Does Ambar del Sur work well for the office?+−
While it is most popular for evening and leisure wear, its sophisticated woody profile can work in a business setting if applied lighty. However, its resinous warmth is generally better suited for social or formal nighttime occasions.
Is this a good choice for high heat?+−
Most users find Ambar del Sur a bit too dense for summer humidity. Its spicy-sweet character and resinous base notes perform most beautifully in the cooler air of autumn and winter.
How noticeable is the patchouli in this fragrance?+−
The Indonesian patchouli is a significant player in the heart of the scent. It provides an earthy, slightly dark counterpoint to the sweetness of the vanilla and tonka, giving the amber a more traditional, "oriental" feel.
Does the vanilla make it smell like a dessert?+−
No, the Bourbon vanilla absolute is used here to add creaminess and depth rather than a sugary, edible quality. The addition of myrrh and cistus ensures the fragrance remains more of a resinous balsamic scent than a gourmand.
