Secret of Time
Imagine diving into a mysterious lake. You plunge headfirst into water that is rich and intoxicating, salty and sweet, slightly smoky, dense, yet at the same time smooth and creamy, like caramel. After a quarter of an hour, you emerge, and your skin is covered by an almost transparent, airy veil of gold. This fragrance, created by a true artist in the world of aromas, seems to capture mythical years in a bottle.
Each perfume from 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 finds their scent. But Ambre 114 is different; it is a timeless interpretation of sensuality that spans from East to West, an oriental fairy tale of amber.
It begins on the skin with a powerful burst of ambergris and showcases all the beauties, blended with patchouli, which appears dark, dense, and spicy.
In the background, nutmeg, vanilla, and a hint of floral elements mingle. However, these are merely companions on the stage, dominated by amber. After about 20 minutes, vanilla resin emerges, adding further sweetness.
Despite its intensity, the fragrance is surprisingly light. It envelops you like the finest cashmere sweater. After about 40 minutes, many notes merge into the amber. The scent transforms into a gentle, sweet, slightly musky amber note with vanilla. In the following hours, it remains so until it becomes a sweet amber with a touch 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 seeking a light amber-amber scent that is not overpowering, quiet and cozy, like a favorite sweater in which one can curl up, relax, and feel absolutely comfortable.
