The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by Lancôme and crafted by perfumer Ilias Ermenidis, Oud Ambroisie is an Oriental Floral fragrance that seamlessly blends the richness of oud with the sweetness of honey and rose. The composition opens with a warm, spicy accord that transitions into a heart of floral notes before settling on a woody base punctuated by patchouli. This fragrance embodies a sophisticated balance between opulent warmth and delicate florals.

How to wear it

Apply Oud Ambroisie to pulse points for maximum longevity. The warm spicy top notes are fleeting, so allow it time to develop on your skin before reapplying. Best suited for evening wear or cooler temperatures, as the woody base will feel more pronounced in a cozy environment.
