Ambre Impérial

Van Cleef & Arpels · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2015

Ambre Impérial (2015) is Quentin Bisch's opulent take on amber for the Collection Extraordinaire, opening with pink pepper before settling into a dense, resinous accord of vanilla, tonka and benzoin. It reads as a rich, wintry oriental with strong projection.
