Sel d'Ambre

Which Should You Buy?
Squid is a wild ride, a deeply polarising scent that you'll either adore as a masterpiece of dark, oceanic artistry or despise as an utter abomination. It's an immersive experience, not just a perfume, but definitely not one for the faint of heart.
This isn't your average syrupy amber; Sel d'Ambre is a divisive, opinionated beast. It's a dry, mineral, and almost austere take on amber that won't be for everyone, but those who love it rave about its unique sophistication and depth.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and unique, challenging profile, often described as 'otherworldly' and 'deep sea', make it unsuitable for typical office wear. It shines in formal or date settings, particularly in the evening, where its mystery and sophistication can be appreciated without overwhelming a casual daytime environment. Some find it cosy for personal wear, but it's not a go-to casual scent for being around others.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong amber and animalic accords, paired with excellent longevity and noticeable projection, Sel d'Ambre is best suited for evening wear. It's a bit too bold and heavy for everyday casual or office use, but perfect for a sophisticated date night or a formal event where you want to make an impression.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Balsamic accords and Ambergris notes
