Ambre Maquis

AMBER LOVERS LOOK NO FURTHER than this rich, velvety smooth, subtly spicy, and evocative scent. I’ve never encountered a perfume so deliciously intense yet so thoughtfully well-balanced. From start to finish, you are delicately - yet noticeably - wrapped in the warm, sensual glow of amber. This rich golden sent radiates from your skin and clothes all day long and will, inevitably, gander some attention. Never have I received so many compliments as when I’m wearing this gorgeous scent. The careful mix of amber and sandalwood is as exotic as it is oddly nostalgic; you will find yourself being stopped regularly by friends and strangers alike who just *have* to ask you for the name of the perfume you’re wearing! A true scent staple and an ideal signature scent, this fragrance never disappoints. Highly recommended.

I adore this perfume. I sampled it in one of those achingly hipster shops that sell instagrammable home wares, and wandered off to have brunch, writing it off as a bit too punchy. It didn't stop nagging at me throughout my meal, demanding attention and within an hour I was in love. I bought a 10ml sample bottle for silly money and then a full bottle and I would never want to be without it now. I'm no good at describing individual notes, and tend to think of perfumes as moods. This one is cosy but invigorating, like a blustery walk by the sea while wrapped up in a soft scarf, followed by a hot chocolate with whipped cream in a warm cafe. Love love love.

Beautiful, easy to wear amber scent softened by a natural rose note, which makes Ambre Maquis seem a little different in the world of amber scents. Anyway, I am a sucker for this profile. And EDT? On a full day of wearing my manufacturers sample....quite surprising in the performance department! I have many amber scents, and it’s the season to wear them, and I guess in my case, Ambre Maquis is going on my Christmas wish list. Edit 05_05_25 I now own it, my update is that this easy to wear in all seasons. Kind of remarkable considering this recipe would typically mean it works only in the cooler months. Nice surprise.

This is the best amber I've ever smelled in my life. It's not too heavy and cloying, but I wouldn't call it a freshie, either. It's very well blended, woody, and warm. So incredibly comforting. This is an EDT formulation, but would you believe that I applied this 20 hours ago on un-moisturized skin, and it's still lingering? Admittedly, 20 hours later, it's mostly a skin scent but it's still most definitely there. The deep dry down is a gorgeous woody and resinous base with sweet patchouli. I bought the travel size but am getting the 100ml as soon as I can.

After smelling this perfume in store a number of times I finally picked up a 10ml travel size. After using this for a week all I can say is WOW. It is a gorgeous amber and wood powerhouse that is both sexy and cozy. Somehow is smells incredibly familiar yet unique and complex. I spray this on skin at 7am each morning and can still smell it on my wrist in bed in the evening. I could wear this all year round, perfect for autumn - spring and even a summer evening out. Looking forward to picking up 100mL of this fragrance and exploring the rest of the range.
