    Real talk

    This is amber for people who find most ambers too easy. The frankincense adds smoke that doesn't coddle, it's contemplative rather than cozy. Wear it if you want something that lingers close.Ambre Intense
    The myrrh and labdanum base is the real story here, not the opening. What arrives in the first hour is just the door. What stays for eight hours after is the room.Ottoman Amber
