What do reviewers say about L'Eau d'Ambre and Ambre Gris?
The opening spices feel like a warning, then the amber and vanilla arrive and become the reason you stay. It doesn't shout, it whispers, and that whisper is warm amber, vanilla.L'Eau d'Ambre
This is ambergris done the old way. No ozone, no aquatic trick. Just the waxy, slightly animalic sweetness of the real thing, cushioned by powder and vanilla.Ambre Gris
