Key ingredients: osmanthus, nutmeg absolute,
labdanum
Historical Inspiration: Shalimar (1921), by Jacques Guerlain
Shalimar, intensely popular in it's day, is considered a classic perfume in the "amber" style—a marriage of heady florals and spiced amber. Ambercot trades the classic rose and jasmine heart of Shalimar for something more rare—osmanthus.
Osmanthus, prized for centuries, exists in a world of its own—opulent, sensual, and defying expectation. It smells of animalic leather and the deep sweetness of dried fruits. Both familiar and mysterious.
Ambercot takes a hefty dose of osmanthus as its core and expands upon it: first upwards, with a luminous, sweet opening of tangerine and apricots. Then, with warm spices that enrich the midpoint, before settling upon a hazy, resinous base, that evokes the timeless allure of fossilized amber.
