‘Ambre de Noire by Maksim Perfume transports you to the warm atmosphere of an Oriental bazaar, where spicy herbs, resinous woods, and tropical flowers blend into a harmonious symphony. Top notes greet you with the gentle bitterness of saffron and fresh herbal accents, creating an intriguing opening that sparks curiosity for the fragrance’s deeper facets. In the heart, exotic Indian Shamama envelops refined magnolia and creamy frangipani from Thai gardens. Smoky, earthy tobacco lends a sweet, woody warmth to the blend, shaping a dark Oriental character. The base is built around a rich amber accord, where Irish ambergris serves not only as a rare and precious ingredient but also as a powerful fixative, unifying each layer of the composition into a cohesive whole. Creamy sandalwood and the powdery sweetness of tonka beans soften the sillage, while Bourbon vanilla adds a velvety, subtly smoky finish. The result is a deep, multi-layered creation in which every ingredient reveals its full potential, maintaining perfect harmony throughout.’ – Maksim Perfume
