What do reviewers say about Duchessa and Ambre Rubis?
If you want a fragrance that smells like a Venetian palazzo in autumn, this is it. Black cherry and clove create a cozy, opulent feel, but the iris in the drydown keeps it from being overly sweet.Duchessa
Ambre Rubis manages to feel both opulent and grounded. The cherry-rum pairing is unexpectedly addictive, and the cedarwood-balsam fir drydown keeps it from sliding into sweetness.Ambre Rubis
