CreamyWhat does Pétale d'Ambre smell like?
The top notes of lemon and bergamot give a bright, citrusy start. In the heart, lavender and lily of the valley add a soft floral touch, while nutmeg and cistus bring a spicy edge. The base of patchouli, ambergris and cashmere wood settles into a woody, creamy finish, with a slightly synthetic tone among the accords. Nikos Sculpture Parfum and Comptoir Sud Pacifique Green Patchouli have a close profile.
