Ambre Nuit by Dior, launched in 2018 and crafted by François Demachy, is an Oriental fragrance that balances the warmth of amber with the delicate complexity of rose and powdery notes. The top notes of bergamot and grapefruit introduce a freshness that contrasts beautifully with the rich heart of damask rose and pink pepper. As the scent settles into its base of ambergris, guaiac wood, cedar, and patchouli, it transforms into an enveloping warmth reminiscent of a cozy evening by the fire.

Application Tips
Apply Ambre Nuit with two sprays — the top notes are fleeting but bright, while the base notes linger for hours. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin, where its powdery warmth reads most clearly.
