Year: 2010
Notes: Moroccan verbena, opopanax, tonka bean, sandalwood
Anyone expecting plenty of verbena, in Ambre Céruléen, will be quite disappointed since its presence is almost negligible. Instead, the composition opens with an overbearing suntan lotion accord (courtesy of the opopanax), before the cinnamon and tonka bean surface. By this stage, the opopanax is more comparable to bitter almond than a sunscreen protection cream.
The drydown is sweeter, slightly powdery and a little chocolatey, as the bitterness gradually yields to the tonka bean. With disappointing sillage and below average longevity (about four hours), it's best geared towards those who appreciate more the intricacies of opopanax.
An archetypal amber fragrance this most certainly is not.
