About This Perfume
Think warm amber incense with lemony spice: that is Molinard Ambre Lumiere. It opens with Russian coriander, Italian lemon and Chinese eucalyptus, moves into amber, rose and Madagascan ylang-ylang and settles on Colombian tolu balm, Indonesian patchouli and siam benzoin. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for date nights and nights out. Released in 2014.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something amber forward and sensual for date nights.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.
Around $57.
