Sans Temoin

Sans Témoin means ‘without witness’ which seems a very vague and confusing name for a fragrance, but that aside the scent is very nice. It’s a fairly standard warm spicy amber affair with sufficient sweetness and comfort surrounding it. The amber is the star, which is sweetened significantly by a creamy friendship between vanilla and tonka which compliment each other very well. The rich earthy contrast of patchouli and soft musks balance the sweetness brilliantly and give it that sharper, spicier edge to pique interest. Overall this is an enjoyable wear, but not something that wowed me. It reminds me heavily of a certain niche Amber I’ve smelled before but I just can’t place what exactly. It’s not groundbreaking or particularly unique, but definitely smells great.
