Ambre des Abysses

Name: Ambre des Abysses Eau de Parfum
Brand: Houbigant

Houbigant Ambre des Abysses is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Antoine Lie and Luca Maffei. Ambre des Abysses opens with Bergamot, Orange Blossom, and Mint, settles into a heart of Amber, Patchouli, Jasmine, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Leather, Oakmoss, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Houbigant's Ambre des Abysses carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Divisive, complex, and a touch chaotic - this one splits the crowd. Some hail it as a masterpiece, a truly unique blend of clean freshness and deep amber, while others find it a "mess" that leans too sweet or smells like earwax. Approach with caution; it's not a safe blind buy.

About

Ambre des Abysses opens with a crisp, herbaceous burst of mint, balanced by bright orange blossom and bergamot. The heart delves into a sophisticated white floral bouquet of jasmine and geranium, underscored by aromatic rosemary and a deep, resinous amber. The dry down is a rich, warm tapestry of vanilla, tonka, and dark leather, softened by earthy oakmoss.
