Created by perfumers Luca Maffei and Antoine Lie, Ambre Rubis by Houbigant was launched in 2024 as an Oriental fragrance for both women and men. The composition opens with a burst of red berries and pink pepper, which immediately create a fresh yet sweet tension. As the scent evolves, incense and jasmine lend warmth and depth, while rum and ambergris add a rich, balsamic note that anchors the entire creation in a luxurious embrace.
The woody base of cedar and fir resin grounds Ambre Rubis, giving it a sense of lastingness and elegance befitting its French heritage. This is not just a fragrance but an olfactory experience that balances fruity vibrancy with amber's enduring warmth.

Application Tips
Ambre Rubis takes about an hour to fully settle on skin. Start with one spray; it’s rich enough that less can be more. The fragrance reads best close to the skin rather than projecting widely, making it ideal for intimate settings or cooler evenings.
