What do reviewers say about Under My Skin and Ambre Sultan?
Bianchi built this around castoreum and leather but she tempered them, eliminated the sweet animalics that felt too easy. The carnation iris leather that remains is the harder choice, and it asks.Under My Skin
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
