Ambre Samar
Delphine Jelk composed Guerlain Ambre Samar around patchouli, and it shows the longer you wear it.

How it moves
Cardamom, almond and frankincense hit first, the way an opening line should. By the half hour it has become amber and davana. Last to go: benzoin, Tonka Bean and patchouli.
Who made it
Delphine Jelk composed it in 2025, for Guerlain in France. A 2025 Absolus Allegoria composition inspired by a lunar eclipse, building frankincense and cardamom into a deep amber-tonka finish.
