What do reviewers say about Ambre Noir and Ambre 114?
Some amber fragrances announce themselves. Ambre Noir doesn't, it arrives, makes itself at home, and stays past midnight. The vanilla adds sweetness without softness.Ambre Noir
The sharp opening stops people in their tracks. Nutmeg and thyme, before the warmth kicks in. That's the whole play, bold, herbal, then amber takes over. This isn't another sweet amber.Ambre 114
