Ambre Tibet Maître Parfumeur et Gantier

Ambre Tibet is a solid sweet amber fragrance. It's very vanilla forward on my skin, and I primarily get labdanum (cistus) and vanilla with a non-descript woody base and phenomenal diffusive sillage, which makes sense given the ambergris (or possibly ambroxan) in the notes. The labdanum and vanilla sit right in the middle of powdery and resinous without leaning too much in either direction.

On my husband, it's just a touch warmer and dirtier (musk/patchouli?) but otherwise quite similar. He said it reminded him of the smell of his grandfather's (not busy) woodworking shop in the basement. Warm, cozy, and vaguely woody.

Neither of us got any of the floral or aromatic notes, or the incense. Sillage was incredibly impressive for about 6 hours and then slowly fades closer and closer to skin.

Sprayed on from brand sample from Scent Club Mystery Kit #1. Worn on skin about 9hrs at time of writing.
