The take

What works

  • Pure Ambroxan — the ingredient behind half the world's most-complimented fragrances
  • Warm, skin-close, and deeply sensual on the right person
  • Layer under anything to amplify its ambergris effect

Trade-offs

  • Low projection — close-contact only
  • Some wearers metabolize it quickly; skin chemistry dependent
