This isn't another amber added to the pile, it IS the pile. 1905's answer to the question, and still the reference. The orris and floral absolutes lift it into something refined rather than heavy.Ambre Antique
This is not your grandmother's Shalimar. L'Essence takes the classic in a more abstract direction with incense and almond leading the charge. The vanilla is still there but draped in smoke and iris.Shalimar L'Essence
