    10 February 2011 at 12:12 pm

    Is L’air du Desert Morocain considered an amber-based scent (sorry, can’t run to look it up right now)? If so, that is my favorite. I love LdDM, and need to break down and buy a bottle (but, I still have part of a decant, so am trying to be good).

    My favorite winter comfort food? Cheesy Italian, of course. 🙂 Maggio’s Little Italy makes this amazing mushroom ravioli with cheese in it. I can’t think of anything better than eating that, wearing my favorite fragrances and sipping a glass of red wine.

    I forgot to say that, yes, I live in the US, and yes, you have permission to use my email address.

  15. odonata9 says:
    10 February 2011 at 12:13 pm

    I live in the US. Favorite amber is Ambre Narguile. And comfort food could be so many things – probably a nice pot roast and mashed potatoes.

    10 February 2011 at 12:20 pm

    I live in the U.S.
    My favorite amber, at least with the word “amber” in it – is Annick Goutal’s Ambre Fetiche.
    My favorite comfort food of late is Chinese egg drop soup. Yummy, satisfying and feels like it’s replacing all the strength and energy this flu has zapped out of me.

  18. Filomena says:
    10 February 2011 at 12:31 pm

    I live in the U.S.
    My favorite amber is a toss-up between Amber Naguile and Prada’s L’Eau d’Ambree. My comfort food is lentil soup–so delicious and cosy on cold days.

    I live in the U.S.!

    I’ve been eating an awful lot of rice pudding this winter. Lots of nutmeg, sometimes with raisins, sometimes with toasted almonds.

    Hello Robin & NST.
    I live in the U.S.
    My fav is EL’s Sensuous, as well. (Today I am wearing Coco by Chanel in this cold Michigan weather but it’s the first time I pulled it out this season).
    My comfort food in the cold is beef Chili with tons of cheese on top. Thank you for the oppurtunity!

  28. Ikat says:
    10 February 2011 at 1:16 pm

    I live in the US.

    My fave is SL Rousse- Amber but not overwhelming

    Comfort food: TJ’s Macaroni and Cheese, or Szechwan Pot Stickers

    Proud to be an American. Any hot grains like oatmeal or cream of wheat with spices and lots of brown sugar.

  31. MelissaJane says:
    10 February 2011 at 1:25 pm

    Hi Robin. I live in the U.S. I love so many ambers. The ones I use the most are Ambre Ancien and my comfort go-to amber, CJScents Amber 25.

  32. Krizani says:
    10 February 2011 at 1:34 pm

    Wow, thanks for this chance!

    I live in the US. My very fave amber is Vol de Nuit Evasion – a lighter take on Attrape-Coeur and, in my opinion, better for it. The notes other than the amber are much more discernible and it has the most delicious rose/violet.

    Hmm, favorite winter comfort food… a big bowl of steel cut oatmeal with tons of butter, a little brown sugar and cream. MMM.

  33. Musette says:
    10 February 2011 at 1:39 pm

    I live in the US. And I have yet to find an amber scent – lord knows I’ve tried…and tried…

    favorite winter comfort food is pretty much everything – it’s -6F here in central IL. I’d eat the drywall if it wasn’t screwed into the studs.

    xo A

  34. Chanterais says:
    10 February 2011 at 1:41 pm

    Thanks for the opportunity, Robin! You’re so generous to give away these bottles. I live in the US, and my new favourite amber is the lovely, golden Alahine. After reading NST’s awesome review, I hunted down a bottle and am completely enchanted by it.

    As for winter food, I’ve got a big pot of home-made baked beans with smoked bacon humming quietly along on the stove today. It’s going to be a musical night!

  35. mixiemay says:
    10 February 2011 at 1:46 pm

    Just got a sample of SL’s Ambre Sultan and I’m in love.
    I live in the U.S and my favorite comfort food, hands down, is homemade macaroni and cheeeeeeeeese!

  36. dDub says:
    10 February 2011 at 1:58 pm

    Hi, I ‘m in the US. I have a sample of Absolue pour le Soir and it smells sweetly ambery on me. My Aunt Barb’s clam chowder is rich and comforting and perfect for winter.

  37. KateReed says:
    10 February 2011 at 2:01 pm

    I’m in the US, and I second Musette’s anything sentiment, I’m in Iowa!

    As for what I end up eating most of out of that anything, it’s my grandmothers “X and rice”. This year so far I’ve made it with chicken, capon, turkey, bison, rabbit (twice), beef and smoked trout. Really comes in handy having a good basic recipe that youcan adapt to almost any meat. Or no meat at all, I made it with seitan once and with pressed smoked tofu another time (they’re just not as satisfying, I am a commited carnivore!)

    Oh, yes…and it’s perfectly fine with me if you contact me.

