What do reviewers say about Le Chypre and Ambrarem?
A serious chypre for people who know what oakmoss smells like. The castoreum and costus give it an animalic edge that's polarizing by design. Immortelle adds a honeyed sweetness that keeps it.Le Chypre
Some fragrances ask you to be patient. Ambrarem rewards you immediately, if you can handle what arrives. The castoreum and oud together aren't a polite gesture. They're a statement.Ambrarem
