Description
“Today, Lancôme has appointed some of the greatest contemporary perfumers to pay homage to Lancôme’s founder, Armand Petitjean. The result is Maison Lancôme’s new collection of fragrances that so exquisitely touch upon and carry on Petitjean’s dream, and the essence of the House itself.
This new High Perfumery experience takes a creative stance: the very French art of blending. Each fragrance is crafted in the same manner that one composes a wine of the most superior grade (Grand cru), with a combination of varieties, origins, and extractions that are all specially selected according to precise criteria.” – a note from the brand.
Oud Ambroisie was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Ilias Ermenidis.

Rose honey and oud amber.
It’s not the usual oud rose blend but more of sweet nutty roses and amber with tiny oud. No patchouli so far but more of amber oud and rose. Nice so far.

Well, I know this line of Lancome perfumes is not for me. Apologies to all that love this scent. For me, but this represents what happens when a perfume is made with cheap ingredients..
This is the 4th or 5th scent I’ve tested from this crop of Lancome perfumes, and none of them are working on my skin. An overtly synthetic strawberry air freshener is present in the opening, then a weird chemical concoction appears, masquerading as oud in this potion. I will give props that this composition is a solid performer – both in projection and longevity. But I couldn’t wait to wash this off.
Yuck. It’s just gross. And charging $200 a bottle? Pass.

Potent woody rose with a strawberry effect, which lends it freshness and although it is synthetic theres an interesting contrast. In another world it could be a Petite Robe Noire flanker. Lovely woody base, occasionally the fragrance morphs and gives off a fruity smoky wood note, like oud chips burning. Not quite gourmand but still mouth watering. Easy to wear, great fall scent. Doesn’t get boring.

jaw-droppingly gorgeous! Rich, creamy, swirling, honeyed, fruity, smooth oud and woods, with just the slightest veil of rose. The honey and fruity note play the lead role and I love that. Outstanding longevity – I sprayed it the early evening the night before and could still smell it on my skin the next day.
