Ambre Impérial, created by Quentin Bisch for Van Cleef & Arpels in 2015 and worn by anyone, is a smooth, sweet amber with consistently good reviews. Sweetness leads, and about half of people also notice spice, woods, resin, amber and citrus.
Bergamot and pink pepper open with a bright, lightly spiced citrus. The heart is the core of the scent: vanilla, tonka bean, benzoin and amber create a creamy, golden and resinous sweetness. The base is woodsy notes, a soft, dry woodiness that keeps the amber balanced.
Most wearers report moderate longevity and a moderate trail, sometimes close to the skin. It is voted for winter and autumn and mostly for evening. Worn by anyone, it suits cold-weather evenings, dinners and cosy nights in, for people who want a polished, comforting amber that stays refined.
