Ambre
7.1Les Essentiels
Sweet · Spicy · Woody
Les Essentiels Ambre is a sweet, spicy amber scent with woody, resinous and earthy sides, unisex in character and now discontinued.
It opens with powdery notes and aniseed. The heart brings amber, white cedar and vetiver, the vetiver adding a dry, earthy depth. The base holds labdanum, vanilla, patchouli and musk; the resinous warmth softens into vanilla and settles into a sweet, oriental finish.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few votes back this up. It reads equally well on men and women, as a warm, dense scent. Les Essentiels Patchouli and Jovoy Ambre Premier have a close profile.
