What do reviewers say about Santal Royal and Ambre des Abysses?
The name suggests sandalwood royalty. The fragrance delivers oud and leather instead. That's not a flaw, that's a statement: the royal house chose something darker, more interesting, more itself.Santal Royal
This one plays tricks on you. The name screams heavy amber, but the Mint and Orange Blossom opening keeps things airy and refined. It's Houbigant being clever, hiding the leather and oakmoss depth.Ambre des Abysses
