Vanille d'Amine

5.8

L'Atelier Français des Matières · 2016

Sweet · Spicy · Resinous

L'Atelier Français des Matières Vanille d'Amine is a sweet, spicy unisex scent built around Madagascan clove, Bourbon vanilla and Somalian frankincense. The three notes read as a single whole rather than a sequence of stages. Bourbon vanilla forms the sweet body, while Madagascan clove adds a warm, sharp spice. Somalian frankincense draws a resinous, smoky background, which keeps the vanilla from turning sugary and leaves it drier and more serious. The spicy, resinous and smoky accords sit in balance with the sweetness. Created by Nathalie Feisthauer and released in 2016, its profile is close to L'Artisan Parfumeur 60 Mirabilis and Atelier Materi Vanille Carbone.

Ambre Stone

8.1

L'Atelier Français des Matières · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

L'Atelier Français des Matières Ambre Stone is a fresh, woody unisex scent that ties jasmine, bergamot and sandalwood to ambergris and patchouli. Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. With only a few votes behind this, it is a leaning rather than a firm verdict. It is unisex and does not tilt toward masculine or feminine. Citrus and neroli freshness softens into jasmine and a floral heart. Sandalwood and patchouli lay a woody base, while ambergris adds a resinous, creamy warmth. Green and spicy touches stay in the background.
