Ambre
Molinard Ambre opens with a herbal-citrus brightness — lavender, thyme, and bergamot together read as aromatic rather than fresh, with the herbs giving the citrus a slightly medicinal edge that clears quickly.

By the editors · 2 min readMolinard Ambre opens with a herbal-citrus brightness — lavender, thyme, and bergamot together read as aromatic rather than fresh, with the herbs giving the citrus a slightly medicinal edge that clears quickly.
Incense and labdanum emerge in the heart, carrying a warm, resinous depth bolstered by clove. The amber accord here is classical in construction: dry, slightly smoky, and clearly built from natural-leaning materials rather than clean synthetic amber.
The base is expansive — sandalwood, patchouli, styrax, tonka, and cedar layer into something both substantial and cohesive. Vanilla softens without sweetening excessively. The overall effect is a warm, balsamic amber with genuine density, suited to cool-weather wear and unhurried evenings.
