About

Ambre Obscur opens with a zesty burst of orange and bergamot, cutting through the initial richness. This bright introduction quickly gives way to a dominant, warm amber heart, softened by a whisper of jasmine. As it settles, a complex base emerges, weaving together earthy labdanum, deep patchouli, and grounding vetiver, all underpinned by a subtly sweet vanilla and a hint of musk. It's an amber that manages to be both dry and opulent, full-bodied yet refined.
