What do reviewers say about Material and Ambre Sultan?
This is the fragrance for people who want to smell expensive without announcing it. The opening is confrontational in the best way, dense elemi, patchouli that lingers like wet earth, a green-earth.Material
This is not the amber of amber-filled cookies or syrups. It is raw, resinous, and aggressively warm, with herbal and savory notes that emerge depending on your skin chemistry.Ambre Sultan
