What do reviewers say about Ambilux and Poudrextase?
This fragrance doesn't pretend. Costus and castoreum make it a deliberate choice, warm, animalic, unapologetically physical. Not a scent to impress strangers. A scent to inhabit fully.Ambilux
Some will read 'civet' and hesitate. Don't. The animalic here isn't loud, it's the warmth underneath your collar by evening, the kind of thing that makes someone lean closer without knowing why.Poudrextase
