About This Perfume
Think smoky leather jacket, violet powder in amber: that is Yves d'Orgeval Essence. It opens with violet and myrhh, moves into olibanum and leather and settles on agarwood (oud), amber and guaiac wood.
It works across all four seasons and is an evening scent. A good pick for date nights.
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 warm for date nights.
- Sample first if: amber is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $95.
