Fragrance notes
Turkish Rose
Character
Philtre d'Ambre is a resinous amber built for the person who wants to smell the ocean and the temple at the same time. Red mandarin and Turkish rose open the composition with a bright, slightly fruity lift that quickly gives way to a heart of red algae, cloves, myrrh, and nutmeg. The marine note is not a breezy splash of water. It is a salty, mineral presence that pulls the heavy spices toward something cooler and more atmospheric. As the fragrance settles, incense, benzoin, labdanum, Peru balsam, and patchouli create a thick, balsamic amber that feels smoky and aromatic rather than sweet. The cloves and nutmeg add a dry heat that keeps the resins from becoming cloying, while the rose lingers just enough to soften the edges of the incense.
This is a scent for gray mornings when the air is crisp and the light is pale. Wear it while walking past wet stone and fallen leaves, or while standing near a window on a cool day with a cup of tea in hand. It suits the wearer who enjoys a fragrance that feels both ancient and aquatic, who prefers a resinous warmth that carries a salty, mineral shadow through the daylight hours.
