Bois d'Ambre

Karl Lagerfeld's Bois d'Ambre, composed by Emilie Coppermann and released in 2021, is a green, amber citrus for men. Everyone who describes it uses all three words, so expect a scent that pairs a fresh herbal opening with a warm, resinous base and not much in between.

Only three notes are listed, and each covers one accord. Bergamot gives the citrus: bright, slightly bitter and clean. Clary sage brings the green side, a dry, herbal, faintly tea-like note with a hint of hay that reads as fresh rather than sweet. Amber provides the warmth, a soft, resinous glow that gathers as the citrus fades and gives the fragrance its name.

Reports on how long it lasts and how far it projects are still few. By character it is a versatile daytime scent, bright enough for warm weather and warm enough for cooler days, for someone who wants a simple, clean masculine fragrance with a gentle amber finish rather than a heavy wood.
