What do reviewers say about Velvet Amber Sun and Ambre Sultan?
The frankincense and oud in the base give Velvet Amber Sun real staying power. It's bold enough to turn heads, but the vanilla and amber keep it from being aggressive. Smell it before you commit.Velvet Amber Sun
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
