Fragrance Du Bois Amber Intense Extrait (Tester)
Description
Amber Intense is Sandra Dziad's first creation for Fragrance du Bois — a rich, Oriental fragrance built to evoke the sensual mystery of the Orient, originally launched in 2014 as the official scent of the Amber Lounge at the Singapore Grand Prix. Tangerine, cinnamon, and black pepper open into a spiced floral heart of styrax, patchouli, and rose, before benzoin, Peru balsam, musk, and genuine agarwood settle it into a warm, resinous base. It's a cold-weather, evening-leaning fragrance rather than an everyday scent.
