Guerlain Les Absolus d'Orient Ambre Eternel is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Thierry Wasser. Les Absolus d'Orient Ambre Eternel opens with Cardamom, Cinnamon, Coriander, and Ambergris, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Ylang-Ylang, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Woody and Leather. Guerlain's Les Absolus d'Orient Ambre Eternel carries an Acquired verdict, an animalic-led wear.

This discontinued Guerlain masterpiece divides opinion like few others. It's either an intoxicating, complex amber-leather dream or a synthetic scrubber. The love for it is intense; the hate, equally so. Proceed with caution and definitely sample first, if you can even find it.

About

Ambre Eternel opens with a rich, animalic ambergris, quickly joined by a spicy burst of cardamom and cinnamon. Soon, a soft, ripe peach and delicate orange blossom introduce a surprising sweetness before drying down to a prominent, smooth leather and woody base. It's a journey from salty spice to sweet fruit, then finally settling into a sophisticated, leathery embrace.
