A divisive scent for Eau des Merveilles fans. Some say it's identical, others insist it's woodier and less citrusy. Expect a mature, unusual take on amber and orange, definitely not for the faint of heart.

Its bold, mature character with prominent amber and woody notes makes it more suited for evening or formal events. While it has fresh elements, the intensity might be a bit much for a typical office setting.

About

This scent opens with a bold, bitter orange, immediately balanced by a keen freshness that isn't afraid to make a statement. As it settles, a prominent woody core of oak emerges, intertwined with a peppery bite that adds an invigorating spice. The ambergris grounds the composition, lending a dry, slightly animalic warmth that gives the overall impression of a textured, sophisticated freshness.
