About

Ambre Nuit opens with a quick spark of zesty bergamot and grapefruit, swiftly giving way to a heart of warm, slightly spicy rose and pink pepper. The journey culminates in a smooth, elegant drydown where rich ambergris meets grounding notes of patchouli and guaiac wood. It’s a sophisticated blend that balances floral freshness with deep, resinous warmth.
