Ambra Nobile Nobile

The bergamot and neroli assault with immediate brightness, almost astringent—a citric shock that feels almost medicinal against the amber's creeping warmth. Within moments, a spicy undertone emerges, something peppery and slightly resinous that prevents the opening from feeling fresh in the conventional sense; instead, it's bright *and* complex from the first spray.

The everlasting flower reveals itself as the true star here, bringing an unexpected papery, slightly anise-like quality that makes the labdanum and patchouli sing with surprising definition. The woody notes intensify as the citrus fades, and the fragrance becomes noticeably warmer and more enveloping—less cologne, more considered composition—with the tonka bean's vanilla beginning its subtle creep into the narrative without overtaking it.

The vetiver, sandalwood, and cedarwood form a cool, slightly austere base that lingers with admirable persistence, though the overall projection diminishes considerably. What remains is essentially a woody-amber skin scent, beautifully powdery and faintly spiced, that feels like wearing expensive wood shavings rather than a traditional fragrance—intimate, distinctive, and utterly devoid of conventional sweetness.
