Ambre 114

How it moves

You meet bergamot, cinnamon and coriander at the door. Then the heart turns up — rose, jasmine and patchouli — and the whole thing slows down. The base is amber, vanilla, benzoin and musk. That is the bit on your scarf the next morning.

What wearers say

Who made it

Gérald Ghislain composed it in 2010, for Histoires de Parfums in France. Named for the 114 materials in its formula, this is the house's flagship amber and a frequent recommendation for people who find most ambers thin.
