Secret Amber launched in 2017 as warm rose jam with powdery amber and soft vanilla musk: rose and Moroccan rose up top, then vanilla, amber, sandalwood and white musk.
Fresh green tea with citrus peel and cool woods is Ryokucha (2020), which opens on grapefruit, bitter orange and mandarin and rests on vetiver, Atlas cedar and ambergris.
