100BON Elemi & Ambre is a Cologne, created by Mathieu Nardin. Elemi & Ambre opens with Bergamot, Incense, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Cedar, Jasmine, Geranium, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Labdanum. 100BON's Elemi & Ambre carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Elemi & Ambre is a resinous, incense-led scent that stays warm without turning heavy. Bergamot keeps the opening lifted, and the vanilla and sandalwood base gives it a calm, grounded finish. A good pick for cool days and anyone who likes amber with a woody backbone.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Elemi & Ambre opens with incense and elemi, lifted by bergamot. The heart brings cedar and geranium alongside jasmine and ylang-ylang, which add a soft floral warmth without turning sweet. Underneath sit labdanum, patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla, giving the base a resinous, woody and gently creamy feel. It is an amber-style scent with a clear incense thread running through it, warm and grounded rather than loud.
