AMBAR DEL SUR

I’ve worn a lot of ambers that go flat by midday, but this one keeps that warm myrrh and vanilla hum going well into the evening. The bergamot opening is bright and clean, then it settles into something surprisingly soft and woody. My only worry is running out before winter’s over.

The jasmine and patchouli hit first, then that amber-and-tonka drydown lingers for hours on my skin. It's warm without being cloying, and I've gotten three compliments already. My only complaint is that I wish the bottle were bigger.

The sandalwood and vanilla come through warm and creamy without ever turning powdery, which is a balance I rarely find. I get a solid six hours before it settles into a soft, myrrh-sweet base that still lingers on my collar. This is my new go-to for evenings.
