L’Eau D’Ambre was a nice surprise for me. It’s in no way special or unique to be fair, but it’s highly pleasant.
Soft, babypowdery amber. It’s warm, dry and sweet, but at the same time a bit refreshing. Like a retro amber. It smells a lot like labdanum or opoponax bombs, but not as smoky as some. There’s a slight aromatic tinge to L’Eeau D’Ambre. It’s really good and I would consider a purchase, if I didn’t already have Von Eusersdorff Classic Opoponax in my collection.
