    Real talk

    Ambroxan in the drydown isn't for everyone, it reads as slightly synthetic to some noses, a clean mineral note to others. But it's what makes this work in summer heat without cloying.Costarela
    Most fresh fragrances don't last, a little citrus, a little clean skin, gone by noon. Ambra Calabria doesn't. The green opening is legitimately leafy, not synthetic.Ambra Calabria
