Ambrette

Polge said that when he created les Exclusifs he took the idea of ambrette from this perfume. ❋ Ayala Sender (2007)

The notes: "raw, down and dirty patchouli, Gurjam balsam, and essence of Sampson Root sweetened with the heightened sexuality of beeswax, virile juniper, oakmoss, ambrette seed over honey and East African musk." ❋ Feste_sylvain (2009)

And I adore the way sandalwood, ambrette and patchouli create a leathery quality in the base of Mythique, giving its flirtaceous, vivaceous, girly femininity a dark, subversive depth. ❋ Marina Geigert (2009)

In the context of the entire collection released back in 2007, 31 Rue Cambon stood out right next to the quirky, nutty unpolished ambrette seeds of No. ❋ Ayala Sender (2009)

I found the leather and oakmoss drydown to be exceedingly pleasing, and the intertwining of the incense and ambrette seed with these elements made it downright addictive. ❋ Marina Geigert (2009)

The creamiest orris root is the core of this buttery-smooth perfume; complete with rosewater, vanilla and butter and topped with coconut, cardamom, mastic and nutty ambrette – Sahleb is ready to seduce you into winter. ❋ Ayala Sender (2008)

Dermal absorption and disposition of musk ambrette, musk ketone, and musk xylene in human subjects. ❋ Unknown (2008)

And of course, Sahleb and the upcoming (2009) perfume The Purple Dress will bear the same price, reflecting the high concentration of rare essences that goes into their disctinc scent (orris with 15% irone and ambrette seed in Sahleb and red & golden champaca in The Purple Dress). ❋ Ayala Sender (2008)

I have also decided to play up the musky qualities with the addition of ambrette seed CO2. ❋ Ayala Sender (2008)

This has within it one of the finest rose essences I have ever experienced, and it is further rounded out with very good jasmine and ambrette seed. ❋ Marina Geigert (2008)

I was alwasy particularly interested in trying their Ambrette 12 I love ambrette but I usually find that adding synthetics to this fine essence usually ruins it rather than improving on the subject. ❋ Ayala Sender (2008)

The drydown of this perfume is very pleasing, as the ambrette seed accord melds with skin to create a long-lasting impression. ❋ Marina Geigert (2008)

A hint of the finest rose otto from Turkey, coconut and butter essence and crushed mastic resin complete the exotic flavour, and finished with a hint of vanilla and nutty ambrette seed Sahleb is ready to seduce you into winter! ❋ Ayala Sender (2008)