  38. sunrise4aurora says:
    10 February 2011 at 2:16 pm

    I live in the US.

    My favorite winter comfort food isn’t really a food, it’s a drink… Spiced apple cider 🙂 Yummy! Sometimes with a splash of bourbon, sometime not. Either way it always makes me glad it is winter.

  39. Tamara says:
    10 February 2011 at 2:35 pm

    I live in the US and you have my OK to contact me through my email Robin.

    I love my mama’s homemade chicken noodle soup, cubed steak stew with veggies,pumpkin pie, devil’s food cake.My pineapple upside down cake, and homemade mac& cheese with baked chicken and bacon. SINFULLY DELICIOUS.

    Haven’t quite figured out my favorite amber fragrance yet.

    My favorite comfort food — mac n cheese with three cheeses, scalloped potatoes and read no-beans chilli on top of buttered spaghetti noodles. Or a think soup or stew, multiple recipes of those!

  52. gr8belief says:
    10 February 2011 at 3:53 pm

    My favorite winter “food” is tea. Drinkable fragrance, I think. There are hundreds of varieties from all over the world. Brewing a pot or cup, holding it, breathing in either a new or favorite fragrance of leaves– winter bliss. Traditional black teas, herbal, floral, medicinal, collected from travel and friends.
    Yves Rocher Amber is my current amber favorite for perfume.
    I live in the US. But my teas and fragrance collections take me all over the world!!

  53. Sonam says:

    Hello!

    I also live in the U.S. I have several amber favorites, but would say that L’Artisan’s “L’Eau d’Ambre Extreme” is one of the warmest, and elicits the most compliments. Thank you…

  55. Jill says:
    10 February 2011 at 4:31 pm

The winner right now is Starbucks’ Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate, runner up is Panera Bread’s Vermont White Cheddar Mac n Cheese. If I want to be less indulgent I go to my local Thai restaurant for Tom Yum Kai soup.
    …and of course, anything made by mom. 🙂

    Not sure I can identify “amber” yet as a note (still associate it with petrified tree sap, I’m afraid. . .)
    So. . .I really like roasted sweet potatoes. 🙂

    Winter comfort foods…..my German heritage calls to me…Pork roast, sauerkraut along with dumplings is the best comfort food in the world!!

    I live in the US. My favorite amber scent is probably Ambre Sultan. I also love Voluspa Kyara, but I on;y know it as a candle scent.

    Oh, I live in the US alright. :3

    I just had a fantastic stew the other day that was the perfect complement to the cold weather: it was almost an English-Thai fusion. Very home-y but with subtle spices and basmati rice. Yum.

    Yes, I live in the U.S.; I wonder why I live in this particular part of the U.S., given the weather, but c’est la vie. Visited an organic Italian lunch place today and had (again) an organic……meatball sammie. Tasty.

    Hello, Robin! I live in the US. Ambre Precieux is my my most beloved amber. I have lots of favorite winter comfort foods, but I’ll mention cioppino with lots of good sourdough bread. Been craving that…

    I live in the US and my favorite comfort food is a skillet dish my mom made growing up – sausage, sweet potatoes and apples (with a little brown sugar for depth). Sounds strange, but this dish is the ultimate stick to your ribs comfort food!

    I’m in the US. My favorite amber (so far) is Prada. Some of the ones mentioned in the comments make me want to go on a Search and Sniff.

    My favorite comfort food for a cold day is Campbell’s Tomato Soup. I spice it up a bit with Italian spices.

    Hi Robin, thanks so much for offering this draw. Hope everyone out there is staying warm on this cold Friday.
    My fave amber is a tie between SL’s Ambre Sultan and Laura Mercier’s Amber Passion Velvet (sadly, a limited edition, I think).
    Favorite comfort foods are pizza, spaghetti and meatballs and anything from my collection of teas (black, green, white, red, herbal, etc.). And I live in the U.S. Thanks!

    Thanks!

    I live in the US and you have permission to use my email address. I’m an amber ho, too, the more Haight-Ashbury the better. I love both MPG Ambre Precieux and LAP L’Eau d’Ambre. Since I can’t afford them, I stay happy with Auric Blends’ Amber and Pacifica Spanish Amber. Thanks for the daw.

    Hi Robin — Late to the party, but think I am just under the deadline. I lve in the USA and you can use my email to tell me I’ve won! Love, love, love Andy Tauer’s Incense Rose, but a great inexpensive amber is Yves Rocher Voile D’Ambre, especially good is the scented body lotion–keeps that skin soft and very lovely as a layer of scent under heavy clothes. A couple of snow days made me love risotto all over again–had the time to make it for lunch!! Wow, what a gourmet way to spend an afternoon.
