Amber Sky

Amber Sky Ex Nihilo unfolds as a sophisticated, spiced amber with a dry, woody foundation and a creamy vanilla-dominant drydown. It opens with a sharp, slightly peppery burst of bergamot and coriander, followed by a rich core of nutmeg, geranium, and cedar that gives it a bold, slightly leathery character. The heart integrates a dusky, resinous amber quality that evokes incense and myrrh, blending seamlessly into a smooth base of tonka bean, vanilla, sandalwood, and cedar. Despite the abundance of sweet notes in the formula, many note that the fragrance feels more austere than cloying—its elegance lies in balance, not sweetness. It performs best in cooler weather, particularly during night wear in autumn or winter, and though some users report longevity up to 19 hours, others find it fades after 6 hours, adding to its divisive reputation. The scent projects moderately to strongly, creating a subtle yet noticeable presence without overbearing sillage. Overall, it’s a refined, masculine-leaning amber that appeals strongly to fans of spicy, woody-amber compositions.
