What do reviewers say about Ambre Noir and Ambre Impérial?
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
Quentin Bisch keeps things elegant here. No heavy-handed amber, no syrupy overdose. The pink pepper and bergamot keep it fresh, while the benzoin and tonka bean provide warmth without cloyingness.Ambre Impérial
