What do reviewers say about Elixir des Merveilles and Ambre Impérial?
Elixir des Merveilles doesn't whisper. It's warm amber sweetness with a resinous backbone that announces itself and then settles into your skin for hours.Elixir des Merveilles
Quentin Bisch keeps things elegant here. No heavy-handed amber, no syrupy overdose. The pink pepper and bergamot keep it fresh, while the benzoin and tonka bean provide warmth without cloyingness.Ambre Impérial
