Orange peel brightens a heart of amber, caramel, Peru balsam and Siam resin, which rests on cedar, incense, oak, patchouli, sandalwood, tonka bean and vanilla sugar. It feels warm and enveloping, made for cold evenings. Jean-Claude Ellena composed this Eau de Parfum in 2006.

Cedar, Incense, OakCedar, oak and incense add a dry, smoky frame, while sandalwood, patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla sugar keep the finish sweet.
Verdict: keep it for cold-weather evenings. It glows like embers, amber and a drizzle of caramel, a bit dramatic and entirely lovely. Too heavy for a hot day, perfect once the air turns crisp.

Warm, sweet dry-down
Dry-down is the best part. Warm amber, a little caramel, soft and cosy. Happy with the 10 ml decant.

Ambre et caramel doux
Je sens surtout l'ambre et le caramel, enveloppés d'un souffle d'encens. Chaleureux comme une couverture un soir d'automne.

Freundin hin und weg
Habe die 10 ml Abfüllung für meine Freundin geholt und sie war sofort begeistert. Sie sagt, es riecht warm und tröstlich, ein bisschen wie Karamell mit Amber. Sie trägt es jetzt an jedem Herbstabend. Ich bin auch Fan, muss ich zugeben.

L'ho regalato a mia sorella e ne è innamorata: dice che è caldo e avvolgente. Io l'ho annusato e concordo, molto elegante.

En las cenas de otoño varias amigas me han preguntado qué perfume llevaba, y mi cuñada dijo que olía a hogar y a algo dulce. El ámbar cálido con el caramelo es muy envolvente. Lo reservo para las noches frescas; en verano me resulta demasiado intenso.

Ciepły karmel i ambra
Od razu czuję ciepłą ambrę i karmel, a potem pojawia się kadzidło, które dodaje głębi! Zapach jest otulający i bardzo elegancki. Idealny na jesienne wieczory, w lecie byłby dla mnie za ciężki. Cztery gwiazdki, bo to nie jest zapach na każdą okazję.
