Ombre Orientale

UnisexBy Thomas FontaineRated 3.8/5 · 78 reviews

saffron

Ombre Orientale opens on saffron, then pink pepper warms the heart. The base settles into agarwood, patchouli, amber and sandalwood, a warm woody accord. Wear it in autumn or winter, when the evenings grow long and you want a enveloping trail.
