Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Ambre Secret opens with a warm, inviting burst of amber, almost gourmand with hints of brown sugar and sweet spices, evoking cosy cinnamon buns. This quickly settles into a creamy, vanillic heart, though for some, the vanilla remains elusive. The dry-down can be a soft, musky powder, maintaining a gentle warmth, or for others, it takes on a more synthetic, simple character, reminiscent of a baking extract.
