Ambre Nuit

Maison Christian Dior · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2009

≈ $260 · 125ml · approx. retail

A regal pairing of the dark, animalic warmth of amber with the velvety softness of Turkish rose, lifted by a peppery, citrus opening. It smells rich and elegant, spicy-woody and slightly smoky, with the polished feel of a signature evening scent.
