ATELIER MATERI Bois d'Ambrette is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Marie Hugentobler. Bois d'Ambrette opens with Mandarin and Ginger, settles into a heart of Angelica, Amyris, and Ambrette, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Ambroxan. ATELIER MATERI's Bois d'Ambrette carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Divisive. Some will love this for its quirky, clean-dirty skin vibe and sophisticated earthiness, others will find it off-puttingly green, dusty, or just too familiar for the price. Definitely try before you buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Its moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear, striking a balance between being present and unobtrusive. While unique, it's not a loud scent, making it versatile for casual settings, though perhaps a bit too understated for formal events or energetic sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Bois d'Ambrette opens with a flash of bright mandarin and spicy ginger, quickly settling into a distinctive green heart. Angelica and amyris lend an aromatic, almost rooty earthiness, while the star ambrette provides a waxy, musky depth. The dry down is a warm, clean musk, underpinned by smooth sandalwood and the contemporary sheen of ambroxan, creating a subtly sensual, woody skin-scent.
