Rose Ambre
The opening is fruity-tart in the modern way — black currant's sour-jammy bite cut against bergamot, sweet but with a green metallic edge that keeps it from going gourmand too soon.

By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is fruity-tart in the modern way — black currant's sour-jammy bite cut against bergamot, sweet but with a green metallic edge that keeps it from going gourmand too soon. The transition is fast, and within minutes the rose appears.
It's a sweetened rose, not a soliflore — almond paste lifts the floral toward marzipan, and from there the base rolls in heavy. Tonka, vanilla, amber and patchouli build the kind of warm gourmand-amber bed that keeps modern oriental perfumes broadcasting for hours. Rose stays visible above it as a recurring sweetness rather than a structural element. It's plush, cold-weather, and unsubtle — the perfume reads dressy without being formal, and projects well without crowding the room.
