Hrm, didn't Mad Hatter give you some trouble too? Sounds like maybe black musk and your skin don't play nice. And yes, amber is...sweet in a kind of spicy resiny woody sort of way? Yeah, that's clear as mud I know...
Sybaris would sound soooo interesting, if not for the violets, since the last time I tried something with the Lab's violet note it smelled like I'd just been rolling around in a giant pack of Chowards Violet candies. And I like violet gum and candies, I just don't particularly want to smell like them! Did it go all sugary like that on you too, or was it just really odd and strong?
(And hey, don't you go dissing on my tonka! *grin*)
Black musk turns into Dead!Rotting!Skunk! on my and WILL NOT come off no matter what I do. I have learned the ahrd way to avoid anything with black musk in it.
OTOH, amber turns into a warm, slightly sweet scent on me that is what vanilla ought to be. It's one of my favoritest components. (Vanilla turns into plastic on me.)
I think it was just the overpowering of musk that didn't work on that one...the amber was there for about the first 10 seconds. The musk in Mad Hatter was just fine.
China rain, on the other hand, is hella sharp on me and thus far, the only thing that I do the 'GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!' dance.
Heh, now on me black musk smells nice enough, but my skin amps it up like CRAZY. PZB got my Mad Hatter imp because on me it was damn near a black musk single note, with just a little bit of the pennyroyal coming through; not bad, but just not interesting enough to stick around when it could help addict amuse someone else.

Makes me want to play around with Hakkai quoting Shakespeare.
But lo! She doth teach the torches to burn bright!
