Notes: Calabrian bergamot, Italian green mandarin, Egyptian marigold, red vanilla orchid, Sri Lankan cinnamon, Thai benzoin, Spanish cistus labdanum, Indonesian patchouli, Brazilian tonka bean
Comment: Ambre Nue is part of the Collection Matières Absolues
Ambre Nue is a relatively unsatisfying take on the amber theme. While the citrus notes are both prominent and realistic, especially with regards to the green mandarin, it smells like a caricature of Tauer Perfumes' Une Rose Chyprée (albeit not as sickly sweet, less dense, and without the robust vanilla and oakmoss foundation).
With moderate projection and staying power, its evolution is pleasant but one expected something more unique and compelling. However, the persistence of the green mandarin is rather impressive.
