The story behind the bottle.
Ambrette 9 by Le Labo was launched in 2006 as a fresh yet complex aromatic fragrance for both women and men. The nose behind this creation is Michel Almairac. The composition opens with bright citrus notes, which are immediately contrasted by the sweet and powdery heart of aldehydic florals. This juxtaposition creates an intriguing tension that carries through to the musky base, adding depth and warmth.
Apply Ambrette 9 to pulse points and let it develop naturally on your skin. The citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so the powderiness and musk will carry through most of the day. It pairs well with light layers in transitional weather.
