    What do reviewers say about Ambre Antique and Shalimar?

    Amber is everywhere now. Most of it isn't amber at all, ambroxan, woody core, something that eventually cools down. Ambre Antique is the original formula. Ambrein and balsamic notes.Ambre Antique
    Shalimar is aldehydic history bottled, but it remains surprisingly Intimate on skin. The opening feels bright, the heart powdery and romantic, and the drydown is just plain cuddly.Shalimar
