By the editors · 2 min readPink pepper and nutmeg open Ambre with a dry, slightly prickly warmth — not overtly spicy but enough to signal that something richer is coming. Ginger and bergamot from the broader accord add brightness early on before receding.
Patchouli and freesia form an unusual heart pairing: the freesia lends a green, slightly soapy note that keeps patchouli from going fully dark. Plum adds a soft fruity sweetness underneath without becoming jammy.
Sandalwood, amber, and vanilla anchor the dry-down in familiar warm-Oriental territory, with caramel adding a gourmand edge. The composition reads as a spiced amber with enough complexity to sustain interest through multiple stages. Works well in cool weather.
