What do reviewers say about Sofia and Ambre Sultan?
Moderate sillage isn't a flaw. It's a preference. Sofia wants to be discovered by whoever's beside you, not announced to a room. The musky-woody warmth stays close, skin-warm, intimate.Sofia
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
