Ambre Gris
Salted resins and crushed florals that cling to the skin like silk
A dry, peppered opening of sage leads quickly into a heart of white frangipani and creamy tuberose. It avoids the heavy cloying trap of many orientals, opting instead for a salted mineral quality derived from ambergris and charred myrrh. As it settles, the sweetness of benzoin and tonka bean warms the cedar base, creating a balanced, woody glow. It sits close to the body, moving with the wearer rather than projecting across the room, feeling polished and calm for hours.
