About

Ambre unfurls with a delicate caress of powdery notes, quickly deepening into a warm, resinous heart. Vanilla and benzoin lend a sweet, almost gourmand nuance, but it's kept in check by the dry, slightly nutty character of tolu balsam and a hint of cedar. Ylang-ylang adds a creamy, yellow floral whisper, softening the edges of the rich amber. The overall impression is a smooth, cozy amber, not dense or heavy, but light and comforting, settling into a refined smokiness on the skin.
