Ambre Russe

Ambre Russe, a worthy successor to the iconic Ambre Sultan

Ambre Sultan is an essential fragrance that can claim to have paved the way for an entire lineage of contemporary amber scents. It contains a high dose of labdanum, an ambery ingredient that can be worked in many different ways. As such, Ambre Russe appears as the greatest challenger to this exceptional essence. It is even frequently preferred over it, and many of its ingredients make it particularly addictive. Ambre Russe is often compared to a good shot of vodka, starting with an icy burst before becoming simply burning. While it surprises with its hot-cold contrast, its oriental accord is particularly appreciated. The result is as soft and warm as a chapka typical of Slavic countries. Ambre Russe thus offers us a very pleasant purring after a bracing opening. Undeniably, Ambre Russe lives up to its name and wonderfully symbolises the imagined and fantasised spirit of Russia. It thereby becomes one of the greatest tsars of perfumery.

Parfum d'Empire plays on contrasts

With the fragrance Ambre Russe, Parfum d'Empire has undeniably sought to embody the extravagant universe of Russia of old. One delights in imagining oneself at the heart of a typical celebration from that country. Everything is intoxication and exhilaration. The atmosphere sparkles like champagne and becomes as icy as vodka. Nevertheless, Ambre Russe simultaneously leaves a fruity, candied note on the skin, halfway between greengage plum and mirabelle. In this sense, it is a gourmet fragrance that one loves to savour again and again. Furthermore, it is complemented by a scalding black tea paired with more liqueur-like citrus peels. The whole gradually makes way for a more leathery and smoky trail. This bold composition allows Ambre Russe to be described as a particularly modern and innovative fragrance. Indeed, its labdanum signature is worked in a very different way from the usual. Ambre Russe thus manages to break free from the typical powdery vanilla model of this olfactory category. Yet it lacks neither depth nor warmth, and the result is of the most comfortable kind. Its intoxication thus becomes almost mystical, akin to the incense smoke typical of Orthodox churches.

The Eau de Parfum Ambre Russe by Parfum d'Empire

Ambre Russe by Parfum d'Empire is an elixir that opens on the intoxicating vapours of imperial champagne and popular vodka, very quickly letting the purity of ambergris express itself.

An ambergris that blends with the sacred smoke of incense from Orthodox churches and the aromas of Russian tea drawn from samovars.

Ambre Russe is also the contrast between the animal warmth of the leather from Russian officers' boots and the vibrant effect of spices: cumin, cinnamon, coriander, like the interior of a dacha.

Opulent elixir, fatal as the Slavic soul.

This intense elixir, where the purity of ambergris is exalted by vibrant spices, the aromas of Russian tea and the sacred smoke of incense, draws us into the splendour of Russia under the last tsars.

Ambre Russe, a trail for the passionate...

Ambre Russe is the elixir of Russia under the last tsars, symbolised by the opulence of natural ambergris. A baroque and sumptuous world, studded with golden bubbles that capture the light even when it has faded, where embroideries, fur coats and magnificent military uniforms glitter.

A universe of excess, in the image of Russian celebrations, intoxicating and effervescent like champagne, an indispensable feature of Imperial Russia; they can also end with the white and icy brutality of vodka.

Ambre Russe is also the intimacy of dachas where, all day long, the samovar keeps the "Russian tea" warm, laced with cinnamon and coriander. Its slightly smoky aroma blends with that of birch and juniper wood emanating from the mythical Russian leather...

It is in the wisps of incense from the Orthodox church that the golden tones of Ambre Russe darken over a base of musk... And the celebration gives way to mystical intoxication.

Fatal as the Slavic soul, Ambre Russe ignores half-measures: a trail for the passionate.
