I am not generally a Duchafour or L'Artesan fan (notwithstanding my admiration for an older version of Almairrac's Voleur du Roses for a l'Artesan in 1993 or Giacobetti's Tea for Two), but I like...

L'Eau d'Ambre Extreme is a gourmand amber - spicy and sweet. The opening notes are somewhat harsh, but after a few minutes, they fade away to reveal a fragrance that is warm, sensual and close to...
