Notes: ylang-ylang from the Comoro Islands, Atlas cedar, benzoin, Madagascan vanilla, Tolu balsam
Comment: Ambre is part of Les Nombres d'Or Collection
Ambre is a soft, inviting and inoffensive rendition of amber but nothing more...
With opening accords of cedar and ylang-ylang, it effortlessly progresses towards the heart of the composition, mainly consisting of benzoin, vanilla and Tolu balsam. Yes, it's pleasantly sweet, creamy and slightly dusty but there's nothing particularly distinctive, memorable or compelling about it.
It's a reasonable effort but, at the same time, it lacks any real bite. With a multitude of niche amber alternatives available, it simply fails to hold its own against such stiff competition.
