What do reviewers say about Ambre Impérial and Ambre Sultan?
Quentin Bisch keeps things elegant here. No heavy-handed amber, no syrupy overdose. The pink pepper and bergamot keep it fresh, while the benzoin and tonka bean provide warmth without cloyingness.Ambre Impérial
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
