Perfumer’s Inspiration:
"Ambre Russe, is for me the Russia of the last tsars. A baroque and sumptuous world, studded with gold spheres. A world of excess reflected by intoxicating and sparkling Russian parties, glittering with embroideries, fur-lined cloaks and spectacular dress uniforms. I conceived Ambre Russe as an opulent elixir, that opens with festive notes - of Imperial Champagne and icy vodka. I then wanted to find the Slavic soul with a Russian-style tea blend, wafting out of the samovars. Incense swirling from the Orthodox church. The mythical Russian leather of the officers' riding boots, and of course, the opulence of natural ambergris, reserved for the greats of the time - which constitutes the backbone of this perfume. A fatal elixir, like the Slavic soul that knows no half-measures." (Marc-Antoine Corticchiato)

Made in France

One of the very best ambers in the world, it is felt immediately but comprehended in parts - each instance of wearing a unique arrangement of impressions. However it plays out, the overall sense is joie de vivre; an affirmation of life that tips into the giddy stupor of too much sparkling Champagne and unctuous, ice cold vodka. The ambery body of this fragrance is classical but luminous, like light twinkling off of gold surfaces and patent leather, absorbed in gorgeous fur coats and formal velvet gloves. Crackling coriander seed and soul-warming cinnamon adds a clean spicy complex to oozing measures of vanilla, labdanum, and ambergris, while incense fills the cool festive night air, punctuated with the smell of smoky black tea. Arresting, sumptuous, but also lean and expressive - Ambre Russe is a splendorous elixir from the Baroque Russia of last tsars.
