The secret of time
Imagine diving into a mysterious lake. You glide headfirst into water that is rich and intoxicating, salty and sweet, slightly smoky, dense, but at the same time smooth and creamy, like caramel. After a quarter of an hour, you come out again and your skin is covered in an almost transparent, airy golden veil. This fragrance, created by a true artist in the world of aromas, seems to capture mythical years in a bottle.
Each perfume of this house, founded in 2000, tells a story, some are named after historical dates, the birth years of legendary figures. From Marquis de Sade to Ernest Hemingway, everyone can find their fragrance. But Ambre 114 is different, it is a timeless interpretation of sensuality that reaches from East to West, an oriental fairy tale made of amber.
Ambre 114 begins on the skin with a powerful burst of ambergris. It presents all the beauties of ambergris blended with patchouli, which is dark, dense and spicy.
In the first twenty minutes, Ambre 114 is accompanied by green notes, as if you had entered an old Hanseatic herb store. Vetiver gives it an earthy depth. Geranium emerges more strongly, lending the fragrance a peppery, slightly spicy note and balancing out the sweetness.
Nutmeg, vanilla and a hint of flowers mingle in the background. These elements are merely companions on the stage, dominated by ambergris and patchouli. After around 20 minutes, vanilla resin emerges and adds further sweetness.
Despite its intensity, Ambre 114 is surprisingly light. It envelops you like the finest cashmere sweater. After around 40 minutes, many notes melt into amber. The fragrance becomes a soft, sweet, slightly musky amber note with vanilla. It stays this way for the following hours until it becomes a sweet amber with a hint of vanilla powder and sandalwood.
Overall, Ambre 114 shows good longevity. The sillage is never overwhelming, but always noticeable. This perfume is ideal for those looking for a light amber scent that is not overpowering, quiet and cozy, like a favorite sweater to curl up in, relax and feel absolutely comfortable.
