What do reviewers say about Ambre Russe and Quintessentially Amber?
Amber that means it. Not the quiet, skin-close kind. The imperial kind. If you've been searching for one that doesn't tiptoe, the Russian leather and spice will argue for you.Ambre Russe
Amber done the way it should be, warm, resinous, creamy, spicy, sweet, salty, camphoric, incensy. Sultan Pasha didn't play it safe here. The result is a fragrance that rewards patience and commands.Quintessentially Amber
