What do reviewers say about Ambre Sultan and Hymba?
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
It's resinous-woody and it knows it. No apologies, no softening. If you've been burned by sweet vanillas that feel like dessert, this one has sandalwood backbone to keep things grounded.Hymba
