What do reviewers say about Ambre Gris and L'Eau d'Ambre?
This is ambergris done the old way. No ozone, no aquatic trick. Just the waxy, slightly animalic sweetness of the real thing, cushioned by powder and vanilla.Ambre Gris
The opening spices feel like a warning, then the amber and vanilla arrive and become the reason you stay. It doesn't shout, it whispers, and that whisper is warm amber, vanilla.L'Eau d'Ambre
