    Real talk

    Alambar doubles down on amber so hard it's almost structural. Most fragrances use it as a foundation layer, here, it's the whole building. Bergamot opens clean, cocoa adds depth, but then the amber.Alambar
    Powdery florals don't usually come with this much warmth. Empireo starts delicate, almost airy, then settles into vanilla and amber that feels closer to skin than room.Empireo
