What do reviewers say about Velvet Amber and Ambrarem?
It starts approachable, then doesn't apologize for what follows. The citrus cools, but leather and oud build underneath. By hour three, you've worn something worth the commitment.Velvet Amber
Some fragrances ask you to be patient. Ambrarem rewards you immediately, if you can handle what arrives. The castoreum and oud together aren't a polite gesture. They're a statement.Ambrarem
