What do reviewers say about DEV #1: Foreplay and Ambre Sultan?
Not for the faint of heart. The animalic notes here aren't decorative, they're the point. If you've ever wanted to smell like a room someone else just left, this is your fragrance.DEV #1: Foreplay
This is not the amber of amber-filled cookies or syrups. It is raw, resinous, and aggressively warm, with herbal and savory notes that emerge depending on your skin chemistry.Ambre Sultan
