By the editors · 2 min readScentBar 111 opens with ambergris, vanilla, and bergamot together — an unusual configuration. Ambergris lends a warm, marine-amber radiance; bergamot adds citrus brightness; vanilla introduces immediate sweetness that anchors the composition before it reaches its base.
Opoponax forms the sole base note — a rich, balsamic, incense-like resin with honey-like sweetness and warm oriental depth. It deepens the vanilla-amber quality significantly, pulling the composition toward resinous oriental territory.
A warm, balsamic amber composition — sweet and slightly marine at the top, deeply resinous at the base. The opoponax-vanilla-ambergris axis creates cohesive warmth. Intimate in projection, best in cold weather where the balsamic richness is most comfortable.
