What do reviewers say about Ambre Samar and À L’Ombre?
It's not subtle. That should be clear from the first three seconds. Frankincense smoke and cardamom, spicy and sweet at once, the kind of combination that either pulls you in or makes you step back.Ambre Samar
Caramel and vanilla seduce fast. But the jasmine-and-orris heart rescues this from pure dessert territory. Powdery florals cut the sweetness just enough to keep things interesting.À L’Ombre
