Our verdict on Les Absolus d'Orient Ambre Eternel: Acquired

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.
