What do reviewers say about Oriental Express and Vanille Ambre?
It's the carrot seed that starts arguments. Earthy, dry, almost mineral, this is not a typical oriental base. But in a powdery-woody composition like this one, it works.Oriental Express
The vanilla in this isn't the extracted, saccharine kind, it's the pod itself, the resinous depth that reminds you vanilla started as a tropical orchid.Vanille Ambre
