Ambivalence

7.9

D.L. Roelen

Fresh · Green · Sweet

D.L. Roelen Ambivalence is a unisex scent that opens with green leaves, cannabis and grapefruit and settles into a smoky, resinous base. The opening is fresh and sharp, with green leaves and grapefruit, while cannabis adds a herbal depth. In the heart, immortelle, hay and palo santo come forward; as it dries, frankincense and vanilla bring a resinous sweetness, and animalic musk and oakmoss darken the base. Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick spring, autumn and winter over summer, and it is suggested mostly for leisure, with night and evening wear also in the mix. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it doesn't lean firmly either way. Chapel Factory Holy Stick and Serge Lutens Encens et lavande have a close profile.
