Notes cumin, helichrysum, ylang-ylang, incense, costus, castoreum, immortelle

Description Ambilux is a project inspired by holiday memories of the body sweating in the summer, exposed to the sun in a setting of dunes and sand. In the center, a "dirty" musk / helichrysum accord. It's an intimate fragrance with carnal, even sexual notes, a real olfactory trompe l'oeil that sows doubt and stirs passions.

Facets: Summer sweat. Dried weeds, dunes. Sense of heat and sun. Matte, waxen finish. Deer musk reimagined. Salt and chalk.

Eli ★★★★★

The cumin and castoreum give it a salty, animalic edge that I didn’t expect from a woody resinous scent, and it wears incredibly close to the skin for hours. I keep catching whiffs of that leathery incense warmth hours later, which is exactly the vibe I wanted.

Hazel ★★★★★

The woody resinous base really anchors the whole thing, and the helichrysum adds this hay-like warmth that I keep catching hours later. It's bold but not aggressive, and the incense note settles into something almost cozy on my skin.

Adam ★★★★★

The cumin and castoreum give it this animalic bite that I wasn't expecting, but the ylang-ylang smooths it over into something almost cozy. I sprayed it on my coat three days ago and the incense and immortelle are still clinging to the wool — that resinous trail just keeps giving.
