Real talk
The myrrh and labdanum base is the real story here, not the opening. What arrives in the first hour is just the door. What stays for eight hours after is the room.Ottoman Amber
The sharp opening stops people in their tracks. Nutmeg and thyme, before the warmth kicks in. That's the whole play, bold, herbal, then amber takes over. This isn't another sweet amber.Ambre 114
