Ambre D'Alexandrie from Boucheron, released in 2017 and composed by Jean-Christophe Hérault, is a dense, resinous amber. Everyone describes it as resinous and ambery, and about half also find it sweet, musky and aromatic.
Unusually, vanilla, benzoin and tobacco are the opening notes, so it begins already warm and sweet, with the tobacco adding a dry, leafy edge and benzoin a balsamic, slightly vanilla-like resin. The heart is labdanum and amber: labdanum is a dark, leathery, almost animalic resin, and together they give the scent its thick, glowing centre. The base is ambergris and musk, salty and skin-like, which soften the resins and carry them for hours.
It is worn by anyone. Most wearers report it as long lasting and a quarter say it practically never fades; projection is split between strong and moderate. Winter and autumn lead the votes and it is mostly worn at night. It suits cold weather and someone who wants a classic, uncompromising amber with little in the way of fruit or flowers.
