About This Perfume
Karl Lagerfeld Bois d'Ambre smells like Sweet plum, amber wood, smoky tonka warmth. It opens with bergamot, plum and bitter orange, moves into Atlas cedar, clary sage and geranium and settles on tonka bean, amber and gaiac wood. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. A good pick for casual days, the office and date nights. Released in 2021.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
