The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019 by Une Nuit Nomade, Ambre Khandjar is a unisex scent that weaves together warm and spicy notes with a woody base. Created by perfumer Jérôme di Marino, this fragrance opens with the bright freshness of mandarin orange and plum before settling into a heart of orris and ylang-ylang. The composition then unfolds with labdanum and vanilla pod, creating an amber-rich warmth that is both comforting and alluring. Patchouli and sandalwood anchor the base, adding depth and a powdery finish.

How to wear it

Apply Ambre Khandjar with two sprays to allow the initial freshness of mandarin orange and plum to give way to its deeper amber and woody notes. The scent settles into the skin over time, so a light first pass is recommended for a more nuanced experience.
